Do you smoke?

And when I talk about smoking, I mean weed, hash, tobacco, whatever. I do and quite frankly I don't regret getting into it. Getting high is great and cigarettes well, those are pretty good as well. Do you? why or why not?

  • I use Snus, the Sweedish stuff. Before you say things, look it up. It's up to 99% safer than Cigarettes literally, Smokeless Tobacco is WAY less harmful than smoking. And the chance of it causing cancer is highly unlikely, I love how they show you this random baseball player or teenager, and tell you the horror stories of smokeless tobacco. If you look it up, you'd see your risk is very very very low. Even chew that the rednecks do is nothing compared to smoking. 1. “This product can cause mouth cancer.” This warning was mandated in 1986, five years after Dr. Deborah Winn egregiously misinformed Americans about the magnitude and scope of mouth cancer risk from smokeless tobacco (discussed previously in this blog here and here). This warning is highly misleading. Contemporary American and Swedish smokeless products confer vanishingly small risk for mouth cancer. Now that the FDA has been given authority over the warnings, I hope the agency will provide comprehensive information about all health risks, as I did in this blog (here and here). 3. “This product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes.” The purpose of this 1986 warning was to deceive smokers into believing that smokeless tobacco was just as dangerous as smoking. As I wrote in my 1995 book, For Smokers Only: How Smokeless Tobacco Can Save Your Life (link), this warning “is simply ludicrous…Not even potato chips or nature hikes are ‘safe.’ If we look at ‘safe’ to mean relatively safe or ‘safer,’ something the government warnings inanely avoid here, then use of smokeless tobacco products is far safer than cigarette smoking.” Now, I shouldn't be hearing any crap from you guys ;)
