Peoples lives are being smoked away by tobacco, especially exposure to second hand smoke that lingers, fouling things nearby with tar. Smoking one the most powerful causes of preventable death & disease, just like coal power emissions, vehicle tail pipe emissions & other air pollutants that sicken, harm, hurt, & kill people!
Smuggling, trafficking, bribery, corruption, lies, deceptive marketing, criminal activity, moral negligence, unethical evil marketing & ad's targeting children with tobacco branding to deliberately perform inception by embedding the brand into the limbic system so that children so effected by these ad's from Big Tobacco are more likely to buy tobacco products & become smokers as young adults & to the tobacco industries long term benefits, become like long smokers who die of preventable diseases as the result of inhaling tobacco smoke.
The most surprising, that 2nd hand smoke much more toxic that primary tobacco smoke because people exposed to second hand smoke are breathing linger tar & soot from it for hours & hours, all day long, in homes of people who smoke, without getting most of the psychoactive chemicals that the smoker enjoys.
Watch this YouTube video about the Tobacco Industry doing evil things around the world!
Smokers Burning Homes Down
Many preventable fires in homes are caused by smokers falling asleep with a lit cigarette in their hands! Chronic second hand smoke exposure, just like chronic stress or chronic sleep deprivation, ends up having negative health consequences by causing lung cell damage, and most people in developing countries understand that smoking unhealthy & causes health problems!
Smoking Every Last Penny
Smokers in poor countries, with very little money, will spend their last money on cigarettes instead of buying food for their spouse or children. In these poorly regulated countries, cigarettes are sold for $1USD per box of 20. That same $1USD can buy three small meals in some poor countries.
Smuggling Tobacco Products
Tobacco is the the most smuggled legal drug in the world, with tobacco cartels & fake scientists publishing false works all being paid by big tobacco companies! We are talking about transnational tobacco corporations of old money with political influence, global reaching marketing & the most creative marketing of any industry in the world!
Most Addictive Nicotine
Nicotine the most addictive drug known to mankind, & marketing tobacco products to children in developing countries the way a tired & dying industry keeps profits alive, while premium cigar's increase in popularity in countries where smoking cigarettes declined sharply after 1994, like America!
Tobacco Smoke Tar & Thousands of Other Substances
Wait, tobacco is not nicotine, its a plant that contains thousands of compounds like other plants that people eat & smoke, clove for example, or incense, or refined carbohydrate food stuff's with 50+ ingredients that few people can even pronounce correctly; chemical additives with complicated names that only people sophisticated in college level chemistry understand how to pronounce!
The tar in tobacco smoke itself made of hundreds of chemical substances, sorta like crude oil or petroleum. Inside the human lungs the freebase vapors of nicotine & other substances pass through the lung membranes, into the blood circulatory of the smoker & the psychoactive parts pass into the brain where they increase feel good chemical transmitters. Most of the substances in tobacco smoke are toxic to differing extends & offer smokers nothing other than health problems associated with smoking tobacco!
Tobacco Psychoactive, like Cannabis or Caffeine
So why do people smoke? Because nicotine & other substances in tobacco smoke are psychoactive, modulating neurological chemical signaling in the brain, specifically the dopamine reward system & nicotinic receptors that modulate acetylene choline levels, more specifically in the nucleus accumbent or reward center of the human brain. Some components of tobacco smoke are potent inhibitors of human monamine oxidase, meaning the act like anti-depressants or mood elevating substance, specifically beta-carbolize alkaloids in the tobacco smoke that act as potent & reversible inhibitor of the MAOI enzyme system, causing a temporary increase in nor-epinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, & acetylcholine levels shortly after the tobacco smoked inhaled.
Espresso & Tobacco YOLO Mix
When coffee or tea are also consumed, the nicotine from the tobacco smoke & caffeine from the tea or coffee interact in synergistic positive modulatory ways on human brain neurotransmitter levels, giving rise to increased executive function, improved neuroplasticity, improved salience, improved vigilance, improved memory function, but within 90 minutes of smoking those temporary elevations in "feel good, think good" brain chemicals starts to decline below the base level that was present before smoking.
Smoking Very Addictive
Thus reinforcement at a biochemical level causes the smoker to seek another hit of tobacco smoke, to light up another cigarette, to put more chew in their mouth. Tobacco almost like a designer drug, the ultimate additive drug that is manipulated into the smokers body with ammonia chemistry the tobacco company engineers in the the cigarette components, most of which are not natural tobacco. Additives, ammelorants, adulterants & other chemical manipulating substances are added to the rag before it is cut into the shreds used to fill common filtered cigarettes.
History of Tobacco
Tobacco smoke has a long history, like that of chocolate, beer, wine & many other food stuffs. Its interesting to think that such an unhealthy & toxic product can be so popular worldwide, with sales in the hundreds of billions, more profit to big tobacco then the size of the entire economies of many other nations. More people die preventable deaths caused by smoking that aids, gun violence, car accidents & war combined.
Hundreds of people have died as the result of smoking tobacco since I started typing this post! There is an excellent Modern Marvels show about the History of Tobacco, that tells you all about it, including why smoking toxic, why smoking unhealthy, why smoking a bad idea, why tobacco products harm smokers & their families & communities & why tobacco not wise to consume for a lot of other reasons, especially the criminal misconduct & unethical & immoral activities of the big tobacco companies who engage in every form of deceptive marketing, lies, disinformation, misinformation, falsifying scientific research on tobacco to confuse & trick the public, marketing to children in markets like North Korea where the government cares more about profits than people! This should be called Tobacco, Ethics & Morality burned up into Smoke that Kills smokers with preventable diseases & health problems caused by smoking tobacco products, especially cigarettes.
