Less Nicotine = More Cigarettes

It should be, yes, that individuals inform themselves about products & foods they use but just as hydrogenated fats had their wave of awareness, the news just doesn't get around about all the chemicals included in the processing of tobacco, including sugars.

I happen to smoke tobacco and have found that smoking pure, specie tobacco (non-hybridized) has resulted in smoking less, not more. Plus it tends to burn more slowly and has a tendency to go out.

Smoking pure tobacco costs alot more (don't know why since they don't have to use processing chemicals in there along w/added sugars etc). And, many people have successfully weaned themselves down to fewer smokes by using pure tobacco and have found it easier to put them down altogether after a time.

There's a theory out there that the added sugars trigger the body into a sugar craving
even tho the sugars don't metabolize the same as when you ingest them, it tricks the body into a craving.

I do favor publicizing the hazards of the chemicals used in processing tobacco & paper etc...because I tend to believe that is the biggest problem w/the tobacco issue.
