Clevfan4life Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Here's a cool story for us all. Nicotine isn't the boogeyman. It's the 799 other chemicals that big tobacco formulated into the cigarettes to make them more addictive. Which is why most people can have a cigar or pipe and not immediately want another one. But #capitalism meant that big companies "just had" to figure out a way to make tobacco like crack cause #capitalism. In Japan they put nicotine in energy drinks because it's a better stimulant than caffeine. It doesn't agitate ur heart and theres no crash like from caffeine. Our brand of capitslism has really kind of deprived us of some good shit. Lije in south America tgey give cocoa leaves soaked in lemon or lime to tourists going up tall mountains to help them combat altitude sickness. And we all know what they're getting from the cocoa leaves right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS Good for you. My father quit after about 50+ years, but died of a heart attack anyway just a few years after he quit. I'm lucky I never got interested and in casinos I move away from smokers. Just can't stand the smell. Fortunately Winstar has an excellent ventilation system as well as one isolated end of the casino that has most of the slots of the other areas in a totally smoke free room that requires going up a hallway with two isolating sets of door. Great idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 When I was a young kid about the third grade, my cousin and I went out one afternoon, hiked over to this old guy's orchard, climbed an apple tree, and were eating apples. He brought a Winston pack, with one last cig in it, he stole from his parents, and lit it. He was trying to learn to smoke, and I took a big puff on it, and gagged. Gave it back to him, he gagged and coughed, and then the old guy, looked like Jimmy Durante, came down the row yelling that he was going to call the police and have us arrested, so we jumped down, took off running. Got to the street, and I said I was never smoking again, that crap is awful. Never smoked again in my life. But we did sneak back out at night once or twice, to get a few apples again, but then never back. Man, that old guy had a bright flashlight.
