It is natural to think that we are suffering a reaction
to an environmental poison. When was the first cluster
case documented? 150 years ago? In Sweden? Someone who
knows this may wish to post it...
I smoke as much as ever and have no pain. End of discussion.
Cigarette smoking is taking the blame for all our
troubles these days and i believe we should open our
eyes to some of the other environmental risks that we
can see or can't see.
Smoking is not a healthy habit, don't get me wrong, but i think
there is a witch hunt going on here because it is more
convenient to blame cigarettes for our ills than our cars or
our factories, our diets or our lifestyles.
I don't mean to get on a soapbox here, but we should consider
all the facts before coming to a conclusion.
Painfree days a'head to all.
