How long did you smoke for?
I first started in the late 1950s smoking cigarettes under a bridge that my buddy swiped from his grandmother's cartons. I mostly smoked cigars in the early 1960s to have an excuse to get out of the house (my mother hated the smell). By the late 1960s I was smoking cigarettes again. By the 1970s I was smoking multiple packs a day. I quit for a couple of years until my mother had a terrible motor accident which almost killed her and left her blind for life. The stress of the hospital waiting rooms led me to starting again. After a couple of years I quit again but got cocky and slipped back into smoking after stealing tokes from my girlfriend's cigarette. Soon I was hitting in every smoke she lit and she told me to fuck off and smoke my own. That was why I was so disgusted with myself for not figuring out that all I had to do was nothing. Pretty long then, but the story is similar with many smokers just the details will differ. But with persistent will to end it the end usually comes. Most give up but they also don't understand what what smoking takes away from you. Knowing how to repeat some information on negative impacts of smoking is not the same as understanding. On average the loss is 10 years, and besides length it is also a loss of a lot of health. It is one of the worst deals that one could make, it doesn't even make you feel good. Some are in denial as say yeah 10 years is not bad, but average means there are plenty of people that lose more like 20 years. And many years prior to that they have terrible health and a hard life.. Small amounts of alcohol daily have been shown to have significant health benefits.
I believe the latest info has it appearing that those benefits were illusory and that alcohol has no positive physical benefits. No amount of alcohol of any kind is healthy recent good studies have confirmed. Those media headlines from the past were based on junk quality studies. People need to remember just because something is a study that does not mean it actually tells us something.

...
In the 70's, 'R.J.Reinolds, hired scientists to investigate why Philip Morris was selling so much more... The same was done by other companies in the field,... when in 1989 they confirmed in a document that the secret of 'Mallboro' was ammonia... Ammonia acts, according to experts, by making the smoke less acidic, making nicotine free and lighter, easily absorbed by the lungs, reducing by more than 10 minutes, the time for the psychotropic effects of nicotine to act and be felt in the brain and body. Documents also show that Reynolds, the maker of Winston, began using ammonia in the 1950s, but did not incorporate it into the product until the 1970s, and Reynolds scientists found that PhilpMorris began using ammonia in 1965, increasing the additive until 1974, this period corresponds to the increase in sales of Philp Morris., , ____...
Thanks for this, I was aware they added something like 180 chemicals but never realized it actual they changed it to crack. So what years were the major brands switch to free basing?
Direct answer: The switch to ammonia “freebasing” of nicotine began with Philip Morris in the early 1960s (around 1965), expanded through the late 1960s and early 1970s, and by the mid‑1970s most major U.S. brands (including R.J. Reynolds’ Camel and Winston) had adopted the technique We never had a fucking chance with these cocksuckers pulling the strings.

Reynolds’ Camel and Winston) had adopted the technique We never had a fucking chance with these cocksuckers pulling the strings. I'm almost 100% sure it was the other way around, and the people at PhilipMorris were inspired by the method of adding ammonia to cocaine to produce crack, and then they thought the same for nicotine and it worked, the more you smoke the more you want to smoke, both for crack and for industrial cigarettes. ################################ = Because the substances are consumed by the body faster, and expelled faster as well, making the desire come faster, this happens differently when there is no ammonia added to tobacco, because it will take longer to be consumed by the body, therefore, bioavailability of this substance for a much longer period, however, in any case, nicotine and cocaine do not cease to cause dependence, and also, just to reinforce here, I never needed hospitalization to quit crack and cocaine, but it was very difficult among many comings and goings..., and also, I will really try to make more effort not to come here... the more you address each subject... And that instigates me... ... I need to take my bike and my tent and go out and be without internet for about six months, maybe I can quit this addiction of wanting to come here... but you don't help...,

No Freebasing coke and making crack was certainly started in the 80's. But the fact Cigarette companies were creating crack tobacco and swapping it for natural tobacco is what makes those pieces of shit deserve jail if not worse. It's disgusting these type of scumbags get to walk free and profit off of the misery they cause people because they are insulated by the almighty dollar.
