[QUOTE="McDude, post: 112625, member: 183851"] I think the sad thing is that although the addictiveness of nicotine has come out (some cig companies still deny this) there has not really been much effort made by governments to force such companies to reduce or eliminate the amount of nicotine and for that matter all the other 300 or so chemicals that are added to the natural tobacco. Why is this? well firstly i think its because governments seem interested in how much money they can make from fag taxes and the second thing is probably due to the strong multinational cigarette lobbies that exist to put pressure on governments for minimum legislation. I am not putting the blame solely on the companies, every adult is responsible for their actions, but when you have a substance like nicotine which has been proven to be up to 100 times more addictive than cocaine (or heroin) can't remember which, and also works in the same way as these drugs by attaching to receptors in the brain and spinal cord, hence the cravings when their level reduces in the body, now how can you give up smoking so easily?
