I love them. I'm on the wagon because I don't smoke one rarely--but tobacco is like sugar and alcohol and caffeine--and sex--an exquisite pleasure some folks can't handle. But exquisite pleasure, when it doesn't rope uour neck and lead you like a lamb...is exquisite pleasure. Who complains? Not the little lambs. I will join you when I can...smoke one after Sunday dinner and need to worry about the 18 going stale... Tobacco is holy. Big Tobacco is unholy. Grow your own. |

I hate that people look down on you for smoking. I try not to judge people so it can get to me when I get judged for smoking. My daughter has had friends whose parents won't let them be friends out of school because the parents have found out I smoke. Quoting: Rochelle Yes, those parents don't want their kids to befriend your kids, but I'd love to look in their medicine cabinet - is a xanax or a valium worse than a cigarette? What about the liquor cabinet? Couple bottles of wine or a bottle of Jack is certainly better than a couple smokes! Hugs to you and karma yeah the most common sentence that comes out of a teens mouth is "where's the liquor?", not where do your parents hide the cigarettes lol. I know my friends asked that lol Sheep the moon |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1507912 United States 12/06/2012 12:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yep i decided to quit as well. I tried juggling smoking and jogging and found they didnt work together. LOL The kew yo quitting is you have to become totaly disgusted by it. In my case i used that tactic and the fact i have a daughter to live for. Im really worried about my mom though. Shes been a heavy smokey for years and Both of her parents died of lung cancer and one of them wasnt even a smoker... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6409759 Interesting point. My uncles that smoked lived well into their 80s, as did my Grandpa (also a smoker), my Grandmother, not a smoker, although she lived with smokers - also lived well into her 80s. My aunt that didn't smoke died in her 70s, from cancer, cursing those goddamned smokers that lived longer than her. My dad passed in his 60s - ate up with cancer - but he was also around during some of those early nuclear explosions during WWII. I swear, I saw his health grow far worse after he listened to the doctors. My experience was the opposite. The smokers in my family all developed either lung cancer, severe COPD, and heart disease with blocked arteries. 3 male members of my family that were heavy smokers died slow, painful deaths in their late 60's and early 70's. Your family must have had good genes. Your family could have been exposed to something in the environment, you know there were a lot of experiment done on people. No one read when they pump gas in their car, it says that gas is a known cancer causing agent. Have they said any thing about that. Mill worker have gotten a lot of lung cancer and people who worked in the automotive industry. I could go on but you might get the idea. I forgot margarine is one of the thing that will clog arteries, the change from a natural diet to man made products, is a big thing in heart disease. I have been reading about their experiment on people without them knowing. It was a change in their diet changes. |

Here is the truth: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24011342 4% of all non-smokers get lung cancer. 8% of all smokers will get lung cancer. The anti-smoking crowd acts like, "OMG, you took a puff on a cigarette...you'll be dead in a few minutes!" Total BS! Those who like to lie with statistics will tell you...smoking increases your chances of getting lung cancer by 100%....yeah...that is relatively, because 8 is 100% bigger than 4....now looking at it absolutely...1 in 25 not smoking get lung cancer, 1 in about 13 smokers get lung cancer. Love reason! But I think the statistics may be a little misinterpreted. Because any death from a smoker - any death - even if they are 96 and smoked at some point in their life is called due to smoking. I actually think, if truth were told, the instances of non-smokers getting lung cancer is higher than smokers - why else did they come up with the second-hand smoke thing - which the researchers called them on the carpet about, but didn't stop the media from reporting. And now there is third hand smoke. "Don't buy a used car from a smoker - it'll kill you and your kids!!" And I'm sure you are familiar with the cancer society - that if you survive the chemo for five years - and die the next day, they add that to the stats of survival - not encompassing what that chemo did to your body and how you suffered. I hate the world, btw, but thanks for adding input ^^^Everything you said. Our town council just voted 9-0 to ban smoking anywhere near downtown "mall" 20 blocks down 4 across. Meanwhile 3 city-wide poisonings take place by monsanto's finest herbicides/pest bearing a label relevant 25 years ago, reformulated (3x) kills wildlife and by drift anything that's not grass (flowers vegets), even the leaves fall from the trees and I am ill for months in complex ways after application.

Odd thing is I can't ever smell smoke outside of those rooms. The suctioning of the room is incredible. But I dislike how they tend to make them glass encased so that all the non smokers get to stare at you as if your in the zoo or something. |

Bad since birth only it wasn't discovered until a week before surgery. Before surgery they tested my arteries, including the carotid in my neck. All were clear as a bell. I had a lung test where you pant then blow as hard as you can and lungs were clear. I smoke a little over a pack a day, 34 yrs. Am I just lucky? I won't stay lucky if I keep taking all the medications I'm on now. Blood pressure, cholesterol, synrthroid (they radiated my thyroid last year when they THOUGHT I had Graves Disease!) and Coumadin to name a few. Top that off with some nice carpet glue (news to me!) and I'll be lucky to make it another year! I'm a walking chemical plant!

Anonymous Coward User ID: 21106518 United States 12/06/2012 02:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Flouride works the exact opposite of nicotine in the brain on acetylcholine. Chronic fluoride toxicity decreases the number of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in brain. Chronic exposure to nicotine has been reported to increase the number of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) in brain. The rat pineal gland contains a high density of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). The current old-age record holder is Jeanne Calment, a Frenchwoman who died in 1997 at the age of 122, after smoking for nearly 100 years. hmmmmm - all of these facts can be googled. Maybe nicotine is not welcome in the dumbing down agenda? Fluoride is, though. |
