Cigarettes in low price great but do you know? One thousand Americans stop smoking every day - by dying. So beware my friends.
roll your own cigarettes, 2 buck you can smoke for days. and girls will be impressed if you can roll a perfect one
I love the way that in the UK they have the "smoking is highly addictive, don't start" warnings on the back of the packets. Alas, I wish I could get cheap cigarettes.
Why Smoking Is Good 1. Increases concentration. 2. People often go with the general sentiment on things like these, most of what you hear is hogwash. Cases of cancer are linked with smoking, but it's not proof. Only 1 in 3 of us will get lung cancer. (By "us" I also include non smokers). 3. Smokers are a persecuted lot, since this habit has been banned from workplaces, restaurants, buses, subways and planes. You don't think they'd outlaw breathing for christ's sake. 4. Smokers have the only real community that's left in the workplace today. 5. Smokers suffer from less stress, since they actually take a few breaks per day. 6. That bruhaha about second hand smoking is a load of crap. it's just a phrase made up to get normal people who earlier didn't care about it, to go and further persecute the smokers. 7. It's cool to smoke. Ever seen a hacker or a real artist with a health shake? 8. Smokers support the economy by paying all those taxes, which *AHEM* some of us don't. 9. Warning: The Surgeon General fails to warn you that non-smokers die every day 10. Studies have shown that prolonged contact (as in several years) with second hand smoking can cause mild lung problems. Second hand smoke has no immediate harmful effects. 11. Actually, why not just ban non-smokers? 12. Too much is made of the 4000 chemicals that make up a cigarette. Several carcinogens found in cigarettes are found in peppers, carrots, strawberries, tomatoes, onions and grapefruit. 13. Believe it or not, nicotine is actually "a surprisingly potent drug for a variety of diseases that afflict the brain, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Tourette’s syndrome." (An image makeover for nicotine: It shows promise against brain diseases, HealthCentral.com - Feb. 21, 2000) Smokers have a 60% lower risk of Parkinson's disease 14. Nicotine has a positive effect on ulcerative colitis, which is an inflammation of the stomach lining, and this disorder affects nonsmokers more than smokers. 15. Smokers actually recovered better from a heart attack than nonsmokers 16. Smoking was found to reduce the risk of estrogen-dependent endometrial cancer (dunno what that means, it just sounds really cool) 17. Schizophrenics (4 million Americans) who smoke can get enough nicotine stimulation to switch on a brain receptor that helps filter information. 18. Stanford researchers have discovered that low doses of nicotine - a major component of cigarette smoke - appear to promote new blood vessel growth (in mice). (“Nicotine to be used to treat heart disease,†Reuters Health, HealthCentral.com - Sept. 2000) 19. Alcohol is even more harmful than smoking. Yet not much is said against it as compared to smoking. Half a bottle of wine can supply you with 32-40 times the amount of lead a whole pack of smokes can give you. 20.
