Why I Use Tobacco



WARNING - Many smoking cessation links contain articles, advertisements or other links that will encourage you to use nicotine replacement therapy or NRT (nicotine patches, gums, sprays or inhalers).  If you have remained nicotine free for 72 hours then your blood is now 100% nicotine free.  Your withdrawal symptoms have peaked and are now beginning to gradually subside.  For you, physical nicotine withdrawal is all but over.  The best way to guarantee that your cycle of physical withdrawal is a never ending story is to ingest nicotine back into your blood.  This is the "Law of Nicotine Addiction."




My cigarettes are my friend


The risks are exaggerated


My lungs can handle a little smoke


Ahhh, that's just a picture! Get real!


Not me! I'm blow out most of the smoke!


And I don't see any changes in my body


It's just tobacco - a simple plant


It helps me concentrate and think better!


It gets my blood pumping!


I can beat the odds


My family still loves me


Well, my pets certainly do!


I'm in my prime!  Why should I worry?


I can afford it


I'd miss handling the butts


It only affects me - no one else


I've got plenty of time left to quit


Heck, I probably wouldn't even be missed


I tried to quit thousands of times


The truth is, I can't quit
