Smoking!!!

It is alleged that Sir Walter Raleigh first imported the 'noxious weed' into Britain from America and the smoking habit swiftly caught on. Today, the tobacco industry brings employment to thousands in the various growing, picking, curing and manufacturing processes. Most of it comes from America, Turkey or the Balkans, but tobacco is shipped to factories for curing and manufacturing in almost every country in the world, although its ownership is shared between a few giant international institutions. Cigars, pipe tobacco, cigarettes, and snuff, vapes (another by-product) are subjected to government anti-smoking propaganda, a sharp decline in tobacco consumption is not desired by countries such as Britain, as it would result in an embarrassing financial loss.

Yet, despite all this, people go on smoking and perhaps it is only fair to put the case for smokers. If asked, a smoker would say that he enjoys the 'taste' of his cigarette, cigar, or pipe, but there is more to it than that. Life is busy and lived at a great pace nowadays. Nerves are easily pampered, tempers shortened, brains busy, but hands inactive. A cigarette soothes during that difficult interview, or making that important decision. It also helps concentration, and there may indeed be something in the idea of having the mouth and the hands active as well as the brain.

But the best advice about the smoking remains this. If you do, cut down; if you don't, don't start !

Government warning: cigarette smoking is hazardous to your health and mine..
