OMG!

Looking at all those ingredients in the Nicotine Sticks in the cold hard light of day - I am shocked and horrified even more than I already was!!! The truth sets me free!

Thank heavens for Freedom!

Cocoa, Vanilla Extract, Almond Bitters and hundreds more make up a cigarette, most added by the manufacturer to make it taste better. Can't imagine what it would taste like without all of that stuff.

I saw this on a tobacco company website - "Smoking is addictive and dangerous".

Wow, that's some party piece...I'm so glad I've quit.

Also take a look at what I found on a tobacco site:

Virtually all U.S. cigarettes include common flavors such as cocoa, sugar, licorice and fruit- and mint-based derivatives.

Just coincidence? I think not.

I saw where a member wrote that sometimes when a person is too ill they are too distracted to think about cigarettes. This may be a true statement for an ex-smoker, but not so likely to be true for an active smoker. I am going to kick up a few posts that make this point clear.

Whew! This so clearly shows that cigarettes are one of the most deadly of the addictive drugs on earth. This is the lowest point a person can go with cigarettes.

Thank goodness for this site and Joel. Thank you for bringing it home why we can never ever take another puff.

Two months this Thursday after 42 years of addiction.

Flavor?

The tobacco industry spends billions in order to condition society to believe that smokers smoke because the mini toxic waste dump present in every burning cigarette (43 carcinogins, more than 500 gases and over 3,500 chemical particles) pleases human tastebuds.

Why are the more than 500 flavor additives been...

I am one of the few that still loves the smell, but my brain now kicks in right away and reminds me that the aroma was created to entice me.

I saw where a question was posed at just how addictive cigarettes can actually be. I think this article captures the essence of the issue.

The picture above brought something crashing home to me. 2 things actually. My dad would have done this; he died of thyroid cancer last year, and he was a smoker, and he had a tracheostomy. Yet he would have carried on.

The other thing I realised is that my grief process is nowhere near the end, but the legacy that my dad has left me is to never take another puff. I won't; and I'm going to try to steer my brother...

Just reading or hearing the truth is no guarantee that a person is going to believe or continue to believe the truth. It's amazing what lengths people will go through to continue to smoke and what kind of losses will continue to mount--eventually resulting in the total loss of health and possibly even life all because some people will not accept the premise that to stay smoke free they must never take another puff!
