Re: There must be something good about cigarettes
Nicotine is harmless.

Nicotine increases brain activity and aids in clarity of thought. I causes more synapses to fire quicker.

It has also been shown (not studied enough because no-one will fund it) to reduce plaque build-up in the brain, which is suspected to be one of the main causes of Alzheimer's.

The professions that have the highest rate of smokers do lots of cerebral tasks (programmers, warehouse logistics, stock analysts, etc). In the early 2000's (don't know about more recently) the profession with the highest rate of smokers was Air Traffic Controllers.

I suspect small doses of nicotine from a young age (like a cup of coffee) would make us all smarter.

Re: There must be something good about cigarettes
Why else would the government want you off them. It’s not like the government loves you

Something to do with blood or do cigarettes protect you in some way hmm
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80359482


Here is my argument, see if it makes sense to you.

They drill into our kids heads that smoking is extremely dangerous, and we know statistically that smokers die an average of 2 years sooner than non smokers.

On average. Many smokers live to be over 100.

HOWEVER, though they teach them it is alright to be "gay", they DO NOT teach the children the specific dangerous of that activity, or that 1 in 5 homosexuals carry a deadly virus they can catch, or that the incidence of STD's and hepatitis is extremely high in this group.

If they cared about them they would certainly warn them. We warned our kids about f*gs even before there was AIDs.



ALSO, when they decided to try to vax the kids, the kids who are unaffected by the virus, it became obvious to me that their intent was to harm them.


So what does smoking do that they hate?

Ever see a smoker that likes or trusts the government?

"Follows the rules"?

Me either.

By their basic nature they do not.

When tobacco smoke is inhaled, the nicotine passes quickly to every organ of the body. The brain and nervous system are stimulated by small doses and depressed by larger ones

No. You remember when it was prohibited to show smoking on the movie screen? Not anymore! Netflix and Prime vids are full of smoking.

Also "a small amount is good" theory is wrong. Consider, tobacco is the most addictive substances of all.

All good guesses but you need to slow down and read it again. It does not have anything to do with filter, nicotine, kids, habit-forming...nope. They want to remove 'menthol' cigarettes from the shelves. Now that were a=on the same page, conduct a google search and review the properties of menthol. Seems that this gets in the way of saturation, which is not good for them but a plus for us. Went to CVS and grabbed a big bag of menthol cough drops yesterday as soon as I read the article. Stay alert.

Re: There must be something good about cigarettes
Research going back decades, much of it buried, seems to indicate smoking <1 natural cigarette per day or more likely 2-3 per week seems to be healthier than not smoking. It has to do with nicotine and lung conditioning in warding off certain life threatening diseases.

As far as it's relationship to "Covid" and the gene therapy clotshot, not sure...but the media and medicine are demonizing smoking like never before...

What gives? We know they cannot be trusted.

I meant to say June of 2020. That is almost 18 months and I haven't varied from 2-3 per week. In fact, I just took this last week off because I ran out last Monday and forgot about smoking until I saw this thread.

Going to get a pack now.

Re: There must be something good about cigarettes
Leave the cigarette part off, tobacco has some good properties, it is mixed with some other products, like oil or dish detergent to stay on plants can kill insects. It is good for other things in the body like worms, this would have to be done in combination with other things, too much can kill you. It has other properties that need studying not just for medicine which could save the tobacco industry. You don't throw the baby out with bathwater. They just don't seem to understand the properties of natural products.

Smokers are the victims of the conspiracy.

Cigarette Smoking IS THE CONSPIRACY!!!

INDIVIDUALS ARE ENTICED TO SMOKE THROUGH ADVERTISING.

They become addicted and as a result generate tax revenue for governments and profits for the companies.

Smoking is sold to governments by companies as reducing their social responsibilities since smokers die younger!

Re: There must be something good about cigarettes
I stopped having upper respiratory infections of various sorts when I started smoking.

It felt good not to have to endure colds, flues, strep throat, sinus infections, and sinus headaches for once in my life.

I don't enjoy smoking very much, but I find I do enjoy the company of other smokers in outdoor places, and the breaks in my activity, which can tend to be so absorbing that I would otherwise forget to take a break.

I find when I am smoking, I remember things I was forgetting to do, and I have the most creative ideas about what I am doing, or will do next.

On the whole - I love it.
