It's a sad way to go. So many people have their lives cut short by cigarettes, yet so many people take up the habit every day. A smelly, expensive and unsightly habit. My grandpa died of emphysema seven years ago, after having a lung removed and being confined to a bed for several years before and after that. I have a friend who took up smoking this summer, and is now unquestionably addicted. I really, really don't understand. Thank God for the new cigarette tax--how can people argue with lengthening lives???
Anyway, these thoughts were ignited by an article I read on Keloland's website. The article was on a new type of quitting method: hand gel. Apparently, Kelo found a frequent smoker to test out the gel, and it helped her to reduce her nicotine intake from eight cigarettes a day to three.
Her description of the gel's effect was interesting. She said the first sensation was tingling in her hands (where you rub the gel) and after a couple minutes, she could actually taste nicotine in her mouth! It's creepy to think how fast drugs--or any substance for that matter--spread through a person's body.
There are few things I have no understanding of and tolerance for. Among Racism, alcoholism, hatred, and rape is smoking. Completely pointless. Thank you, companies like "Nicogel" for providing an easier way out for oen of life's worst choices.
