Humbug!
 |
| We all go to the same end |
In the most forceful manner I repeat Humbug!
Yes, Humbug I say, Humbug!
I was reading in a post written by a fervent
anti-tobacco megalomaniac who simply stated
that his greatest wish was that every smoker
be given full access to as much tobacco as he or she could tolerate and that they smoke themselves to death as quickly as possible. This would rid the earth of the scourge of the foul smelling creatures that spread their filthy habit throughout humanity.
Humbug!
I will not waste words commenting on a mind that is fixated on selective genocide
except to say that later in his passage he pronounced the inclusion of vapors and
SNUS spitters in his category of less than human tobacco consumers. His picture
put him in his late 50's or possibly early 60's. He also commented that he had
smoked for 20 years and one day just put them down. I congratulate him for
that capability. He is one of a very few that can shed nicotine addiction so easily.
I also congratulate him for being one of the many smokers who I modeled after
to start smoking. In the late 60's tobacco was beginning to be seen as a public
health issue. Availability and acceptance were universal. I smoked in my college
classes, in cinemas, in grocery stores, in hospital waiting rooms,and airplanes.
Slowly there was a limited effort to curtail use that spiraled when Big Tobacco
and other consortiums started to react and produced low tar and nicotine products.
Still the people who were using tobacco quit every New Year's day for several
hours or quit for weeks or months to only find they had added 20 pounds and
were still craving tobacco. Big Pharma to the rescue with gums, lozenges and
inhalers. Success rates minimal.

Then the medications Champix and Wellbutrin. They will get their page later.
In the middle of the last decade a device called the e-cigarette emerged.
Nicotine in a solution heated by a coil and gradually millions of people
throughout the earth found this a way to decrease or stop tobacco burning
as a means of smoking cessation. Now my expert friend and his factions
want to equate e-cigarettes with smoking.
Humbug!
There only common ground is nicotine and a white exhale after inhalation. But
more about that later.
So factions are trying to ban e-cigarettes from the semi-moronic stance that they
both emit white stuff.
I am a list maker by habit and it seems that I must try to find a reason to stop
the dreaded vaping; Here is my top ten list, maybe it'll help me stop a
non-burning act of getting nicotine and I can start cigarettes and the 60
carcinogens (nicotine not one) of them, and 4000 other chemicals. Vaping
is nicotine and a vegetable glycerin or PG vehicle which is touted by Boston
University to be 99% safer than cigarettes.:
Top 10 Reasons Not to Vape
1. They don't fit behind your ear for that cool 50's
look.
2. You can't use. "can I bum a light", as a pick-up
line at a bar.
3. You can't flick them out the car window at night
and see those cool trails.
4. They may cause you to get up late because you
don't wake up hacking up a lung.
5. They don't give you that manly smell to your
clothes.
6. You don't get to carry those really cool Jeff Gordon
lighters.
7. You can't use the excuse that you are too short
winded to help your neighbour move.
8. You don't get Marlboro coupons to trade for that
really neat Marlboro Jacket.
9. They don't burn holes in your clothes so you can't
use that as as excuse for a shopping spree.
10. They are not FDA approved.
Humbug- it didn't work. Guess I'll have to try something
else..... more to come.
