Anti smokers are amazing. They are the only
people that, when presented with the truth about why people smoke or use
tobacco, fail to grasp it. Serve it on a silver platter in front of them, and
they just don’t see it. It’s like throwing pearls at a pig.
On the Forces website,
Norman Kjono used a quote from The Los Angeles Times, April 25, 2005, “Beyond A
Craving,” by one Charles Duhigg. Observe what happens when a grub finds royal
jelly:
“By profiling dedicated
cigarette addicts, scientists hoped they would find common traits and use
that knowledge to design anti_smoking campaigns. What they have found,
however, has proved more controversial than most researchers expected:
Smokers are more depressed and suffer a higher rate of anxiety disorders and
other psychological maladies. At the same time, nicotine may provide a
mental boost that helps them cope. These finding (sic) help explain why
some people won't quit, experts say. ‘We thought understanding the smoker's
mind would help us end tobacco use,’ said Gerald Markle, professor of
sociology at Western Michigan University’ “.
Professor Gerald Markle
wants to understand the smoker’s mind. Maybe he should try to understand his own
mind.
Tobacco use
may provide a mental boost.
How much more clearly do you
want it spelled out, you anti smoking imbicile?
I have a liking for quoting
that cigar-smoking titan, Winston Churchill. Here’s what he said of one of his
contemporaries, Stanley Baldwin, in a quote that springs to my mind:
“He occasionally stumbled
over the truth, but hastily picked himself up and hurried on as if nothing had
happened.”
That’s what happens when a
grub by the name Gerald Markle finds royal jelly.
