Is it the job of phillip morris to remove nicotine from tobacco, on your behalf ?



many real cigarette tobaccos(that involve the rolling of your own cigarette) have nothing extracted

I vote that we, as Americans, stand up and demand protection!

I want protection from fatty foods
I want protection from high cholesterol
I want protection from alcohol
I want protection from cigarettes
I want protection from falling down
I want protection from making a stupid choice
I want protection from AIDS
I want protection from death
I want protection from cocaine
I want protection from driving to fast and hitting something
I want protection from buying raw chicken and not cooking it

The fact is, we are intelligent beings, and we can make our own choices. The more we let the government decide what is safe for us, the less freedom we have. You may prefer living safely in slavery, but I would prefer dying free.

before you start spazzing out about tobacco based nicotine being added to tobacco you may want to look at all the additives in FOOD ...

have you noticed the HUGE increase in
  • Diabetes
  • hearth issues
  • obesity
here is the REAL STUPIDITY of it ....

You have been played by the system (just like a little tic tac toe game)

You blind monkey's raise holy havoc about a persons choice BECAUSE OF CANCER ... oooo!

Yet you sit there and pick your nose like a clueless kid when it comes to OTHER THINGS that cause cancer.

... like some of the medicines the system has approved for your use.
I am sure you at least have a clue to what rheumatoid arthritis is - right?
SWOLLEN JOINTS ....

Tell me seriously ... are SWOLLEN JOINTS worth the risk of various forms of cancer??
SERIOUSLY!
to me ... it's not! Yet the system allows Humira to be sold for arthritis and on one of their commercials it clearly STATED that known side effects were various forms of cancer
So - let me get this straight ...
you want to control a persons choice to or not to get cancer with cigarettes and want to tell people to kiss off when it comes to OTHER things that cause cancer?
Isn't that sort of like telling a kid to wear a seat belt in a car to save his life in the event of an accident

... but don't say a word when they are in a jeep 4x4 in the woods?
What about OTHER ADDITIVES??
like the junk they put in food which is the likely cause of diabetes -- which UNLIKE many types of cancer is NOT CURABLE!

Isn't that a little hypocritical? ... seriously!

I remember a study that was done years ago on drinking water having cancer containing agents ...
if the water can get ya ... why worry about ANYTHING else?

I agree it is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

I don't get how anybody can get addicted to Cigarettes! I smoke when I want one not because I have to have one. It is the anti-smokers that are spawning more smokers.

You are right. In school we had an anti smoke campaign and after that half of the class started smoking.

You think by now the busy bodies would realise that the 'just say no' campaigns make drugs 'cool'. But alas, they still think they can change the world, with just a few more hard working peoples' tax dollars. Such a shame.

I second that. Only the weak and feeble minded need the government holding their hand. I prefer liberty.

Don't they? The idiots. It's like the old adage says, "You can't have your cake and eat it too!" So is life.
