Hello.
Recently I have heard that smoking cigarettes has many benefits to the human body. Off course I dismissed it as nonsense but when i checked it out on the web i encountered numerous sites that claim exactly that. see here: http://www.forces.org/evidence/evid/therap.htm So, i wanted your opinion. Is smoking good for you?! And if all the research that claims smoking is BAD is another conspiracy then why? |

I heard once that people that smoke react less well to mindcontrol.

Smoking cigarettes is in no way good for you. Any info you find that says otherwise is probably paid for and planted by big tobacco companies.

So, I go back to my question,
If Smoking IS bad For you as we are tought over and over again. Why the governments of the world declared a war on smoking if they seem to profit so much from it? |

i think it would be beneficial to differentiate between store-bought 20 cigs/pack and pure tobacco in non-rolled form.
i know if your schizin' out a good dose of nicotine will calm u down and helps to "ground" an individual. perhaps it would be a good idea to look into why native americans used tobacco for purposes of ceremony vs. the robotic way in which many people now consume store-bought cigarettes like zombies. is the zombie consumption consciousness to be partially blamed for sickness aside from the detrimental effects of smoking cigarettes? |

Er - no!!! I have COPD from mercury poisoning as a child - I've only just found this out! Pinks Disease is due to mercury in teething powders in the late 40's/early 50's. I almost died.
However - the multiple vaccinations babies are now/or have been having lately contained mercury 'preservatives' - hence lots of autism, and very disturbed children. It's best NOT to smoke if possible, but if you're ill with some nerve generative disease, a little oral 'medication' - not necessarily smoked - will probably be beneficial. In years gone by, before the FDA 'Big Brother' clampdown, natural remedies included hemp oil - which eliminated cancers et al. The Big Pharma can't patent these things for profit, so hence the clampdowns... Just like Monsanto and the senator wife of Monsanto 'clamping down' on organic farming/growing your own... a human right. How sad does it get before WE ALL WAKE UP? |

I think smoking is a sign of low intelligence... sorry if anyone here is a smoker.
I dont even want to be friends with people who smoke I find it that repulsive. I cant believe so many people still smoke... what do they get out of it?? They look like fools, smell rancid, and waste alot of money and time which is even more precious. Maybe I could understand if they were chocolate flavoured or something but they taste like ASS. Slow-motion SUICIDE is all it is. Last edited by Luminari; 04-17-2009 at 12:09 AM. |

Ha! Sagan wasted all that time supposedly looking for alien life in the distant stars when they were here visiting the whole time, he could have gone into his backyard with a pair of binoculars and an open mind.. at the right time of course.
A great example of how a university education can make you less intelligent. Ive read 'Cosmos' and watched his videos, I do have some respect for the guy, don't get me wrong. Last edited by Luminari; 04-17-2009 at 02:02 AM. |

Kathleen you are obviously a smoker then.
![]() Do not be offended, I never said it was a 'fact' but it is 'my truth' based on the premise that anyone inhaling deadly gas into their body can't be that intelligent. Maybe I should have said 'Wise' instead (or am I digging a bigger hole here). OK SMOKERS YOU WIN, YOU ARE GENIUS'S LIKE EINSTEIN, FEEL BETTER NOW? I hope you can get past my aversion to smokers and still be cyber-mates

Yes... your posts are very clear, on que. I was just curious why you were so outspoken about it and what 'chord' it struck; an ex-smoker yourself perhaps. |

here's a shorted list with stuff found in a cigarette from the brand "Natural American Spirit" ( by using a Hulda Clark syncrometer):
Cadmium, Clorex, Arsenic, Retenone, Mercury, Platinum, Benzene, Nickel , Copper, Patulin, Aflatoxin, Dysprosium, Thulium, Malonic Acid. If your body can't get rid of these toxics, obviously your body will get very sick in the long run. Cancers are caused by a parasite and they like to settle in places like smokers lungs, so if you don't get rid of the parasites there's a big chance of getting cancer (according to Hulda Clark). Use a Hulda Clark Zapper, Rife machine or MMS to kill the buggers and get rid of toxins in your body and you'll be fine.. |
