I was just checking the local paper and there is an anti -smoking opine letter there. I want to paste a line or 2:

"According to the Centers for Disease Control, just five minutes of exposure stiffens the aorta as much as smoking a cigarette. Twenty minutes of exposure is equal to smoking a pack a day."

So now, guess what... yes im sure youve done the math.. the avg non smoker who works an 8 hour shift in a bar smokes the equivalent of 24 packs a day. rofl lol lol lol

It's hard to beleive that people are dumb enough to buy this.

Unfortunately, some of them are.

The problem is that they lied on primary smoking as much, from 1950s and on. Since we were injected with the lies about primary smoking during our childhoods, most smokers have absorbed them as a facts. It is precisely that toxic sting is what is holding smokers paralyzed, unwilling to defend against the outrageous extortion by the antismoking parasite. That is why, before any defensive political and economic action can happen, this sting has to be neutralized, as suggested earlier.

There is an interesting parasite in animal world which does to their victim what antismoking con artists are doing to smokers:

Emerald cockroach wasp


The emerald cockroach wasp (Ampulex compressa, also known as the jewel wasp) is a parasitoid wasp of the family Ampulicidae. It is known for its reproductive behavior, which involves using a live cockroach (specificially a Periplaneta americana) as a host for its larva. A number of other venomous animals which use live food for their larvae paralyze their prey. Unlike them, Ampulex compressa initially leaves the cockroach mobile, but modifies its behaviour in a unique way.

As early as the 1940s it was published that wasps of this species sting a roach twice, which modifies the behavior of the prey. A recent study using radioactive labeling proved that the wasp stings precisely into specific ganglia. Ampulex compressa delivers an initial sting to a thoracic ganglion of a cockroach to mildly paralyze the front legs of the insect. This facilitates the second sting at a carefully chosen spot in the cockroach's head ganglia (brain), in the section that controls the escape reflex. As a result of this sting, the cockroach will now fail to produce normal escape responses.

The wasp, which is too small to carry the cockroach, then drives the victim to the wasp's den, by pulling one of the cockroach's antennae in a manner similar to a leash. Once they reach the den, the wasp lays an egg on the cockroach's abdomen and proceeds to fill in the den's entrance with pebbles, more to keep other predators out than to keep the cockroach in.

The stung cockroach, its escape reflex disabled, will simply rest in the den as the wasp's egg hatches. A hatched larva chews its way into the abdomen of the cockroach and proceeds to live as an endoparasitoid. Over a period of eight days, the wasp larva consumes the cockroach's internal organs in an order which guarantees that the cockroach will stay alive, at least until the larva enters the pupal stage and forms a cocoon inside the cockroach's body. After about four weeks, the fully-grown wasp will emerge from the cockroach's body to begin its adult life.

I can only guess you are equating smokers with cockroaches? I can only assume the order to keep cockroaches alive is to tax tobacco to limit consumption but allow tobacco companies to increase the addictive component to disable the escape reflex then use the tax money to fund welfare so more social security recipients may be born. The wall of stones is like caring for sick smokers that they might live on to buy more tobacco and pay more tax.

A very clever analogy!

Shouldn't do that, that's what it wants.

nightlight, you are a highlight. Please don't suspend yourself, i read everything you post.

Dont leave. Put him on ignore as most of the rest have done. I dont want u to leave either. I spose im kinda being a hypocrite since i cancelled my name from a message board this morning myself. Dont let the dweeb over at alt.smokers get to u either. Shawn is just another no-minded twit (its gotta be shawn hirn hes referring too).

I'd bet a nickle that nick pertains to a 383 Road Runner!

I don't know about those wasps, but I do know that the two longest enduring contestants in the animal and human worlds have one thing in common; know-it-all people, like cockroaches, just never become "extinct".

No Tera - they just become "ignored"

well done smallbird.
