The benefits of smoking tobacco have been common knowledge for
centuries, and big pharma knows this. From sharpening mental acuity to
maintaining optimal weight, the relatively small risks of smoking have
always been outweighed by the substantial improvement to mental and
physical health. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Tourette's Syndrome, even
schizophrenia and cocaine addiction are disorders that are alleviated by
tobacco. Tobacco shows promise to prevent colon and prostate cancer
and the endorsement for smoking tobacco by the medical establishment is
good news for smokers and non-smokers alike. The revelation that
tobacco is good for you is trumped by the pharmaceutical industry's plan
to substitute the natural and relatively inexpensive tobacco plant with
their overpriced and ineffective nicotine substitutions with 98% failure
rates for quitting for 1 year or more. Big pharma has spent billions
demonizing the pleasure of smoking using social engineering and profits
from bans that destroys private businesses. Follow the money!
