Not true, according to Wray Kephart. Mr. Kephart presently works as an engineer but he previously worked in a hospital, performing autopsies, most of which were paid for by insurance companies, seeking to determine whether the deceased committed suicide, or died from "natural causes". Kephart tells me that he's done approximately 1560 autopsies, and he's seen some strange things, such as the lungs of auto painters, which were "effectively sealed with catalyzed lacquers"." www.lcolby.com/b-chap7.htm "A common idea, amongst smokers and non-smokers alike, is that smoking causes tar deposits in the lungs. These tar deposits supposedly build up and cause the lungs to turn black, and it is believed that these tars lead to lung cancer,[1] and Cancer Research UK says of tar “a sticky black residue made up of thousands of chemicals that stays in the smoker’s lungs and causes cancer.” However, it does not take much logical thought, and science, to realise this not only isn’t true, but can’t be true. The idea that smoking causes black lungs is no more than a myth, and the evidence for this is plentiful." [link to www.smokescreens.org] "Smoking and health have been the subject of argument since tobacco was introduced to Europe in the sixteenth century. King James I was a pioneer antismoker. In 1604 he declared that smoking was "a custome lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the Nose, harmefull to the braine, dangerous to the Lungs, and in the blacke stinking fume thereof, neerest resembling the horrible Stigian smoke of the pit that is bottomelesse." But like many a politician since, he decided that taxing tobacco was a more sensible option than banning it. "Edgar Cayce, a famous psychic healer, recommended smoking four to six all-tobacco cigarettes each day for people who suffer from asthma. A member of the alt.smokers discussion group, Charlotte Roneus, is an asthma sufferer and she finds that smoking cigarettes soothes her lungs and relieves the attacks. It has been known for centuries that smoking is a remedy for a cough or bad throat, and whilst many smokers abstain from smoking whilst they have an illness, those who do smoke with a sore throat often notice it feels better." [link to www.smokescreens.org] You have all been lied to. [/quote] Wow..alot to think about! I switch to Menthol when I have a cold..I feel like I am "medicating" myself.:stoner: ^ YES. Like most info given out to the masses. I do think however that all the poison additives in commercial cigs just adds to the toxic crap all of humanity is increasingly exposed to. Pure rolled tobacco or a brand like American Spirit are solid choices ^^ [/quote] [/quote]
