I smok...Yea, these things really are coffin nails. I smoked for 35 years and smoked Newports (ports) the last 10. Had a black buddy who, whenever he wanted to bum a smake would walk up to me and say "gimme one of those negro cigarettes."<br /><br />Cigarette smoking is the worse addiction there is. I've quit a lot of things and cigs were the absolute hardest thing to conquer.<br />My wife said that if I ever start again, she'd divorce me if I quit cause she aint puttin up with that again.SagaciousHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511441325695460501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-41038481009315706912010-03-28T09:00:57.570-07:002010-03-28T09:00:57.570-07:00It's a start.

The problem is that the cigarette industry is such a huge money maker.<br />My thoughts are that cigarette smoking should not be so glamourized in the media. It really should be outlawed entirely. If a person wants to smoke, they would be better off smoking the pure unadulterated tobacco leaf without all the added chemicals. the chemicals are what causes the cancers. Perhaps if they showed images of the emphesema patients and their sufferings as well as the mouth and throat cancers caused by cigarettes,it would definitely deter some from burning their lungs and airways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
