Why People Smoke

[allmymarbles]

I wonder if the medical community has it wrong about why people smoke. The concentration is on nicotine, not smoke itself. For those of you who have kept bees you know that to calm them, you smoke them. Have you noticed that when a smoker gets upset (even a light smoker) he will reach for a cigarette? It must be the smoke with its calming effect that he wants, not the nicotine. There isn't even time for nicotine to have an effect. The smoke is immediate. Maybe science should take another look at smoking addiction.

Glad to have your ear. The problem with scientists, sometimes, is that they have tunnel vision. The obvious escapes them. Take vaccinations, for instance. They run a bunch of little tests and find that there is no connection between autism and vaccinations. Now they are happy they don't have to change their protocol, because like farmers, doctors resist change.

But did you know that the vaccinations inflicted on a baby in its first year of life immunize them against 64 different ailments? Yes, 64, because many of the vaccinations are combinations. Consider what a burden that is on an infant's immune system. It takes common sense to see that, not tunnel vision. It is interesting to note that it is educated parents who are refusing to vaccinate their children, not ignorant people who are swept up by fads.  And it is not a question of whether vaccinations cause autism. They definitely harm the baby's immune system (which may also result in autism).. It basically gives them 64 mini ailments - in combination. I don't know what part the producers of the vaccines play in determining the safety of their products. We can only guess....

hmm.....interesting! Try to get someones ear about that, seriously.
We recently found out that people need a certain amount of sun to keep them from getting depressed and we know that cold weather prevents people from getting out as much leaving them with "cabin fever." Very interesting!
