One More Reason To Quit!

[GattaFish]

BBJ... You are right... Some of the guys I was with in the Middle East were buying cigarettes for $13.50 U.S. a CARTON just the Last week.

A mere fraction of what they cost in the states. So some huge tax revenue for the state and local govts for sure.

Have a buddy hit the PX.
They're still cheap.

that's right... nicotinic acid is sprayed on cotton to kill the cotton boweeval
(Sorry forgot how to spell it) because that's the only
chemical strong enough that would actually kill them.

tobacco straight off the plant isn't so bad...
sure it still has nicotine contained in it...

but it's all the other chemicals they add
that causes more problems.

like the tiny blue rings on the cigarette paper
to make them burn uniformally for example.

one way to quit is to see how long
you can make one cigarette last..

that's lighting it just long enough to feel satisfied
then putting it out... there by reducing your
need or dependence for nicotine very slowly
until your down to one a day... and so on.
