If so, why are we still encouring manufacture of cigarettes and cultivation of tobacco. Can’t it be completely banned? Who needs to take initiative?

Yes, and cigarettes will never be banned so long as some privileged group can turn a big profit off of them, with government support. Same goes with aspartame, unproven chemotherapy agents, mercury fillings, etc. Its the $$$ factor.

This video was created over a one-year period. At first, it was just random use of a video camera, plus a few pictures taken during a visit in September of 2006. Of course, this was before we knew that Mom had a collapsed lung. She went in for tests, and it was discovered that she had Stage IV Lung Cancer. As we learned of the cancer diagnosis in October of 2006, we tried to get Mom down to California (from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada). It was a race against logistics and paperwork (i.e. obtaining documentation in order to cross a border and travel), which we unfortunately lost. Mom suffered a stroke, ironically on the same day as she received her birth certificate, which would have allowed her to travel to Southern California. The stroke left her left side completely paralyzed, and she was stuck in the hospital, no longer the independent woman she once was. We were summoned to fly up immediately, as we were told by her doctors that her death would not be far behind. Mom proved them all wrong, and lived for four more months. Of course, the quality of life was minimal at best. There was no treatment, since the cancer was discovered so late, and due to the stroke. We have since learned that often times, a biopsy can knock loose cancerous material within a tumor, which can cause a stroke. It was extremely difficult to watch her suffering in a hospital bed, and wondering why her last months had to be made that much worse due to the stroke. So, Mom never did get to come see where we live in California. We continued to videotape the entire ordeal, so that family (who couldn’t be with us at that time) could see everything. We ended up with approximately 90 minutes of raw footage, which has been edited down to the 10 minutes allowed here. First, we have done this to honor Mom’s last wishes: tell people not to smoke. Second, we have completed this very emotional project to honor her memory, and to help us as we continue through the grieving process. Finally, we are aware that much of the anti-smoking media is not so real to life–it doesn’t show the suffering, what the families go through, and the pain that cigarettes actually cause. This documentary is “non-Hollywood”. We have omitted certain things that one might find offensive, including her IV, vomiting, bodily functions, and her actual death itself, which was obviously painful. Instead, we have brought many different segments together, which still conveys our overall message: DON’T SMOKE!

In a letter dated September 24, 2006, from Mom:
“Try not to worry about my health. I go for a CAT-SCAN on October 4th. I should have the results about a week later. The appointments are taking a long time, so I must not be in such dire shape, or they would rush them. I’m glad you never really had the desire to smoke. What do your lungs look like after all of those years of second-hand smoke? I can’t wait to see you and Patti more often. Gotta go for now. Love Forever, Mom”

To conclude, one can compare smoking cigarettes to a slow-motion car accident. At any time, you can get out of the car before it crashes. It is your choice. Furthermore, you may be driving your own car, but please remember that you take passengers along for the ride.

Is it me or the price of newports has gone up but why the reason I smoke cigarettes cause I have a lot on my mind and have a stressful life and of pisses me off when someone does that

Both the wholesale price and taxes took a big jump recently.

I suggest getting stressed about dying 10 years too soon because of heart disease or cancer that you wouldn’t get as a non-smoker.

cigarettes are bad, we know this, but many go through great lengths not to tell you its most lethal substance. At DGTv we will, and no, it’s not nicotine! Da Ghetto Tymz magazine and DGTv’s M’Bwebe Aja Ishangi takes you on an alternative route that may make you wonder…

From one source, I hear marijuana is not as bad, and another I hear marijuana is worse.
please answer from an unbiased point of view

No but is has other harmful effects in the long run, like damamge to your heart, brain function (obvioulsy) and can damage your immune system. On the other hand I heard (randomly so excuse me if I dont have the exact source) that on a scale of one to ten (one being least harmful) marajuana was the least harmful addicting drug out there. Cocaine, and herroine were high up on the list next to the most harmful being ciggarettes and alcohol.

But mainly pot it just makes you lazy and stupid

A pack of cigarettes will have a 1 dollar tax on it starting Wednesday, April 1st 2009. Maybe it’s a giant April Fools’ joke directed at smokers, maybe it’s for real. I would recommend you buy as many packs as you can before Wednesday to save some major kablinkie. So if you smoke, or are thinking about becoming addicted in the near future, go to your local cigarette store and buy up the whole supply before they start costing you a lung and a trachea. If you don’t you could end up kicking yourself, and your leg will be too tired to then kick the habit.

“Medical groups see a tax increase right in the middle of a recession as a great incentive to help persuade smokers to quit.” HAHAHA…

You might be wondering how I manage to keep giving out these awesomely good ideas that could change the world and make me an emperor, well, the fact of that matter is I have so many ideas these are the ones at the bottom of the barrel BUT also I would really like them to be put into action, because I care…
