Let me be more specific, I do not agree with smoking anything other than pure tobacco. That leaves out most commercial cigs. They contain things that no sane person wants in their lungs, formaldehyde, bleach and worst of all for many reasons ammonia.
The AMA's last study showed that people like myself, who smoke as a hobby or casually, actually live longer on average than non smokers. No shit.
Think about this, what I mentioned earlier, the nations with the highest, per capita, percentage of smokers also have some of the lowest numbers of lung cancer instances.
Now that smoking is down over seventy percent in the US and Europe lung cancer is up...
Lung cancer is an old person's disease, it is a symptom of asphalt, of car exhaust, of nuclear testing in the atmosphere and our "fabulous" chemical living... not natural tobacco used sensibly. People are living longer, particularly Northern European people, who get lung cancer when they get older. It has nothing to do with smoking.
I believe, and science backs me, that a nice cigar, organic non-additive cig or pipe is no worse for me than a nice grilled steak or salmon fillet from time to time... & that is common sense.
But, we/I am OT.. the point was that the two organizations, American Lung Association and American Cancer Society, have been knowingly lying to America as propaganda for many years... that is all.
