E-cigarettes contain up to 10 times the level of cancer-causing agents as regular tobacco, Japanese scientists said yesterday, the latest blow to an invention once heralded as less harmful than smoking.
The electronic devices — increasingly popular around the world, particularly among young people — function by heating flavored liquid, which often contains nicotine, into a vapor that is inhaled, much like traditional cigarettes but without the smoke.
…or should I say in the “bad old days”, way back then in 1550. Here are some interesting facts:
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty good by June.
However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the B.O.
A friend of mine came to visit us for a long weekend and we had a list of things that we we wanted and needed to do. My husband stayed at home with our older dogs and our newest family addition…the “terror puppy”.
The nation’s biggest mass quit attempt saw more people than ever helping each other through to 28 days without smoking. Stoptober showed that it is easier to quit smoking in a group, with lots of support and lots of motivation.
First of all “Thank you” for all the nice Birthday wishes. My blogging friend M-R has a birthday calender for her blogging friends…what a sweet idea! It was so nice to see so many people stopping by and leaving “Happy Birthday Comments” it made me smile and I apologize for not answering sooner.
Dear Politician(s),
Today I got lucky and can write to you and for the first time you will be able to understand what I am trying to say since years. Thanks to the daily prompt, today you guys will be not illiterate, because that’s what you are right? I mean you guys can’t read or write correct? I mean this has to be it, it’s the only logical explanation I can come up with. That, or you communicate in a language that human being just can’t understand.
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-old, “What does love mean?”
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
One day a small opening in the cocoon appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.
I had a very interesting week at an addiction recovery center. It was not just a challenging and interesting project to work there, it was although an eye-opener for me. Am I an addict or not? Is smoking an addiction or a dependency to an addictive substance? Do I classify as addict, because I smoked for so long?
I found a lot of answers this week. I am glad I I didn’t believe everything that I heard at the quit smoking support boards. I will sort this all out…in the meantime I just had to re-blog this. Eye-opening…Good job…well done!
New Blogging Rules…
6 months ago I started blogging. I wasn’t really sure what it meant but decided to do it anyway. I watched the movie “Julie and Julia” and if she could do it, so could I…it couldn’t be that complicated. I had the idea, or the vision, to write about my quitting journey. I wanted to share my experience with others and thought “maybe I can reach just one smoker”. I didn’t really know how, but that was the idea behind it and the reason why I started blogging.
