A love of nicotine unites all peoples across the globe, regardless of colour, wealth or creed.
Where religion and politics have failed tobacco has succeeded, but at what cost?
For over 50 years people have been knowingly paying for the pleasure of tobacco with their lives, making man's fatal tryst with the cigarette one of the strangest love affairs ever.
But as smoking bans in the US and Europe abound, what is happening in poorer nations?
Their love affair is still in its first flush - one third of the world's cigarettes are smoked in China alone.
And globally the tobacco industry is still worth $430 billion and going strong.
Years ago I clipped the obituary of R.J. Reynolds 3rd, Tobacco Heir, 60, who didn't quit. It states that the 'cause of death was emphysema and congestive heart failure caused by smoking cigarettes.' It goes on to state that 'Their father, Richard J. Reynolds 2nd, also died of emphysema, in 1964 at the age of 58.' So, I did quit, finally, with great effort, and now am 79 years old. Twenty years my friends..... 20 more years of life have I enjoyed than those two idiots who couldn't, or wouldn't, quit. It was the hardest thing I ever did, and took me 8 tries. I would like to shout out to the entire world to embrace life....... and to give up a filthy habit that makes you stink and wastes your money. You can do it......
There is literally no evidence that Tobacco causes cancer.. intact it may even PROTECT against lung cancer... the harm only comes from the PLASTIC and the other nasty shite they add to the papers and the chemicals that they treat many tobacco brands with. Tobacco has been around for thousands of years yet only recently it has been considered something harmful.. Tobacco protects against dementia and it makes people able to increase intelligence by an increased amount when it is grown naturally and smoked in a pipe .. it is disgusting what the big corporations are doing and it is obviously planned for whatever shady reasons the top of the pyramid have.
I love cigarette. I enjoy smoking so much. I sometimes smoke but not all day. I am in good health because I sometimes exercise and walk. Then, we want to smoke at home or apartment without balcony or outside because it is very very cold in the outside or balcony.
This description claims the tobacco industry is growing, but are they really? I've seen graphs of e-cigarettes growing and traditional cigarette market share shrinking.
nice post..
There is huge number of people who use tobacco cigarette for smoking. As we all know that smoking is an addiction so once you start smoking with tobacco cigarette quit it completely is very difficult but not impossible. So quit tobacco smoking as soon as possible.

there is a HUGE difference in now days tabacco and the native american
they smoked pure tabacco and what you smoke and tabacco+chemicals and much much more ****...so...your argument is invalid
first research little bit about tabacco and then preach how good it is
I smoked for 23 years and quit overnight with an electronic cigarette. No kidding. Six months later I was given a clean bill of health following a complete physical by my doctor.
I can honestly say that I smoke tobacco because I truly and genuinely enjoy it. There is a very old and very rich tradition of smoking tobacco on this continent of which many people appear to be unaware. The Native Americans have been using tobacco for both ritual and medicinal purposes for a very long time and they were doing just fine until the Europeans came along. The anti-tobacco movement is nothing more than an attempt on the part of the owners of this country to destroy the last remaining shreds of Native American cultures. If tobacco were banned today it would also be an egregious attack on the personal freedoms of all Americans. The fact of the matter is that we all have the right to do whatever we like with our bodies. Not only is smoking tobacco pleasurable and relaxing for me, I also consider it to be a spiritual practice (like the Native Americans). So if i'm ever in public and I stand off from a crowd to enjoy a cigarette and someone comes up to me complaining about the smoke i'll simply tell them, "I'm practicing my religion". Last time I checked everybody in America had the right to practice their religion. Does anybody care to try and find any holes in my argument?
The ratio of smoking is highest in China is because of the population, this habit takes millions of lives every year and is also dangerous for the environment.
I hate nazi's . Smoking is my problem to continually attempt to quit. Anyone that tries to voice their opinion of others ways, errors, habits or even where you stop and visit along a bike path. Nazi's! If people want to worry about something, Look in the ******* mirror sometimes. Start there!
Fact is people smoke because they are young and stupid or they are old and addicted. They all say the same thing, they all do the same thing, they are all the same !! "I smoke because I like to" Wrong !!! You smoke because you are week> You smoke because you couldn't say-- no thanks inhaling burning leaves insn't my thing! I like donuts, but i don't carry a sleeve of them in my pocket, or wear a stupid hat with DUNKIN written on it!! Ask one of these " i do it becasuse I like it" people to stop for a week, or even a day and look at their face !!! TERROR !! If you want to lose a friend tell them in front of other friends that you will give them $50 to not smoke for a day or two... They will hate you for that because they know they can't ! I know what every smoker says about the subject. Thery are not very bright. A guy with a needle in his arm has a problem, a parent who smokes around their children and spends $$$ THOUSANDS a year on tobacco is a good person??? I don't think so !! And by the way could you take a shower before you walk by me at the grocery store!!YOU STINK !!
An electronic cigarette, also known as an e-cigarette, vapor cigarette or an e-cig, is an electrical
inhaler that vaporizes a propylene glycol- or glycerin- or polyethylene glycol-based liquid solution into
an aerosol mist, simulating the act of tobacco smoking. It is often marketed as a smoking cessation aid
or tobacco replacement.
I do like that they tell you how cigarettes shorten your life by, on average, 10 years.
Sure sounds like a lot, until you remember those will probably be the years you'll be wearing diapers again and sitting in a nursing home just waiting for Death to come and take you away : /
Any of you really gonna miss those years?
Smoke em' if you've got em'!
You can never have enough cigarettes! I'm proud to be a slave to nicotine, and will smoke 'till the day I die.
Newport 100s are my one true love.
I smoked for 15 years and quit 9 years ago (after trying to quit 5 times before). The tool I used was the gum. I have not touched/inhaled a cigarette in 9 years and I don't even crave to. :)
I smoke. Why can't non-smokers respect it. It's not easy to stop smoking.
I know a couple of people who smoke. I don't smoke because I don't see the benefit in it and I'm allergic to the smoke anyways. I don't quite understand why people start smoking or want to start smoking in the first place.When a person does something over and over again then it’s quite obvious that he’s betting something good from it. In case of smoking the person thinks that he is feeling good after he smokes. This feeling is in comparison to the feeling when he’s not smoking. This means smoking is looked upon as an activity to get rid of constant state of stress a person may have and feel good.
Did you guys ever try out electronic cigarettes. I tried out some, most were shit: little vapor, ugly look. Now I have discovered a new brand, which offers small sizes and have an astonishing performance. Now I am a dual user:-) At home/in the car I smoke them, outdoor still my loved tobacco
17 years of freedom from tobacco. I smoke cannabis. never a problem when I don't have any for months. It has made me healthy. No Alcohol for 9 years. I'm never sick anymore, never even a headache. Don't listen to the government or doctors they want you to die quickly when you retire. Doctors need an income and healthy people don't visit the doctor often.
Something this doesn't mention is that smoking tobacco gives the smoker more psychoactive substances than nicotine. Nicotine by itself is not physically addictive.
How can they stand there and say, "I believe nicotine is not addictive"...they're making idiots of smokers!
just smoke weed instead of tobacco easiest way to quit
Blame it on Humphrey Bogart...
I know smoking is harmful and all, and I dont see the point in partaking in the life shortening addiction of tobacco, but lets be realistic, smoking in a way can regulate the Earths booming population. Without smoking the death rate every year would certainly go down while the birth rate stays constant and the population growth would rise considerable, which is the last thing this earth can sustain...more people
