One. Here I'll help, trans fats, Two. Your falling behind, cigarettes are still beating you on the amount of deadly chemicals, most being completely useless.
Cigarettes contain nearly 4,000 different man made chemicals and additives! [SIZE=2][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][/SIZE]

[SIZE=2] Polonium: Cancer-causing radioactive element[/SIZE]
The C.D.C. also reports that American cigarettes contain higher levels of cancer chemicals than foreign cigarettes do. Why is this?!
After researching about cigarettes and the dangers they cause, I cannot believe at how dangerous they are! WTF?! Every time you suck in a cigarette, you take off 5 seconds of your life. And every suck you take from a cigarette, you put ALL of these deadly chemicals into your body, which is slowly killing after every breath you take from smoking and when you release the smoke, of which the visible smoke you see coming out of a person's mouth and nose, that's only 5-8% of all the smoke that comes from smoking, the remaining 92-95% stays in your body. And when you release the smoke, other people around you get exposed to that and you are endangering their health and maybe slowly damaging and killing their bodies.
I now regret all of those years of my childhood when I was at my Grandparent's house everyday after school. My Grandma was a heavy smoker and she used to smoke in the living room and I would sit there too, unaware about the dangers of it. While she smoke, the living room would get filled with smoke and I would breath that in. She smoked about half a pack to one pack of cigarettes a day and now my body has probably been damaged by all that secondhand smoke.
I can't believe that something like this is even legal, they're practically poison death sticks, for all I know.
Ah, but look at the billions in federal tobacco taxes that flow to the government by keeping them legal and by controlling who may manufacture and distribute them...sort of like alcohol and firearms.
These types of government regulations of products, when abused by citzens, can have deadly consequences, rake in more $$ than most can fathom.
Can you explain the libby logic behind you being able to legally smoke pot indoors in pot smoking places (some allow you to s moke on premises) but you have to go outside to smoke a cigarette? What could be the logic behind that given tar is tar?
I can tell you one thing that is pretty useless in this forum.
Lets stay on topic shall we. If you don't like me, don't respond to my posts. If you have something constructive to say go for it, but don't expect people just to take it and leave it at that. There is a thing that goes on here called debate. It helps keep the forum alive and running. If every thread started out with a statement that couldn't be argued this wouldn't be an interesting place to be.
Second-hand radiation? LOL I have a feeling your serious, but I hope not, you wouldn't by any chance have any facts that show how harmful second hand radiation is from cell phones LOL.
Well, you didn't confront the topic of your contradiction (rather, you deflected it). You really can't expect any credibility when you are using an argument that condemns your stance.
As for the radiation thing: studies are downplayed by cell phone companies just as studies were downplayed by big tobacco companies. If you're really interested, you can search the info out. It's hard to find, but it's there and interestingly, it's constantly written off as loony even though it's valid scientific research. Remember, big tobacco suppressed study results as long as they could, too. I'll just bet you that if cell phones studies conclusively proved that cell phone radiation was a danger, you would be unwilling to stop using them for the good of humanity. And I'll bet you'd fight a move to make them illegal. Hypothetical, of course, but the difference is that this criminalization would directly affect your life. And we can't have that.

You think food is limited to the ingredients limited on the package?
If someone did an analysis on a pack of hotdogs to get all of the chemical compounds, it would look just like that of tobacco, with addition of pig anus and lips.
