Don't get hooked on nicotine! My husband and I almost never fight (been married 40 years!). A happy stoner marriage. imp: :stoned: What was our very first fight about??? Tobacco. 40 years ago, we were down to a bit of change- pay day would be the next day. HE wanted to buy a pack of Camels and go hungry that night. I wanted to buy some food. We compromised (he was not very happy about it, though)- we got him a bag of Bull Durham tobacco and I got a can of tuna and some mac and cheese (which we shared). He prefered his tobacco over both of us eating! That is addiction. He still smokes tobacco- his health is far worse than mine- his fingers and toes are always cold to the touch, he coughs a lot and he doesn't want to even think about lung cancer! His habit will make a widow out of me yet! He has promised to quit so many times. "When a pack of cigarettes hits a dollar....$2. When a bag of Bugler hits a dollar... When I get out of jail...off probation. When I hit 50...60...(and now) 65 (end of this month). Thousands of dollars gone up in smoke (and no high to it either) and a husband getting sicker each day and still smoking! Is this what you want for yourself and those you love? Tobacco shuts down the little blood vessels in your hands and feet making them cold, but it shuts down the ones in your brain and other parts of your body (yes, THAT one too- impotence is very common among older male tobacco addicts). Everyone knows about the cancer link with tobacco. An ex-heroin addict once told me that "tobacco is harder to kick than heroin- at least with heroin, you don't find half-filled syringes lying on the sidewalk! Tobacco butts are everywhere!" (He still smoked tobacco, incidentally.) I can remember my husband looking in gutters for half-smoked cigarettes to feed his habit. Did you know, a SINGLE DROP of pure NICOTINE placed on a rabbits ear, will kill the rabbit (rather unpleasantly) in hours! Think about it! I love my husband, but he usually stinks of tobacco! Breath, hands, clothes- YUCK! This is a stinky, dangerous, unsexy drug that slowly kills you! Smoke pot! Moderate use raises IQ, it apparently kills cancer cells, protects against Alzheimer's and is a heck of a lot more fun! :dance: :thumbsup: :stoned:
