SMOKING IS GOOD FOR YOU!
Thing is, no one knows what causes cancer. There is a relationship between smoking and lung cancer, but NO ONE has proved a causal relationship. It may very well be protective...i.e. people smoke to protect themselves from the things that cause cancer.
Here are a few things from Nightlight (who posts on Speakeasy and other forums). He's a physicist and has done an enormous amount of research, examining the "hard science"--as opposed to the "soft science" of, for example, epidemiological studies.
1) Osteo-arthritis reduced threefold (the most for knee arthritis in women)
http://rheumatology.oxfordjournals.org/
cgi/content/abstract/32/5/366
2) Lowered insuline growth factor IGF-1 (in animal experiments this change extends lifespan).
3) Internal antioxidant SOD doubled (recent article labels the higher SOD "the elixir of eternal life" based on animal experiments i.e. hard science).

4) Reduced MAO B enzyme (smokers in their 60s have MAO B of nonsmokers in their 20s; also here). Lowering of MAO B is the holy grail (deprenyl does it but not as well as tobacco) of life-extension and smart drug circles.

5) Telomerase ("fountain of youth") much more active in smokers.

6) Glutathione (chief antioxidant in human body) and catalase (another key antioxidant which neutralizes alcohol damage, cyanide,...) doubled in smokers.

7) Nicotine suppresses cell death of neurons (it also promotes vascular growth factor, e.g. growth and branching of capillaries).
8) Low concentration carbon monoxide (as found in tobacco smoke) protects cells in harsh conditions, such as low oxygen and general cell death.
9) Nitric oxide stimulates peripheral circulation (this is the mechanism behind Viagra effect).
10) The miracle supplement (for skin, heart, brain rejuvenation) Coenzyme Q10 is extracted from tobacco leaf.
11) Raises youth hormonoes DHEA, pregnenolone, testosterone,...

... and so on and on, all hard science (not the wishfully interpreted statistical correlations of usual antismoking "science"). And this is all from antismoking scientists, doing the hard science, while straining very hard to somehow give their findings negative spin. Smokers ought to know all this and when they do in sufficient numbers, the antismoking racket will be over instantly.

More links and info to support the statement "Smoking is good for you!" coming soon. In the meantime, break out of the smoker's "curse". Just because Big Tobacco Control (BTC) and the scummy little anti-smokers who worship BTC tell you that smoking is killing you and everyone around you, DON'T BELIEVE IT! There is NO proof that secondhand smoke harms anyone. And there IS proof that SMOKING IS GOOD FOR YOU. Where is this proof? In the very studies that BTC and the antis use to back up their claims that smoking and shs is harmful. Tobacco is an herb, a medicinal, magical plant that has been used for millennia without ill effects. Remember...smoking is good for you!
P.S. to the scummy little antis--You're either in on the scam or you've been duped. Do the research, find out the real truth....SMOKING IS GOOD FOR YOU!
-------------------------
Smokers are beautiful, smart, sexy, and happy--or we would be happy if you antis would shut the hell up and leave us alone. We harm no one, not even ourselves, with our smoke. Overall, statistically, we are healthier than non-smokers and ex-smokers, if you read the REAL studies and not the twisted soundbites from your biased anti-smoking groups, and we live longer, despite the lies you antis spew. We tried to be nice; we agreed that you shouldn't have to smell our smoke if you don't want to. We were amenable to accomodating you with separate smoking and non-smoking sections, but noooooo, that's not enough for you antis. Now, we are fighting mad and we're not going to take it anymore! We are fed up with being forced outside in inclement weather and unsafe conditions. We are fed up with being coerced to quit "for our own good"--we don't want our health to be as sickly and fragile as yours. We are fed up with a dwindling job pool and skyrocketing insurance costs. We are fed up with being kicked out of our homes and threats to take our children away. We are fed up with a small group of narrow-minded, ignorant, greedy, busybody bigots who don't like the smell of smoke running and ruining our lives. ENOUGH! The sleeping giant of more than one quarter of the population is stirring and soon will awaken and rise to take back what is ours. Get ready, folks. When this secondhand smoke scam is busted wide open, it won't be pretty. Just remember...smokers and their like-minded non-smoking friends and families outnumber YOU.
=======================
NOTE: If you're a little narrow-minded anti and thinking of writing to me to "straighten me out" or preach the anti truth (aka LIES) or...whatever it is you think you want to tell me, don't bother. I won't be answering your e-mail. In fact, I don't even read them. They are deleted UNREAD. Seriously. I don't have time for your garbage.
All you need to know to get you started on learning the TRUTH is here on this site...if you can open up that narrow mind enough to learn it, that is. What I have here is just the tip of the iceberg. More will be added as time permits.
Instead of writing me, visit this page: We Are Americans, Too!
If you are a smoker or a non-smoker who believes in rights for everyone, I'd love to hear from you!
