Smoking Addiction & Recovery Support Group

One of the biggest things people have against smoking is the smell and for quite some time the cigarette companies have been working on a cigarette that doesnt smell. Of course they would be peed off with any smaller company or organization that gets there first with a 'sweet smelling' cigarette BUT it is just more chemicals added to an already toxic mix. The contents of a cigarette are truly mind boggling.....

Every cigg we smoke has all of these in it..ewe!!!!

OMG....Ozzie!!!! Did we actually smoke that crap!!! It's crazy to think we put that in our body deliberately. I wouldn't swallow rat poison but I smoked that???? YIKES!!!! Thanks for the great info!!!

WOW Oz, you really did your homework. I never knew half of the stuff I was putting into my body for 35+ years.Wish I knew now what I didn't know then.
Love ya,Deb

One bright thought my treasures, with all those chemicals and preservatives, I'll keep you lot happy dancing and butt wiggling for years...and years....and years....and

When those chemicals you wrote out are combined with each other there are 1200 chemicals formed when lit. That I learned in addiction studies before 92 when I graduated from college. i imagine they've found more by now, also there chemicals in the paper, and fiberglass in the filters. I was a chronic smoker since age 14 and kept getting fatter each time i quit. I finally quit with chantix it was the easiest quit I ever had I am 55 now. I am so grateful, but the desire comes and goes and so do the dreams. Thanks Ozzie nice to meet you.

holy crap - can't believe i smoked all that junk for 35 or so years; thank goodness i quit; thanks ozzie for sharing ... and i love that avatar

Way to go, pozfem, on your 2 year s of freedom.
