That's GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are additives in just about everything,that argument won't do it.
I don't know about you but when I engage in BBQ's, driving or lighting candles etc. I actually try to avoid the smoke produced thereby. When people finally got out of the stone age one of the developments was the chimney, an attempt to avoid the smoke of necessary fires. It seems that all smoke contains very fine particulates that irritate the lung, eyes etc. Many products, when burned, produce smoke laden with harmful substances. If you choose to inhale these, that's your choice but railing against the facts doesn't change them.
"There are additives in just about everything,that argument won't do it."
When you say everything, I have to make an assumption you mean food and drink becuase that is really the only equivalent to inhaling...so far as ingesting additives.
The difference between smoke and food/drink is the FDA requires food additives to be labled so I can tell what I'm eating.
Cigs don't do that so you/I don't know what you/we are inhaling at a given drag.
Be intersting to see if FDA control of the tobacco industry requires cigarettes be labeled for contents.
I'm a grandmother who went to an elementary school production last night and I smoke.
My mother,who lived to age 91 didn't even KNOW she had children or grandchildren for the last 6 years of her life. She was a non-smoker.
If I go earlier because of smoking,so be it!I like to smoke,period.
The guy that invented the Power Bar,a good athlete and a non-smoker,dropped dead of a heart attack a few months back.Were Power Bars responsible?
