OR CAN IT HELP HURT?! ^_^ Read on…

Well, I will make a blog NOT about MS, and this is dedicated to someone and his friend.
So if you aern’t interested to read the next 300 words or so. Just click on the back button, or close this immediately in case you are afraid of something not about MS >_~

The warning has been given, but I think the blog is quite informative.

Anyways.

I quote: daRedEagle had a friend who supposedly died because of smoking.

His friend was a normal kid, just like anyone of us. But it seems that school and family and some of his friends put a huge amount of stress on him…

The result?

The need forAnti-stress stuff. So what are they?

Drugs of all types, cigarettes, cocain, types of weed. You name it.

It is ILLEGAL to take drugs. Drugs takes the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on the streets, in their homes, on bridges, on top of sky-scrapers, in alleys, Just about anywhere. And the death toll is Immense.

Unfortunately, daRedEagle’s friend was among them.
Let’s hope he rose up to the Pearlies shall we?

*A moment of remeberence.*

On the other hand, we have smoking.
Smoking isn’t Illegal but it can have grave consequences.
How many people you pass by on the streets, smoking?
They may not be necessarily adults, eh?

If you venture down alleys, you can actually find KIDS like you smoking, taking drugs, sticking substances in their skin, swallowing, sniffing stuff that could kill someone in a matter of minutes.

Should I spare the goreness?

On every pack of cigarettes there’s a HUGE warning:

Always of different types.

It can say, smoking can cause severe lung damage.
Pregant women should not smoke.
Smoking can cause severe BREATHING problems.
Smoking can cause severe disorders.

Do people care? for some… No.

Once someone starts, he usually Cannot stop.
Why is this?

Cigarettes and types of drugs all contain a substance named: Nictotine.
For some this may be familiar, it’s the name of the patch for smoking right?

When your body first absorbs the nicotine from any drugs, IT NEEDS MORE AFTER TO FUNCTION PROPERLY
Or else the brain will alert your body, saying “I need something in order to function properly!”

But actually, it was the nictotine that was damaging your body, corrupting your senses.

That’s why it is SO hard to quite smoking!

A human is a human, not a god He cannot stray from what he desires.

So if anyone offers you a cigarette, or anything malicious,

ask yourself these questions.

1. Is smoking going to help me to achieve my goals?

2. Is smoking going to solve my problems?

3. Is smoking going to erase my problems forever?

If you said no, to ANY of these questions. NEVER SMOKE.

Spread the Word

Be intelligent

Never take drugs

Spread the word everyone. This was dedicated to The Red Eagle and his friend, who sadly perished during the month of August, 2006. And all the other people that perished today.

Good Luck and spread the word.

Oh and I quote something really … depressing.

–Tobacco Free Sports – Play It Clean–

Global deception

What must you do to market a product that kills half of its regular users? What enticements must you resort to in order to addict those regular users early, sometimes as early as nine years old? How do you package death as life, disease as health and deadly addiction as the taste of freedom and a celebration of life?

Look no further than your nearest playground or that shirt on your favourite athlete’s back or the shoe, or the bag, or the jacket. Look no further than tobacco companies’ own documents that tell you how they promote tobacco in the playground to unsuspecting children. Compare these documents to the public relations spin that the tobacco companies regularly put out–their words don’t fit their actions.

In this attempted diversion is the deception. In the deception is disease and in one out of two cases, sure death. Tobacco kills. To replace those who die, the tobacco industry needs to recruit smokers around the world. Nothing is taboo — not even a forlorn sports ground where children gather to play.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says tobacco is a communicated disease — communicated through advertising and sponsorship. Perhaps the most pernicious form of that marketing pitch is to be found in stadia and sports arenas worldwide.

Tobacco companies pump millions of dollars every year into sponsoring sports events worldwide. In the United States alone, according to the Federal Trade Commission, the major domestic cigarette companies reported spending $113.6 million on sports and sporting events in 1999. In countries where direct tobacco advertising is banned by law, sponsorship of sports amounts to a cynical manipulation of national laws. Despite a federal ban on tobacco advertising on television, it is estimated that tobacco companies achieve the equivalent of more than $150 million in television advertising every year in the U.S. through their sponsorship of motor sports events.

Tobacco companies claim they are sponsoring sports out of a sense of philanthropic duty. Their internal documents, however, tell another story.

An internal R.J. Reynolds (the company is now owned by Japan Tobacco) memo from 1989 has this to say: ”We’re in the cigarette business. We’re not in the sports business. We use sports as an avenue for advertising our products. We can go into an area when we’re marketing an event, measure sales during an event and measure sales after the event, and see an increase in sales.”

That is no idle boast. When an Indian associate of the British American Tobacco group sponsored the Indian World Cup Cricket in 1996, a survey showed that smoking among Indian teenagers increased five-fold. There was also marked increase in false perceptions about athletic excellence and smoking.

The deception is for the public. The dollars are for the companies. And the death and disease burden is for countries to cope with. Tobacco companies know exactly how many smokers they can get for every dollar spent on advertising in the sports arena. ”We’re not handing out money for nothing. We have gone into this very thoroughly and the entire publicity is built around motor racing seen as a fast, exciting and trendy sport for the young and, if you like, the young at heart. That’s who we are aiming at in the local market and early indications are that we are on target,” said Gordon Watson, BAT official quoted in the South China Morning Post in 1984.

The company is on target, but so are the death rates. Some twenty years after that early addiction set in, new studies show that one-third of Chinese men currently under 29 years of age will die prematurely due to a tobacco-related disease. Of the 8.4 million tobacco deaths that will occur by 2020, seven out of ten will occur in the developing countries.

Zomg. That’s all I can say.

EVERYONE REMEMBER DON’T SMOKE!
or take drugs. It has terrible results, anywhere, anytime, anyhow.
