If you're a big drinker at least with these alternative things on the side instead of dying at 60-70 you might live longer.

Apricot Kernals are suppose to target deeper cancers. There is a blend of herbs to stop you from smoking, mother is currently using it, claims she can't smoke normal smokes anymore makes her feel sick, and now is almost off this stuff, I'll grab the name of it later. I actually forgot the name of the one that keeps the cancer cells at a low, I'll also grab that later. For weight Guarana promotes weight loss, Guarana is in energy drinks, but it's all the other stuff in energy drinks that is bad for you. Ginseng promotes muscle building, turning fat to muscle but you need to work out obviously to see any results, it also doubles as an energy supplement. There's quite a bit of it, Govco will say some of it is fake, but all in all, they don't make money from it so of course they do, but I seen Black Salve work, it has another name of Cancima I believe which Govco along with 3M hurried for it to be branded false. There's a couple more that I can't think of at the moment. But anyway back to the topic lol.

![]() however, when i first ate vegetables or meat, i didn't have any health reactions - except the taste buds didn't like them it seems most people cough when they have their first drag of a cigarette. surely that must give people an idea it is not safe. no amount of advertising should make anyone think different. it is no different to me going to calder and breathing in the tyre smoke. it cannot be good for me, no matter little attention quit give it |

By everyones reckoning the rate of cancer should be hitting about 50% of the population by now. When I was frequenting pubs and clubs as a young one you couldn't see the dance floor for smoke haze, your clothes stank and a ashtray was on every table.
I don't know how many exactly of my associates of the time have developed health issues but if anyones willing to give me a grant I'll do my best to find out. While I'm at it a study of the current day trends in designated smoking areas and what percentage of females are frequenting these sinful places will also be possible . Please forward any grant money to - Smokers anonyomous. com. net.au |

But as you said, there's a lot of good old proof out there but it's not widely publicized and if it is, is boo'd off stage. Quote:
Luckily for me I seen the effects and such and didn't touch it, removed myself from those who smoked it for a year and now we are good mates again but they all smoke and have bad habits lol.

Why not? I don't eat KFC? They sponsor the cricket. Should I stop watching cricket because KFC is foul (HAHA! Pun intended
![]() You can not honestly tell me that eating fat laden chicken is good for you, and yet the advertising is directed at everyone, especially youngin's to entice them to eat it. Is it really that different to what happened with tobacco sponsors? Hindsight is a wonderful thing and I am sure if they knew of the dangers of tobacco smoking back then, they would not have been allowed as sponsors. I find it interesting that everyone wants to blame the advertisers. I have educated my children on the health effects of certain things...smoking being one of them. I am sure in 20yrs time there will be an uproar about how fast food companies were once sporting team/event sponsors...

I'm not sure on how tobacco was processed back then, but if it was anything like the amount of chemicals used in the processing of tobacco now, they would have been well aware that smoking something with that many chemicals dumped on it would have health implications.

As it has been said many a time in this thread, advertising has no real bearing on what you choose to do in your life. Unless you proudly call yourself a sheep....
Im a dirty, filthy little heathen smoker. And advertising had loooong passed before I started. |

Out of curiosity I just had a look at wikipedia to see how much is actually spent on advertising: the figure there was $467 billion worldwide in 2010. This sort of money isn't spent for the fun of it. Advertisers know there will be a return on investment. It specialises in persuasion and the use of human pschology to influence consumer behaviour. Consumers are not always consciously aware either why they have chosen a certain brand or product. I would think that a fair old chunk of our lives here in the western world is influenced in some way shape or form by advertising, and we're kidding ourselves to think otherwise... That's not to say we don't have a measure of free will, of course we do. And each of us probably has things we are resistant to. But I guess an there is some level of probability that advertising will work on a certain number of individuals in a target group, and so the industry plays the percentage game, with pretty successful results by the look of it. I do see your point though in regards to your own smoking. If cigarette advertising was been banned in Australia long before you took it up, it wasn't an influence on you. Other factors would have come into play.
