Cigarette

I’m a smoker (hopefully quitting with ecigarettes on the way) Used to mainly smoke cigarettes but over the last few months have been smoking "roll ups", loose tobacco you roll into a cigarette………..are there less chemicals in it compared to a manufactured cigarette? Thanks.

Please show where you got the 7000 number from.

I just can’t understand why smokers find it so hard to quit smoking when it is notoriously known as unhealthy habit. And why so many youth fall victim by this vice.

Smoking seems to favor the creation of enzymes which facilitates the manufacturing of signalling molecules, like dopamine, into a part of the brain that processes information related to motivation and reward – so really smoking produces neuronal adaptations, similar to those caused by harder drugs, that make it hard for the smoker to quit (the addiction).

Add to it the social (engineering) pressures to stop smoking, which can lead some people to try smoking by curiosity or to continue in defiance in spite of the health risks, and it only makes it more difficult to quit for many smokers.

I am now dating a woman for the first time who smokes cigarettes…I don;t smoke, so it is a new experience for me. I have not nagged her, and actually have put ashtrays in my apartment for her. She smoked for ten years before she met me so I know it is not fair to nag..my question is what can I do to be accomadating and keep her happy?

Just continue what you’re doing and everything will be fine.
No nagging, leave the ashtrays out. That will keep her happy.
You wanted to date her. If anything a smoker hates, it’s nagging. Just never don’t do it.

I’m trying to find out if and/or how cigarette smoke can cling to a person if no one is smoking in your presence (i.e. someone smokes in a room, you enter 2 hours later, you smell like smoke).

I need scientific facts so links to reports or studies would be greatly appreciated. Other possible questions I’d need answered for this report include:

Is it possible that smoke molecules can cling to you if someone smokes several rooms over?

Can the odor from an ashtray cling to a person (unlit cigarettes of course)?

If you’re around a person who smells like smoke, is it scientifically possible for the odor to rub off on you?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Is it possible the smoke smell is something a non-smoker would pick up after walking in the house? The odor may not necessarily be on the clothes but something "in the nose" of the person who smelled the smoke. Any scientific data to back it up?

Thanks
The reports on smoke molecules and how they "cling" to individuals. I have some data on how it sticks to an individual while in the presence of the odor but I need data on the lingering of the molecules/odor.

You can smell like cigarette smoke if you, your clothes, or the furniture you are sitting upon has been exposed to people that smoke.

If someone uses perfume or cologne and rubs up against you, some of that scent will linger on you. It’s gotten many a man in trouble. Also, I’m sure there are people out there who can tell you they work with people who they can smell coming way before they see them. It’s the same with cigarette smoke.

Ask a smoker what happens to the clothes they haven’t worn in awhile in their closet. They turn yellow wherever they’ve been exposed to the air.

I know from personal experience when I was a smoker that even before opening the door on my house I could smell the cigarette smoke lingering around the outside of the house. After I no longer smoked, I could smell that the house and car actually reeked of cigarette smoke.

If you are doing a report on whether or not smoking should be allowed in enclosed public places, I don’t think it should be. I respect your right to smoke, (I used to get irate at people who took the position I now take), but your right to smoke ends when I have to re-breathe the air you are polluting.

they really don’t make any sense when they say they need the revenue in one breath and with the other say higher prices will deter young smokers…at a point the tax revenue will fail to exist, or be basically moot…
a leading economist said in an article that health costs from smokers passed on to taxpayers is offset by the smoker dying younger on average…he said many people don’t want to figure this into the formula, but they must to get an accurate picture..he said that states actually save money on smokers, even with the added health costs, and that if states were serious about saving money, they should actually cut taxes and reward smokers…
i agree with the economist, alot of the other dribble is written by anti-smokers, period.

It’s the typical short-sighted liberal tax and spend mindset. Nothing new.

that if you have not started smoking regularly by age 20 that you probably never will start smoking. I’m 19 years, 8 months old. I’ve been smoking 1 cigarette like every couple of days for the past month and I do not feel addicted. I’d really like to become a regular smoker and I’m really feeling very pressured to smoke. What should I do?

They just say that because most people try it in their teens, so if they’re going to be come smokers, they know earlier. But you can start at any age, if that’s what you want. I’ve seen people start in their 20′s and 30′s. If you start now, you’ll probably become a smoker (though some people never take to it). But — why give in to pressure? If it’s something *you* want to do, fine, it’s your life and you know the risks, but pressure? I don’t know the nature of it, but I’d think twice before giving in.

In allot of films I have seen (esp ones from the 1930s, 1940′s, 1950′s and 1960′s) nearly all the characters are shown smoking cigarettes and all the famous actors were shown smoking in magazines.

Why?

Many many people smoked during those times (not just the rich and upper class). It was a popular thing to do (it was considered "cool" ). One of the main reasons people did it was because people didn’t know how bad it actually was to smoke, chew, etc. At that time, they didn’t know all of the negative effects smoking had on the smoker and the people around the smoker. Just like it used to be fashionable to be a little overweight.

Tobacco cultivation in southern Bulgaria…

Sie leben in abgeschiedenen Bergdörfern im Süden Bulgariens an der Grenze zu Griechenland: die Pomaken. Rund 250.000 Menschen, die zwar Bulgaren – also Slawen – sind und bulgarisch sprechen, aber an Allah glauben.
Noch vor 20 Jahren wurden sie von den damals regierenden Kommunisten verfolgt. Ihre muslimischen Namen wurden unter Zwang durch Bulgarische ersetzt; beispielsweise wurde aus dem Pomaken “Süleiman” über Nacht “Alexander”. Die Pluderhosen und Kopftücher wurden den Frauen vom Leib gerissen, Minderheiten – noch dazu religiöse – durfte es im kommunistischen Bulgarien einfach nicht geben. Viele Muslime wurden damals einfach vertrieben – in die Türkei.
Heute leben die Pomaken wieder so wie früher. Die Frauen tragen ihre Tracht, heiraten früh, gehorchen ihren Männern und trinken keinen Alkohol. Die Männer nehmen es damit nicht so genau. Doch das soll sich ändern: Islam-Stiftungen von weiter östlich, aus Syrien und den arabischen Emiraten, strömen in die bulgarische Bergregion, bauen neue Moscheen und Koranschulen für die Pomaken und versuchen so, die in ihren Augen etwas lax gewordenen Glaubensbrüder und -schwestern wieder zurück zum wahren Islam zu führen.
Der Film hat die Pomaken in der bulgarischen Bergkette der Rhodopen besucht, ihre archaischen Bräuche und ihr hartes Leben porträtiert.

Like the ones about if you smoke you might beat your wife is stupid…I smoke and its annoying to hear "you better quit" all the time from someone who has never picked up a cigarette, much less smoked one.

It gets better, it’s your tax money that’s paying for them.

The UK’s most complained about advert in 2007 was an anti-smoker (whoops, sorry that should be anti-smoking) advert that was paid for out of the NHS budget.

To give you some idea of the scale of the government anti-smoker drive in the UK, their costs were £17.34 million in 2003-4, £24 million in 2004-5 and £22.7 million in 2005-6 (I can’t find figures for any later than that, but the quantity seemed to increase).
Compare that with the cost of the children’s hospital that’s just been built near me (£30 million, of which they had to fund-raise half themselves).
