If anyone wants to be free it is as easy as letting go and as hard as defying gravity for 5 minutes. Tobacco addiction is insidious, it possesses ones mind and body. I was hopelessly addicted from the time I was a kid. I was finally able to quit smoking 15 months after I stopped drinking and using drugs. I used a 12 step program. Making it illegal seems like a pretty good idea sometimes, kinda like seat belt or helmet laws that protect us from ourselves and the environment. It will probably never happen because cigarettes kill us before we can collect Social Security, thats good for Alan Greenspan. The goverment is complicit in our death because cigarette taxes are about 50% of each pack sold. A lot of cashola greases the palms of politicians through tobacco lobbyists. I have lost about 50 close friends and family and 2 AA sponsors to cigarette poisoning. It keeps me smober. I was hopelessly addicted but there is hope if you are willing to do whatever it takes to stop. Once I got 1 day clean I told myself if I can not smoke for 1 day I can do it for 2 days, with Gods help. But not by my own power, forget it. Back to the legal part... It would take a paradigm shift in government to provide programs that support tobacco victims rather than cigar chomping corporate criminal gluttons that are literally poisoning us.

Oregon Suicide Law Challenged Makes our sheperds look like wolves. Politicians are such hypocrites. They send us to war to die for no good reason. They forbid women the freedom choice for their own bodies(this is so there is plenty of fodder for the bloated war machine). I dont know why they want us to suffer with addictions. Opiate the masses, dumbus down so we dont rise up against the establishment. And if we are dying from cancer they must want to keep us alive so we can fatten up the pharmaceutical racketeers. I know I dont want to spend my last few months in this world all doped up on opiates. I watched my friend and sponsor die a slow and painful death. I dont want to ever smoke again in my life, and I probably wont, if I just dont light up today.
