		<description><![CDATA[The tobacco industry certainly does not lack imagination or resources! She develops marketing tools tailored to each category of potential smokers. Latest find: the cigarette pack-shaped ... lipstick. The target is simple: women and girls, of course. The World Health Organization (WHO) rebels.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In many countries, &#8220;the act of smoking is hardly becoming for women, behavior &#8216;glamorous&#8217;,&#8221; says the WHO Regional Office for Europe. Worse, the cigarette would correspond more and more in the minds of some Europeans, a sign outside &#8220;of power.&#8221; And &#8220;this portrait done wrong by the industry, a smoking symbol of a takeover has an undeniable impact&#8221; on young women.</p>
<p> Despite some restrictions on advertising and smoking bans in public places, smoking seems to have more bright future. Indeed, in 40 of the 53 countries in the region, the shocking images are not mandatory. And no country &#8220;n&#8217;appose message of prevention on both sides of the packets. Yet what had been foreseen by the Framework Convention for the WHO tobacco control, &#8220;said the latter.</p>
<p> &#8220;This year, tobacco will kill nearly 6 million people worldwide. This is more than tuberculosis, HIV / AIDS and malaria combined. &#8220;An observation that falls unfortunately, in a deadly silence &#8230;.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Does lying make a marriage work?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p>Recently some friends stayed at our house. They have been married for over 40 years and appear to still like each other, which is sweet. They laugh at each other&rsquo;s jokes and have a similar sense of humor. She even asks him if he&rsquo;s hungry every half hour or so and if the answer is &ldquo;yes&rdquo; she makes him something. They have grown kids all of whom have found their way in life. So it appears that their marriage is perfect, except for one thing, she lies to him. It may not be a huge lie; she&rsquo;s not cheating on him, at least as far as I am aware. She smokes, and does it behind her husbands back. During the day she tells him that she is going for a walk, at night she waits till he&rsquo;s asleep.</p>
<p>Is this really the only way to make a marriage work? If your spouse disapproves of your behaviours and habits you should just hide them from him or her? It does not seem right to be married to someone for so long and to deceive them every single day.</p>
<p>I know that quitting smoking is difficult; there is your body&rsquo;s addiction to nicotine and your mental addiction to the behavior of smoking. It takes a lot of energy and willpower to quit, but it also takes a lot of energy and willpower to sneak around behind the back of someone you not only live with but share a bed and a family with. If someone can do that, then they can quit an addiction. Of course one would have to want to quit, and maybe that is the problem in this relationship. Maybe he wants her to be cigarette free and she does not want to be. In that case wouldn&rsquo;t it be better to be open about it? Wouldn&rsquo;t it be better to say, &ldquo;I know you don&rsquo;t like this but I do and I will continue doing it no matter what you say&rdquo;?&nbsp; Or is the lying better?&nbsp; Does one need to lie about some things for a relationship to last and to avoid constant arguments? Is lying what actually keeps the marriage going and happy for so long? Is it truly happy when so much lying is involved?&nbsp;</p></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why I dont believe in peer pressure.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I personally don&#8217;t believe in peer pressure. Why? Because everyone makes their own decisions whether they were talked into it or not. If they were talked into it then they LET themselves be talked into it. So they have only theirselves to blame.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; A lot of people say they got hooked on drugs or nictotine/cigarettes&nbsp;because they were &#8220;pressured.&#8221; But they made the choice to try it, so its just preposterous. Others say they had sex because they were pressured. Which really ticks me off because those people&nbsp;chose to do it, they weren&#8217;t forced. And if they were then of course it should be dealt with accordingly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; These people who use peer pressure as an excuse for their downfalls need to really get a reality check. They made the choice so they need to take up for what they&#8217;ve done.

		<description><![CDATA[It was a sad day when I discovered Obama was a smoker. I was a smoker myself but I didn't want him in the nicotine club. Smoking shortens the lives of smokers and, as Obama was such a figurehead of reason over the stupidity W Bush had endorsed, that his life could be cut short was not good.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That day was three years ago and since then I have managed to leave the nicotine club. It was difficult and extremely stressful but this time I have conquered my addiction. The method I used was dramatic. I took a course of the drug Champix which messes with your head. People who suffer from depression are not allowed to take it and two weeks in I realised why. As the Champix was doing a number on the receptors in my brain which were going hungry for my government sanctioned drug I was falling apart. I found myself crying, full of recriminations about matters and events that had happened in my past and I believed I was over.</p>

<p>Image via <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nicotine-2D-skeletal.png" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a></p>
<p>I was so lucky (in a very weird sense of the word lucky) though because the worse the situation became the easier it became to blame it all on nicotine and smoking cigarettes, also known as nicotine delivery systems. I resented that a whole industry had been in clover for years on the back of people like me. I was also lucky because I had the space in which I could give up smoking.</p>
<p><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Official_portrait_of_Barack_Obama.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2010/11/07/officialportraitofbarackobama_1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Image via <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Official_portrait_of_Barack_Obama.jpg" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>&nbsp;The kind face of Barack Obama</p>
<p>How the hell could Obama give up smoking? He was not going to have any space plus he was going to face the backlash of the Sarah Palin idiots and the Republicans. Moreover he was going to feel responsible for not alleviating people&#8217;s suffering quick enough because of the spiteful opposition he was having to deal with or attempt to. If I was Obama there was no way I could give up smoking with that much pressure and that lack of space. There&#8217;s no way I could begrudge him a cigarette.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Abortion </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;<img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2010/10/01/abortion_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Everyone has their opinions about abortion; it&rsquo;s a touchy subject. But nonetheless, it is a subject that most people would not like for others to get involved in, speaking of those that are going through with the procedure. If I were a female that was getting the procedure done, I&rsquo;d already feel bad about it. I wouldn&rsquo;t need any protesters there, telling me that abortion is bad. My day is a horrid one as it is without you screaming like a lunatic outside of the abortion clinic.</p>
<p>It has a lot to do with religion, apparently. Indifferently, you wouldn&rsquo;t go up to someone that believes in a different god than your own, would you? Unless you&rsquo;re a bible thumper or a religious fanatic. And crazy. If you believe in letting people praise whatever god they want, then the choice of abortion should be left to the people that are deciding to have it, not the freaks screaming outside of the clinic. It&rsquo;s not your business, stay out of it.</p>
<p>The only other options the baby will face is growing up with only one parent that does a terrible job from lack of care, and then that child turns into just another junkie crackhead that society doesn&rsquo;t need, and can do without. I&rsquo;m positive that there are exceptions, but as a sacrifice for the greater good, it&rsquo;s best not to raise it with no love and care, and it&rsquo;s even more kind of you to not let it rot in an orphanage with few chances of getting adopted.</p>
<p><strong>Lowering the Drinking Age</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2010/10/01/alcohol_2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>There really isn&rsquo;t much to say here besides that the better part of 90% of the people complaining about the age limit to get your booze on, already drink. Stop whining about the drinking age, because if you really wanted to drink you could just ask, or even pay, someone over the ripe age of twenty-one to buy you the alcohol, or whatever you may be drinking.</p>
<p><strong>Putting Warning Labels and Pictures on Packs of Cigarettes</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2010/10/01/smoking_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Yet another common case of It&rsquo;s-not-your-place-to-decide and People-doing-it-already-know. That&rsquo;s right, I guarantee that every smoker, as well as nonsmoker, is very well aware of the dire consequences of inhaling death; there&rsquo;s no reason to put up pictures and big warnings, we&rsquo;re not in pre-school. If you DO smoke while attending pre-school, I have to give you props, because you&rsquo;re one tough kid. Even the most corrupt public school systems teach children, at a pre-teen age, that smoking is terrible for you. It&rsquo;s state law to have a health class in middle school. Bottom line is that everyone knows how horrible smoking is, there&rsquo;s no need for unnecessary print.</p>
<p><strong>Sexism</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2010/10/01/sexism_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Most approach this subject wrong. Why? Because everyone always assumes that men and women are equal, because they are not. Now before you jump at my throat for offending your gender, consider me as a messenger; an informer. I&rsquo;m merely presenting the facts as they are obviously present.</p>
<p>Women, for starters, are weaker than men. Don&rsquo;t get mad at the truth. The average man can pull up his own weight, and the average woman cannot. And I guarantee that, in a fight, a man could pulverize a woman nine out of ten times.</p>
<p>Although men have much more brute force, they lack in the areas of emotion. Females are scientifically known (and proven) to be more emotional than males. Check it:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livescience.com/health/060419_brain_wiring.html" target="_blank">http://www.livescience.com/health/060419_brain_wiring.html</a></p>
<p>We are wired differently, and we function distinctly according with our gender. These are facts, not opinions. So next time someone attacks your for being &ldquo;sexist,&rdquo; tell them these are facts, not moronic thoughts.</p>
<p><strong>Death Penalty</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2010/10/01/death-penalty_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Death is such a touchy subject for most when it really shouldn&rsquo;t be. As a society, we proactively believe that a man should be innocent until proven guilty. When it so happens that he is found guilty and is sentenced to death, people complain and feel bad. Well quit your whining, because there are some places that are much worse.</p>
<p>In many countries, mostly South American ones, there are many random drug tests that virtually every resident of the said country has to take. These are especially popular where cocaine is grown and harvested. And IF it so happens that even the slightest trace of an illegal narcotic is found in your body, you get shot on the spot. Shot and killed. Regardless of age, gender or race, it&rsquo;s all the same thing: Bullet to the head. And if one tries to resist, the big men with scary guns threaten to kill your entire family. There is no complicated court system, no excuses, just one pull of the trigger if you&rsquo;re caught with illegal narcotics within your system; in many states, this would be a night in prison and two to three months of mandatory group therapy for druggies. Consider yourself lucky.</p>
<p><strong>Global Warming</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2010/10/01/global-warming_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Quit trying to stop it, because it doesn&rsquo;t make a difference. Watch the discovery channel once in the while, people. If you did/do, you&rsquo;d know that we&rsquo;re in between ice ages, and once the next one comes, the planet will be restored, and all of the damage we&rsquo;ve done will be undone. Stop wasting your time trying to convince someone to pick up one measly piece of trash, you piece of trash.</p>
<p>You really want to make a difference? Then go buy a gun, go to the most populated area you can think of, and start firing wildly into the crowd, trying to take as many strangers out as possible. Once you&rsquo;re done with that, put the barrel in your mouth and pull the trigger.</p>
<p>What all this means is, humans are destroying the environments, humans are causing global warming, humans are making every other species go extinct, and humans are the biggest parasite on this big blue marble. The only way to make a difference is to disappear, to die off, but we&rsquo;re all too selfish for our survival to care about anything else but ourselves. Any person that hasn&rsquo;t committed suicide and cares about global warming and all of the other crap attached to it, I strongly advise you to do so; if you really care, that is.</p>
<p><strong>Wars</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;<img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2010/10/01/war_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>They&rsquo;re going to happen whether you like them or not; regardless of what you do, they&rsquo;ll still be there. The only action you can perform is a revolution; try overthrowing the government- maybe then you can take over and change the course of the country as you see fit. Good luck trying to not get assassinated.</p>
<p>There are so many random things that have no meaning that people still fight for. Instead of wasting your time protesting, you could be at work, saving for your child&rsquo;s college tuition. But you are so caring of everything else that you don&rsquo;t even tend to your own family&rsquo;s needs. Shame on you.</p>
<p><strong>Driving Age</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2010/10/01/driving_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Not much to say about it. Just hold your horses, you&rsquo;ll have the rest of your life to drive.</p>
<p><strong>Immigration</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2010/10/01/immigration_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Quit complaining, America was founded on emigrants. That means that somewhere down the line, your ancestors came here for opportunity, just like the sorry guy getting searched by border patrol.</p>
<p>Everyone believes in America, the land of opportunity, just as long as that opportunity is for them. Human rights only exist if you&rsquo;re from the U.S. of A; if you&rsquo;re not American, you&rsquo;re not human, apparently. That&rsquo;s probably where the term &ldquo;alien&rdquo; comes from, right? (Not really) Just because you are American does not make you better than the guy that wants to become an American. So you&rsquo;re a patriot, lover of the red, white and blue, alright, cool. Now take that pride and keep it to yourself, because trying to become a citizen of this country isn&rsquo;t anti-American or terrorist, like you always assume.</p>
<p><strong>Premarital Sex</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2010/10/01/sex_2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>This is a view largely based on religion, simply put. It&rsquo;s an understandable fear that if your son/daughter will be ramming or getting rammed, a &ldquo;mistake&rdquo; will happen. If you&rsquo;re in a similar situation, scroll back up top and read the section titled &ldquo;Abortion&rdquo;.</p>
<p>This is a conservative view; trying to keep things as they once were. Well if you follow that logic, you probably also believe that a woman should do nothing but stay at home all day, cook meals, wash clothing, clean, and have babies. That&rsquo;s called being sexist, FYI.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The times they are a-changin&rsquo;,&rdquo; Bob Dylan once sang. And as this is a fact that we all have to slowly embrace, it isn&rsquo;t the fact itself as much as the philosophical message it sends. The times are changing, that&rsquo;s why you should change with them. This might just be my opinion, but I wouldn&rsquo;t see much of a problem if a person finds &ldquo;The One,&rdquo; and truly believes that they will be together until death do they part.</p>
<p><strong>Other Subjects That You Should Avoid but Don&rsquo;t Have Much to Talk About</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Teaching      religion in schools.</li>
<li>Gay      marriage</li>
<li>Stem-Cell      Research</li>
<li>Your      imagination (joke)</li>
</ul>
<p>Just remember, whether it&rsquo;s abortion, legal ages, warning labels, global warming, sexism, death penalties, wars, immigration, or just sex in general, it usually isn&rsquo;t your place to judge or comment. Keep your mouth shut, your ears sewed, and your head turned, because probably over 90% of your conversation time could be better used to benefit you instead of making you lose hairs. Most of your societal outbursts are useless, and will most likely not change a single thing. Sometimes you just have to accept things for what they are, and get on with your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Draft of people for own destruction has no borders. Nicotine, narcotic substances and drinks containing alcohol are components of an arsenal for destruction of the population of the earth. Also that the most awful, danger doesn&#8217;t arise from the outside, the person of himself persistently and purposefully sends in a tomb. In aspiration to overcome these bad habits the industry медецины invents plasters replacing nicotine, psychological techniques, tablets &hellip; receives time victories and there and then it is necessary to realize the next defeat. And the reason essence &mdash; absence of desire at people to get rid of harmful habits. After all, as to much it is familiar, bad habits give the most greatest pleasure. That, if it is impossible to convince mankind to refuse pernicious pleasures, it is possible to try to give them pleasure which doesn&#8217;t put a damage to health. In the beginning of 21st century the similar problem puzzled scientific experts from the Gong-konga, and to 2003 г inventive company Ruyan Grup Ltd had been gave 1st in the world an electronic cigaret. On appearance this product of electronic technology is similar to a classical cigaret. And in all other components &mdash; cardinally differs. First, in an electronic cigaret there is no process of combustion and there is no tobacco. Proceeding from it is in lungs of the smoker harmful pitches with which so &#8220;exhaust&#8221; of the present cigaret is rich don&#8217;t take root. Teeth, fingers and hair electronic курца don&#8217;t become impregnated with a tobacco smell and don&#8217;t get a yellowish touch.

		<description><![CDATA[If you are a smoker of cigarettes, you might want to think about lighting your next cigarette. Not because it is damaging your health, but because of what it is doing to children constrained to work on tobacco plantations in Brazil. What a great taste of freedom from major tobacco brands!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brazil is the country with the highest tobacco export in the world. 774,000 tons of tobacco is produced every year, 70 percent of which is exported. There are 200,000 families involved in growing tobacco, and that&rsquo;s where problems start.</p>
<p>Getting the tobacco harvest in is a work intensive venture. To meet the tobacco companies&rsquo; required targets all family members irrespective of their age are required to work in it. Children as young as ten work all morning gathering in the harvest, take a school break in the afternoon, to come home and work again in the evening. The main harvest coincides with school holiday, meaning the children work all day without a break.</p>
<p>If this is not enough reason for you to see it as unreasonable, then maybe it&rsquo;s time you faced up to the realities of tobacco. Everybody knows that tobacco contains nicotine and not too little. What most people don&rsquo;t know or prefer others not to know is that nicotine can be absorbed into the body by the skin. And the skin&rsquo;s permeability gets higher when sweating. Working in the hot and humid climate of Brazil is therefore the ideal setting to absorb large quantities of nicotine.</p>
<p>The rate of absorption of nicotine has been measured to equal 20 cigarettes during four hours harvesting. If you would like your 10 year old child to smoke 40 cigarettes a day I tend to doubt. Why then make Brazilian children do it? This apart from submitting them to child labour seems paramount to murder by poisoning.</p>
<p>If nicotine is a trace element needed by our body, the principle of Paracelsus holds true that the quantity makes the poison. Nicotine is a highly potent poison affecting the nervous system inducing amongst many other symptoms depression. Knowing what harm three packs of cigarettes cause in a grown up, try to imagine what permanent harm is done by it to a child.</p>
<p>The Ministry for work states blankly that the tobacco industry is exploiting children. They are currently pursuing 18 cases against the big money bags which are blithely ignoring Brazilian law. By pressurising the families into contracts that can only be met when the children are pitching in, they are actively aiding and abetting child labour. Some people call this system free market, but it seems rather medieval to me.</p>
<p>Souza Cruz, the largest tobacco dealer in Brazil, is a 100 percent daughter company of BAT British American Tobacco. The responsible management blames the families for employing their own children. In politics, this would be called passing the bucket. It has not announced it will be altering its contracts to real production (as opposed o the present forced production forcing child labour) and seems content in its biblical self righteousness.</p>
<p>The case has been broadcast tonight in detail by <a href="http://www.sf.tv/" target="_blank"><u>Swiss Television</u></a>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How I would go about quit smoking.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you think about, smoking is the probably the most ignorant thing we can do to ourselves without being a complete psycho. Many people THINK that Nicotine gum is going to help people quit smoking, when in fact, all it does is make you want a cigarette. You taste the nicotine, you feel the nicotine, but nothing is being inhaled, and that fact gets on alot of people&#8217;s nerves.</p>
<p>The best way to quit smoking would probably have to be to quit cold Turkey. Wanting a cigarette is all in your head. If you don&#8217;t want to smoke anymore, simply don&#8217;t pick up the cigarette. It&#8217;s that simple, YOU control you brain, habits don&#8217;t. You have the option of what you want to do anytime of the day. So to say &#8220;I can&#8217;t stop smoking&#8221; is an excuse. I personally wouldn&#8217;t like to quit smoking, I enjoy the taste, and it makes me feel relaxed after I haven&#8217;t had one after a while.</p>
<p>Overall, smoking is bad, I know I&#8217;m being hypocritical, but hey, who isn&#8217;t?</p>
