Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34585699 B) I'll bet its been 60 years or more since she was mistaken for a highly mobile adventurous health nut. She's made it to 102 and going. I'm pretty sure she don't care about reeking. Anyways, after 70, we all smell like Ben Gay. Good cover up for smells. |

I don't think we will be seeing her in the Guinness book. Quoting: newu4eah You made me feel bad on my 1 pack and a half per day. Sorry, I smoke about a pack & a half too... made me feel bad as well.

I think cigarettes were HEALTHIER prior to filters. It allows them to add a shit ton more chemicals with "filters", and the filters themselves are major toxic. I am of the belief that when heated (via smoke inhalation) these filters offput hardcore chemicals and other debris. To illustrate, sit in a closed room and have a smoke (if you're a smoker)... no problem, then let the smoke burn all the way down to filter and if you smell that filter burning for even one second your body naturally says get that the fuck away from me cause it knows its lethal shit. |

nightlight7 User ID: 20322482 United States 02/19/2013 09:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ive been smoking 10 years and feel dead most of the time with loads of lung pain. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34771596 If you're smoking supermarket junk cigarettes, you are likely not smoking tobacco leaf but "tobacco sheets" (reconstituted scraps, wood pulp, artificial colorings & flavorings, plus added nicotine). That's like eating only twinkies vs natural food and complaining your stomach feels bloated. It's actually even worse, since all the premade cigarettes last few years must be so-called "Fire Safe Cigarettes", so you're also smoking fire retardants (that will give you headaches, throataches, hurt your chest, etc). The only only way left to smoke classical cigarettes, the way they were meant to be enjoyed, is to get additive free tobacco and make your own (look up: RYO tobacco tubes Topomatic). You will pay $10-$15 per carton (after one time buying a tube stuffing machine for $25-$45), instead of paying antismoking parasites $70 or more. Even with a stuffing machine, you will save on the first carton.

Yep, filters will deposit non-biodegradable fibers into lungs causing excessive cough since all that has to be expelled some way. It's best smoke pure, additive free leaf in the home made cigarettes. The premade cigarettes, like those you buy in supermarkets or gas stations, are all FSC ("fire safe cigarettes") and contain fire retardants, which are noxious to smoke and damaging to your health. |

Lung cancer is a direct result of being exposed to other substances than tobacco. The U.S. experienced it's lung cancer leap in the 1950's. We correlate it with smoking. We should correlate it with nuk testing. That's when cancer began to take off. |

I know :-(, my Mother died from smoking, she was so young when diagnosed at only 57 with end stage COPD, I would look at all these people in their 70's lighting up and think..why? why my Mom so young..why couldn't she of been able to be like these people. BUT I also found out that she may have gotten sick when she worked on a farm when she was young and it did something to her eyes. the Doctor told her it was something in the hay.. I remember she told me the story of a doctor telling her she can lose her vision from it and she needs to see another doctor, but she never went she was afraid of them. I looked up things that can be related and apparently there is a chronic illness that can affect the lungs from some infection you get from bird or bat droppings found in dirt or hay..but she never got diagnosed I wonder if her constant 3 pack a day smoking and what may have been this illness could of been related. But who knows all I know is she coughed her brains out since I could remember and never quit, died on me when I was only 27 and needed her more then ever. I blame cigarettes. |

Something I found interesting was that the first week was a bit difficult. I felt like I was going through some sort of withdrawal, like when you quit but not as intense. I don't know for sure, and couldn't find anything about it online, but I believe I was in fact withdrawing from whatever crazy crap that gets added in the store-bought brands. A week after I made the switch I was able to fully appreciate the bold, natural flavor of the tobacco (you can really tell a difference in quality from the factory made ones), I don't feel physical cravings as strongly, and I'm saving a buttload of money. So... If anyone's even thinking about possibly making the switch to RYO cigs, I say do it. It's not a big risk financially and it's well worth it. |
