How the world’s most profitable industrialized poison was sold for a hundred years, what it does to the body, what the industry knew and hid, and where the killing is now after the U.S. has woken up.
It would be good if you had to time do a book review on Ardis, besides just hitting on his spoken words. . . I have the book and, up to this time, have been mostly convinced of his thesis based on the Covid spike vaccine with Nicotine being a detoxing agent. THough, I have not bothered to get some nic-patches! yet.
On the Unbekoming: I signed up but holy crapp, this guy is Toooooo prolific. No way can I read as many articles as he pumps out each week!
My brother, who is a smoker, was the only one in the family who did not get Covid while surrounded by family member and friends who were sick with Covid or sick with jabs they injected. Years later, I see many people buying nicotine patches even non-smokers to get over the long-Covid or the Spike Protein from the jabs.
C-lie-A 'infected' Wikipedia well known. I never use it. Non-reliable source. Wikipedia has problems out the gate. Some stuff looks fair to middlin' but... I would trust as a reliable source.
My mother smoked while I was in the womb. I can't say as to what was in the cigarettes at the time, but my Dad said I was "the cryingest baby he'd ever seen". Well yeah, DAD, I was going through the throes of withdrawal symptoms as a newborn. Yeah, I'm going to be just a bit cranky!
Nicotine is not addictive either... it's the chemicals in the cigarettes. Nicotine is a natural substance found in Vegetables. There is more nicotine in Egg Plant than there is in Tobacco. Our bodies have Alpha-7 Nicotinic Acetyl Choline Receptors on every organ in our body. Our bodies need and use nicotine naturally. The poison killshots are made with synthetic venom which attaches to the receptors. When you wear a nicotine patch (no chemicals) and give your body the nicotine... those receptors release the venom to grab onto the nicotine which is what they really want/need. Then you need a binder like Vit 'C' to bind to and pull out the toxins/venoms that were released. EVERYTHING we've been taught is a lie!
I smoked for decades, stopping now and again for relatively short periods by sheer unsustainable willpower. Though I was most certainly addicted to smoking, I was not physically addicted in any meaningful way because the physical sensation of withholding was only a mild uncomfortable ‘itch’, that I recognised under other circumstances I would ignore. It was the psychological ‘space’ carved out while I was smoking that I craved. I felt immediately ‘free’ and as though time stood still for those few minutes with a lit cigarette, that sense diminishing, and reality crowding back in, during the final puffs.
I tried hypnosis which didn’t work. I believed patches wouldn’t work because why would continuing the drug help me get off the drug? I also suspected for me it wasn’t a physical addiction, so patches would just be replacing one ritual for another, leaving my core problem untouched. I believed people who quit with patches were already primed to quit, and did so despite the patches, not because of them. What worked for me was Allan Carr’s book ‘Easy way to stop smoking’ which somehow successfully freed my psychology. Although it is based on hypnosis, in hindsight, I think the reading length of the book, especially if you slow it down over a week which is what I did, being longer than a hypnosis session, was key for it working for me. The idea is that you continue smoking while reading the book, and by the time you reach the end you just don’t want to smoke. It worked that way for me. Allan Carr died of lung Cancer and his story of self-loathing and efforts to quit are memorable. He is a hero in my view.
I watched my parents suffer under this addiction my entire life...but even back in the early 60s, it was too strong for them to care about the health of their children, my brother born premature in 1959, looked like a gray rat...I was born in 1961, barely breathing, with lifelong asthma ahead, parents who smoked in the house, no care that they were causing their children harm. I still have the scars in my lungs, every CT scan shows me again!
I smoked for about 50 years. Covid revealed that I had emphysema about 3 years ago. CT scans to monitor the progression of the disease revealed 2 growths in my right lung. Subsequent PET scans showed metabolic activity consistent with cancer. I'm not looking for sympathy, nor do I despair over dealing with this. (That's a whole other story.) I started smoking during my freshman year of college, living away from home for the first time. I hated it, was depressed, and decided to do something idiotic and self-destructive. It was not without its satisfactions, though, and those provided a warped rationale for continuing to smoke. I quit about 14 months ago. The impetus? A look at the results of my CT scan in pictures, showing what my lungs looked like. Patches helped, as do nicotine pouches. Here's how insidious and powerful the addiction is: knowing all I know about the state of my own health now, I still miss it. Personally, I don't blame anyone (even Big tobacco). No one made me do it, and the negative facts abut smoking were drummed into me in high school health class.. I can only shake my head over the fact that both of my parents smoked, as did our family MD when I was young. We grow old too soon, and smart too late!
I did get the Omicron version of COVID in late '22. I was not vaccinated. I got over it with no seeming difficulty, but caught a chest cold about 3 weeks later. That deteriorated into bronchitis and then pneumonia. Things got pretty dicey around then; I was afraid I'd end up in the hospital. That was when I began seeing a pulmonologist and the emphysema was diagnosed after a Pulmonary Function Test and CT scan.
For 25 years after quitting smoking I still had nicotine cravings. After a meal sitting around with a cup of coffee was the strongest.
The social factors of a shared experience and conformity with peers is/was also a strong driver.
If you ask me, cigarettes are more addictive than heroin, as one doesn't sit around after meals and do heroin. And, yes, I did have experience with heroin.
As for the smokeless version, here in the southeast snuff and chewing tobacco are old traditions...along with horrific mouth and face cancer and tooth loss.
Excellent point here as to this being an extermination...complete with massive profits.
But it is not the nicotine that you crave bc in cigarettes they put in poison addictive compounds which is causing the severe addiction. I smoked, too, for quite some time and used the patches to stop easily. Now I use the patch to stop the pain from RA, which it does. Not addicted to them as I forget to use them once in awhile.
What say ye to the long long long history of traditional usage by the native peoples of the North Central and South Americas with no apparent health effects. It(tobacco) is deemed quite a cure for many diseases by traditional indigenous folk the world over
Tobacco is not the problem. People used to smoke and live for many years until tobacco companies were permitted to spray all crops with pesticides and put opium in their cigarette papers to create an addiction.

great post. Interesting. Ironic.
my decades of benzo abuse, I wonder often when the dementia will kick in..at 55? .. was far worse than just a chip
I am glad you covered the PD/nicotine patch phenomenon.
Also in the wind is "nicotine protects people from Covid."
As far as I'm concerned, tobacco is a filthy, stinking mess.
Both my parents were long term smokers, and both ultimately died from it.
As a child I sat in the backseat with their smoke swirling around the vehicle.
Nasty.
Harvard study 2015: Nicotine Addiction and Pyrazines
Says that nicotine is not addictive...it is the pyrazines added to nicotine products that cause the addiction.
If you use Harvard as a reference, you believe in the Easter bunny

So, did you get covid? Did you get the jab?

By far the best source of knowledge regarding the use and effects of nicotine is Dr Ardis.
Read his book on Covid 19.
He explains the details about Nicotine and how it alone is different from tobacco in cigarettes by a LONG shot.
Nicotine can be life-saving. He wears a nic. patch every single day.

It would be great to hear Dr. Yoho's thoughts after studying Ardis's book and videos!
Two people I have a lot of respect for. Ardis is not some nutcase.

my grandma smoked her whole life, died at 89. I don't recall her coughing or hacking, died of old age and dementia as I recall.
There.
So, I agreed with something YOU said!
