I will have to try that Farmers market next week.
Also, why is nicotine not already controlled by the FDA? It’s a drug and you would think it would be there already, expect for powerful lobbying to keep the government away.

People who smoke always complain about rules telling them when and where they can smoke citing freedom. I see if from the other angle. I’m not cigarettes because they kill people; I’m against them because the people who smoke them run around and litter the air indiscriminately, damaging me directly. Same as running around with a big uranium rock in your pocket . You aren’t just killing yourself, you are inflicting injury to me as well.
The argument “nobody is forcing you” argument is bs when they are standing outside the door of buildings I need to enter.

Has there been any connection proven between second hand smoke and any sort of negative health effects?
ReplyDeleteEither Yes, or it’s damn good propaganda.
ReplyDeleteThere have been studies that show it causes no damage… I read them in college
ReplyDeleteYay propaganda machines!
ReplyDeleteAccording to cancer.gov
ReplyDelete“The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP), the U.S. Surgeon General, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have classified secondhand smoke as a known human carcinogen (cancer-causing agent)”
I didn’t think that part was under debate. I guess to me, it would be the amount and length of exposure, that would determine if second hand smoke was a health concern. Since smoke disperses quite a bit in the open, its less of a problem. If you think about it, everything causes cancer, eh?
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it’s going to take the tobacco companies to try and sell their products as supplements… I don’t they are regulated by the FDA.
ReplyDeleteYou can’t just sell anything as a supplement. Also, I think if you fall into another category you’re hosed on the supplement classification.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know the rules either but they sell a lot of supplements in the form of diet pills… I’m not sure if it cigarettes or tobacco that act like an apatite suppressant.
ReplyDeleteThey have found that cigarettes can curb alzheimer's. Maybe they could start marketing them as a treatment or cure. J

Maybe we can just kill smokers outright and turn them into dogfood.
