It might sound like wonk work on paper, but the right mixture of keyword searches can produce some eye-opening, lung-crushing laughs. Or is that cries? You decide.

I am soooo glad I stoped smoking some 7 years ago. It was the third time around - but the last - thank God!'

First time I was smoking Marlborough and I quit "cold turkey" only to start again after about 9 months.
Second time again - Marlborough - ALMOST 1 year.

Third time I really had a hard time. Some 25 years later I found it increasingly difficult to even cut back to my 1pack/ day had I increased my daily intake even just for one day, due to stress or otherwise. Then I read about all the additives in US cigarets - taste enhancers (found also in food and makes you want more), perservatives, fungicides, pesticides (Furodan is one of them), coulorants, smell enhancers ....... I switched to some Greek brand - virually additive free, short of the pesticides and fungicides and presto!! After a few month on those stinking cigs I could quit!

Still wonder who is playing with your head or man/womanhood?

Thing is they kill animals so they can find the best way to kill more humans!
- Sick - don't you thik so?

The tobacco companies have really made it more difficult to quit; they added more nicotine to the cigarettes ... I'm so glad I'm free of that addiction; it was very difficult to quit.
