turning point in my thinking

[erinspeed]

I'm thirty two days smoke free:

Us smokers know what an issue it is to be out of cigarettes. I have had a "security blanket" of a pack of unopened smokes sitting on a shelf.

Well... They just left. Out the door. Gone. No training wheels. No net.

I'm all alone without my pack of cigs. They have been my constant companion for years, and now...
...
HAPPY DANCE!!

SCREW YOU, BIG tobacco! SCREW YOU, SIN TAXES! YOU GET NO MORE MONEY! (flipping one middle finger at Jefferson City and the other at Washington)

One last thing.
R.J. Reynolds, you have taken enough from me. I'm never going to get back all that you have stolen from me. I have a special sentiment for you that simply is not appropriate for this forum. Just this: Evil .......s
put chemicals in their products to addict their customers. Evil .......s.

Good for you! I kept my "security blanket" in the freezer for about 6 months before I finally chucked it. Very freeing isn't it?

Well said Erinspeed. I suspect that there will be a special place in hell for all those big tobacco execs that made the decision to make cigarettes as addictive as possible, and in doing so killing or maiming millions of people worldwide - all so that they could line their greedy little pockets.

I completely agree about the addiction thing. The pure form of nicotine in e-cigs is nowhere near as addicting as all the other rubbish that are in tobacco cigarettes. I can go hours and hours without using my e-cig and I barely think about it. But when I was smoking I would panic if I had to go a long time without. Big Tobacco is evil, we all know that. Big Pharma is equally as evil, maybe more so because they only pretend to promote health. The reality is that they promote sickness and misery. The sicker people are, the more money that big pharma makes. It's as simple as that.

They should be doing time with the other drug dealers.

We would have no government if that was the case. More than 1/2 of D.C. would be right in there with them as they are often bed mates.
