Hop onto youtube or cnn.com. He does a lot of exposes so there should be a lot of visual info for you.

I have been reading everything I can on this forum for almost 2 months now, and that is THE first time I have seen someone use slashies.

I have used them a few times myself now, I think, even though I didn't know if it was cool on this forum, or if anyone else here had ever even seen them before.

/I heart slashies

slashies new thing for me!
A new word for me.
Now i have kept it in my mind.
I have been on this forum for about 1 week, and i think it is magic.
I make many friends here

Now, I hadn't heard that before...BUT....I know 2 things
1. I'm addicted to nicotine
2. My dopamine levels have been screwed up for years and I have to be VERY careful to keep it balanced!

And, an observation: Since I started with the e-cigs, I know I've been using more nicotine because I don't have to go freeze my butt off to smoke. And, my depression has lessened. That could very well be the dopamine connection. Worthy of research.

Nicotine lessens symptoms of depression in nonsmokers

Also note that Zyban/Wellbutrin and more so Chantix mess with the receptors that trigger dopamine release/uptake.

He chewed his gum during the campaign. I think in one instance when it was brought up, he even pulled his gum out and offered it to anyone who might need it...

Presidents can smoke... but there is a no-smoking rule in the White House.

I seem to find something bizarre in the idea that the President of a country.....has to follow a ban on smoking in his home......wow these anti smokers have got power.
