CHRISTMAS Holiday with cigarettes

CHRISTMAS shoppers in USA are being warned to be on their guard for festive fakes after items worth £25,000 were seized in one week.

Trading Standards raids on markets and car boot sales have led to thousands of pounds worth of counterfeit goods including footwear, the latest DVDs and MP3 players, cigarettes, toys, and razor blades being seized.

The seizures include fakes of famous clothes brands including Nike, and latest film titles, including Beowulf and American Gangster.

Chief Trading Standards Officer Mr Jim Potts said: “Trading Standards have recently been given more powers to tackle counterfeits and bootlegs, and we aim to maintain a fair and safe trading environment by making Lancashire a no-go area for fakes.

“For those businesses who do abide by the law it is a real concern to see these traders are making money by offering shoddy products and avoiding the usual taxes levied on honest businesses.”

Smoking is hazardous for your health

 

40 years ago, in 1966, first appeared a frightening inscription on cigarette packs about the dangers of smoking.

Professionals believe that the slogan is the most inefficient social advertising in the world.

Nine Words “General Surgeon Warning: Smoking is hazardous for your health” occupied 4 - 5 % of the surface area of cigarette packets.

Experts on advertising say: this advertisement is so small even to read this slogan.

Sociological measurements in the EU countries have shown: the inscription and truth nobody reads.

To resolve this situation European Parliament and European committees decided to print on cigarette packs the pictures of damaged organs, such as rotten teeth or infected lungs. And to convince smokers about the real warning this picture occupied 40% of one side of cigarette packets.

Example is United States and Scandinavia, where in latest years there was an increase in number of smokers.

All progress has been made where the emphasis was not on a discouraging example, but there were bonuses promoted, which smokers received.

Self consumer basket during Clinton’s time was already full even without cigarettes.

Poor student got more pleasure from sport, sex and travel and increased his price than rush to get cigarettes or diet lunch and reduce his price.

When Bush began a campaign of premarital abstinence, many students returned to cigarettes and tight lunch. With this campaign they can’t travel with their girlfriend.

Social psychologists and doctors say in one voice: this horrible picture it is very inefficient.

An estimate made by sociologists say that up to half of doctors today are smoking. If your doctor is smoking how do expect not to smoke yourself.

Cigarettes and coffee protects brain


Smoking and consumption of coffee was somehow connected with declining risk of severe neurological development disorders-Parkinson’s disease.

This pattern was confirmed by New York scientists, who have taken more than learn to examine studies on the subject, which were published in academic journals in recent times.


This work was carried out under the direction of Karen Marder (Karen Marder) of Columbia University in New York. Scientists examined the data submitted in 48 studies related to Parkinson’s disease and smoking, and 13 studies, which focused on the connection with the use of this pathology coffee.

It turned out that cigarettes and coffee reduces the risk of developing the disease.


It has been reported that smokers for the risk of Parkinson’s disease was 60% lower. Less prone to the disease are those who smoke, but by the time the study leave. The habit of drinking coffee reduced the risk by an average of 30%. At the same time, women have the greatest effect was manifested in the moderate consumption of wine, and men were more supportive of large quantities of coffee.


According to scientists, the results do not mean that cigarettes and coffee protect against Parkinson’s disease. They have not been able to see a clear causal relationship.

Perhaps, as stated in an editorial commentary published on the Annals of Neurology performance, there are some common genetic mechanisms that determine the risk of disease and addiction to coffee and cigarettes.


In any event, as noted by the authors of this work, the positive effects of smoking are far outweighed by the negative impact on the development of cancer, heart disease, respiratory tract infections and overall mortality.

Nevertheless, understanding the mechanisms that underlie the relation of smoking and coffee consumption with Parkinson’s disease would help to find methods of treatment and prevention.

The Dutch made cigarettes harmless.

 

Dutch engineer Evert Vilbenk could not accept the ban on smoking in public places. He invented harmless to the surrounding high-tech cigarette without emitting smoke. It is anticipated that smokers will be able to use the invention in pubs and clubs in the UK.

Externally the new cigarette does not differ from normal.
But inside it contains chips, heating element, battery and capsule pure nicotine.
To light up a cigarette just brought it to the mouth. Sensors respond to touch the lips and cause of the whole mechanism.

A micro flow of hot air released pair of nicotine and smoker receives portion poison without concomitant substances, which are included in the classical-tar cigarettes and tobacco dust.
Chip is tracking process and duration of smoking, and a battery power.

Vilbenk said that he invented cigarettes not only prevents outsiders, because of the lack of smoke, but almost harmless. Traditional tobacco contain up to 300 additives, many of them have a negative impact on the smoker’s health.

But pure nicotine, which is found in nature, not only in tobacco leaves, but also found in tomatoes and sweet peppers, not dangerous except only direct hit in the blood, believes Vilbenk.
Selling cigarettes new generation will begin in London next year.

Cigarette and time

 

It is rather generalized category. Here we can mean any process of expectation, with the aim to while away the time with the help of a cigarette.

You can feel pleasure only from tobacco flavor. The process itself is directed to the human mentality.

In most cases people smoke exactly because of their physiological habit, standing in traffic jam, waiting for the train arrival and many other cases.

Have you noticed that the person who is always occupied with the work is not a smoker? He just does not have time to light a cigarette and to smoke it.

Cigarette and the bed

Hot bodies, twisted hands, the trembling light of TV set screen, quick breathing…

After sex you feel nice physical tiredness, which has to be removed. Tension in muscles…

After smoking a cigarette during 5 minutes you feel how your hands get cold – blood vessels contract, heart beats rhythmically, you relax.

When you feel the breath of your beloved lying next to you and you inhale the cigarette smoke – pleasure increases.
