Tobacco is a holy medicine to Indians.
Everybody knows about the peace pipe.
In south America the Indian shamans use other kind of tobacco in there ritual.
There is tobacco drinking, smoking,sniffing,chewing.
Most shamans use tobacco in one way or the other.

Lately scientist began looking at tobacco for a cheap cure for cancer.

It was a mixture of plants if I am correct.
But that's not the point.
The point I am trying to bring across is that to a lot of the American Indians tobacco was considered
a medicine.
he wild tobacco is not the same tobacco they put into cigarettes.
I am a non smoker myself. Only on rare occasions do I smoke. :weedman:

GOD a dit:
so is life... deadly
While the addatives are really a bad thing, I personally don't give a crap about all the bad things they say about tobacco generally. I smoke for 20 years now and I do not intend to stop. Why? Because I like smoking it. I don't need any apologies. I don't want to be treated like a criminal and I don't want to hear all the crap about cancer.
I don't fear death. And how death comes about, I don't care either. More people die due to cars, religion, economics and a whole load of other shit. I smoke, because I choose to.
Tolerance!
I have some questions for the forum smokers:
- How long will you do it?
- It's a fact nicotine is literally poison, why you keep puffing?
the thing with cigarettes is that it's so easy, it's too easy, you can buy them everywhere and smoke them on the fly, it's the quickest and easiest way of activating your psyche... I take a few puffs when I miss joints and there's no way of getting one... but I have to take KOOL lights because others are too strong and make me nauseous..

???????? a dit:
I will keep doing it until I see a reason to really care more about my health. If I get kids for example, then I would stop.
Nicotine is not at all the problem in cigarettes. Yes, it is poison and the amount in a single cigarette is enough to kill a grown man. but it is so fast processed, that you will never come to the point where it would kill you.
The real killer in cigs are all the other substances. the byproducts from burning it and so on.
I personally roll my own. and i cure the tobacco before I use it. its much cleaner and "healthier" then the tobacco in filter cigs. and I am also consuming much less. and save money.

I do occasionally. I find it relaxing. A lot of people would say some of the other things I consume are more dangerous, although, to be fair - cigarettes and alcohol are the worst, the other drugs just don't have as good PR.
It is relaxing. I find it hard to relax for various reasons. It's also, strangely, mildly stimulating at the same time.
I would be a full time smoker if it wasn't so expensive but more than that, it loses it's effect.
MacDonalds are pretty much poison too. I would feel guilty accept I am quite literally spending my life.
Trading it for things I enjoy - sure, if I didn't trade those hours and minutes for things I liked I would have more minutes but they would be minutes spent doing something I did not like so much, at least, at the time of spending.

GOD a dit:
not at all. there is no justification. and i don't see it as a weakness either.
it is my personal choice. whatever shit is your opinion, don't try to rub it under my nose. I am well aware of what i am doing.
as mentioned before, i know the facts of health risk, but i choose to give a shit. just as much, as i do when crossing a street or taking a ride on a bike or eating something really unhealthy.

GOD a dit:
Personally i think i really do like to see some people die, yet i don't think they should be forced to die. They need to be explained why it is better for the world if they die. And then they need to feel the wish to die. After they can decide whether they want to live or not and be granted to go on with their lives, but only if they change their attitude towards other people or the world in general.

most people try to survive up to a certain point at which they don't care anymore until they start to wish to die.
we all do. no need for pressure in any direction. no need for fear.
i think people are worried to much about dying today, that they forget to live.

Tobacco is not underestimated. Everyone knows or thinks he knows about the danger of tobacco. But it brings so much money to the state without changing people's perception that there is no reason to ban it.
Thanks to medical progress, people can live longer, wich means they stop working more or less at the same age, and then live more time receiving money from the state. With tobacco they give the state more money, and die so early that the state has nothing to give back to them.
Hope I got myself understood, my english is bad :/
