Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people
And if you read carefully, you will see that this post is not about smoking. It is about nicotine being used as a liquid, patch etc. (not smoking) that has beneficial effects that the medical industry would want to control.- WVOldFart

Nicotine would be used in its purist form, in a liquid. Smoking would not be promoted or recommended. Since we don't fully know what the medical industry has found out about nicotine, we can only speculate.- WVOldFart

Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people
What if the potential that nicotine can be used to maybe cure or stop the onset of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS and who knows what else can outweigh the profits from cancer and other tobacco related profits. What if they have an idea that nicotine can possibly contain or manage cancer, then the...- WVOldFart

Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people
For years the medical industry could not care less whether we smoked or not. It was "you shouldn't smoke. It is bad for your health." At the same time, they are happy to collect from our problems from surgeries, doctor's visits and medications. Now when the potential for new profits arises from...- WVOldFart

The only one we have to blame for our health concerning smoking is us. We choose to smoke. The post is about how the medical industry may want to eliminate smoking so that they can control nicotine on their terms.- WVOldFart

Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people
I am not writing concerning the health of smoking and who should we blame. The post was about how tobacco is being restricted or stopped from being sold in many areas of the world. Was it because they are worried about our health? I doubt that seriously. They are looking at possibly how they...- WVOldFart

Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people
I agree. It is also noted that a cigarette smoker is 16 times more likely to have health problems than a non-smoker. It is not beyond imagination to think that the medical profession would like to eliminate nicotine in smoking so that they can produce it is it purist form (a liquid or patch) so...- WVOldFart

Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people
I am not one for conspiracy theories but let us consider this. Not too long ago nobody cared if you smoked. The government was happy collecting the taxes on it and the medical profession was content on the occasional lung cancer patient. The medical profession never told us that 80 to 90% of...- WVOldFart

Who's Still Enjoying Churchwardens?
I wished I liked them better than I do. I believe I have 3 but rarely smoke them. Probably my favorite is a Cobbit Shire.- WVOldFart

I Remember When..........

My dad's doctor told him he had to stop smoking cigarettes due to circulation problems. Dad said to him "You smoke!" The doctor replied, "Do what I say, not what I do."- WVOldFart

Partial Bowl
The luxury of being retired is that I can usually set down and enjoy a 30-to-45-minute smoke. My wife is currently wheelchair bound and isn't supposed to have any weight bearing on her feet, so I am constantly getting up to get something for her or doing a small chore for her. Most of the time I...- WVOldFart
