Being An Addict

Cigarettes came into being back in
the 1600's when beggars would pick
up cigar butts,shred the tobacco and
use scraps of paper to roll and smoke.

Thus was borne what we call today
a smoke.

Cigarettes are designed as an
instantaneous nicotine delivery system
that hits your brain in seconds thus 
causing you to crave it all the more.

People who smoke act compulsive
because nicotine is a drug.
I personally know how addictive 
smoking is and Ive been trying to quit
for good but its not happening because
i was a heavy smoker at one point and
because of that Im unlikely to kick it.

James Bonsack invented the first
cigarette machine in 1881 and could
produce 120,000 cigs per day.

Filtered or unfiltered really doesnt 
matter because of the negative health 
risks associated with smoking.

Most smokers continue to smoke
even in the face of cancer and
emphysema,some just smoke to the end.

My dear friend Miss Bobbie was diagnosed
with emphysema and smoked to the 
very end which was 7 years.
She did vigorously attempt to quit
but finally threw in the towel because
it was too late in the game for her.

Lights are no safer and natural tobaccos
are no better either.
There is no such thing as a safe cigarette.

Vaping is not safer either.....just dont start.

Cigarette butts have a cocktail of toxins
that when discarded it becomes bad for 
the environment...

I started when I was 11 years old and 
ive quit numerous times for varying
leangths only to get sucked into it again.

I wish I never started.
