Marlboro for the first several years, then an Iroquois Indian produced brand called "rollies" for the next 20. Now some burdock and ditch weed mix called This.

ever roll your own angela? i think the tobaccos cleaner than marbs and the other brands.

Wow, you're a real inspiration for the kids.

And for the record smokeless is no better for a human than smoking! I've done both and luckily I've quit both.

Do you smokers feel a little fearful about covid? The first thing the Dr. said to me when he found I had covid was, "well, you have never smoked, you haven't picked up vaping lately have you?" I said "no", he said, "you have nothing at all to worry about then".
With all the other bad stuff that comes with smoking, why purposely put yourself at a disadvantage?

Obviously you have never smoked any other herbs.
Mullein opens the breathing passages like nothing else.
Can feel it helping. Haven't noticed any bad effects after decades of use.
Surprised it isn't being used for China virus.

Care to elaborate? Scientific names of the herbs you're using? Cure method? Anything else?

So far I've smoked the bark and leaves of Red Osier dogwood. Leaves and flowers of Red and White clover. Leaves of Staghorn sumac, mullein, and a few others.

Helloooo! , we're trying to discourage kids from smoking here.

I don't smoke anymore,but is smoking sitting a worse example for kids than say being obese does ?

Quit smoking 15 years ago and yes I did try other herbs. Everything from Mullein to marijuana and none of them "opened my breathing passages" they all felt like I was inhaling smoke because I was. If it makes you feel better all the power to ya. Some people take sugar pills and feel better. For me I'll stay smoke free

I really miss tobacco. If I get diagnosed with a terminal disease instead of just tipping over someplace I am going to take up chewing again.

I've been thinking its pretty funny to watch people take off their masks to smoke.

Those vaping devices are also known as a phag flute.

The below is an excerpt from the conclusion of a 2009 article in the New England Journal of Medicine

"If past obesity trends continue unchecked, the negative effects on the health of the U.S. population will increasingly outweigh the positive effects gained from declining smoking rates. Failure to address continued increases in obesity could result in an erosion of the pattern of steady gains in health observed since early in the 20th century."

Smoking is bad (lost a grandmother to lung cancer) and I'm glad its on the decline. Maybe in 20 years processed sugars and little debbie snack cakes will be equally maligned. "big sugar" will be the enemy and the government will legislate it and tax it into submission.

How long has it been Danny? Most long term clean quitters are repulsed by it.

I get a kick out of people who think I should smell their smoke, but then they're offended when I fart beside them.

Mind if I smoke? Mind if I fart?

Good call.

Smoking is indeed bad, as is chew. However, sugar is an awful beast, that and cheap, easy, plastic wrapped garbage food. Go observe an average group of 100 twelve year olds and pay attention to how many of them could not hike a mile due to diet. Diet is worse than tobacco in 2020 in my opinion.

I have had lung issues my entire life. Was severely asthmatic as a baby, and still am. I never smoked cigarettes. Parents were two pack a day smokers, all my siblings did. Of the 4 of us kids, I am the only one still alive. My one sister died at 52 of liver cancer, the other two from smoking. My oldest sister made it to 66, my brother 40. My brother smoked so much that his fingers were stained yellow. This following story is how much attitudes about smoking have changed......I had to do those danged allergy shots weekly for years as a kid. One time when at the MD's office getting the shot I was having a bad day from asthma. My mother commented to the doctor , who was puffing a cigarette, that I complained about cigarette smoke bothering me.....that doctor literally took a drag and blew the smoke in my face and said it was all in my head! Can you imagine some Sawbones doing that in this day and age and the thing being recorded? The lawyers would be richer and the kid on every talk show in the country. What did I get? I got my allergy shot and was sent on my way, only to ride home with my mother who was puffing away. All I have for advice to anyone about smoking.....don't start, quit if you already do, and if you haven't quit, DON'T do it with your kids in the car.
