It's almost unbelievable but sadly it's far from it.

 

Did you watch the documentary "The Death In The West"?  That is probably one of my favorite ones.

[natalie_3]

No I haven´t watched it, I will!

Phillip Morris is nothing but EVIL.

 

Nicotine in tobacco products can be found in a free-base or protonated (“salt”) form, depending on the pH of the product. In internal tobacco industry documents, nicotine form has been long recognized as central to the sensory experience of tobacco use, particularly in what is known as “impact”1. In the 1960s, Philip Morris began manipulating the ratio of free-base to protonated nicotine in cigarette smoke, a factor that is described as key to the ascension of the Marlboro brand to the status of the world’s top-selling cigarette1.

Marlboro was an obscure brand marketed for ladies in the 40's and 50's and exploded into the #1 brand practically overnight when they basically freebased the nicotine and made it like 'crack nicotine' to enhance the addiction.   It took a few years for most other brands to figure it out but by then PM and Marlboro left them all eating dust.

I just find it amazing how the CEO's front teeth are all rotten, what a real pleasure it must be for his wife to kiss him. Also I cannot believe the statement," The best way to avoid death is not to be born". Are you kidding me. Wow shallow people. Great documentary.

Hi guys today has been tough for me I am 5 months quit. Didn’t really think about smoking again for months on end  then today a weird craving came on me for no reason  I had my appointment with my  stop smoking clinic I got some nicotine gum  and it’s made me ill  I don’t want to

go back smoking  but the gum is my only option as I haven’t smoked

in 5 months after 10 years smoking I didn’t want to relapse I just wonderd what’s in the gum I feel rotten please some advice

[jillar]

Welcome to quittrain @Dane, the nicotine gum has nicotine in it. The same chemical we are addicted too so if you've been nicotine free for five months then you are taking a step back. The crave will pass and you will get through it if you believe in yourself that you can. I used an air cigarette when the craves got bad for me. I just pretended I was holding a cigarette in my fingers and then went through the motions of "smoking" it. It worked great at tricking my mind into thinking it was getting the real thing. You can also do stuff that you never smoked while doing like taking a long hot bath or even just going to bed early, whatever works you can do it!

[Dane]

Thanks I was unsure about the gum I’ve had one piece will throw it away now then if only people explained these things when giving  it To you sometimes the meantle

addiction is the worse part
