For those of you wanting to kick that horrible smoking habit, you are now saved… by your iPhone?
Seems that another iPhone App is out there trying to better the world by helping you kick that smoking addiction. This application apparently comes equipped with direct links to live ‘quitline’ coaches via the National Cancer Institute.
Special thanks to Healthbolt – for pointing this one out.

Study reveals cancer culprits in tobacco smoke – Cancer- msnbc.com
This new study is trying to determine why some smokers develop cancer, and others don’t?
Really.
I don’t know about you, but isn’t this a tad misguided? Why in the world do we care if one type of ‘smoking’ is better than the other? Why do we care that one type of smoking is more likely to cause cancer than another?
The last time I checked regardless of your ‘smoking’ choice, the simple act and habit of smoking wasn’t healthy. There isn’t a single part of this habit that contributes anything positive to your overall health. Smoking does more than just contribute to the development of Cancer?
Tell me again why this study was done?

It’s no secret. For anyone who knows me, for anyone who has spoken with me, and for anyone who may have overheard me talking… I am 100% against smoking. (maybe 210%)
I have both personal and professional views on this subject, and each elicit the same response. What in the world is good/positive about smoking, and anything related to smoking?
Professionally I lost count on how many patients I have cared for that suffer from an endless list of horrible diseases that were the result of smoking.
Personally I have suffered great family loss at the hands of smoking’s effects on the human body.
I truly believe that knowledge IS your greatest asset and defense against a formidable opponent. So when ‘battling’ the world of ‘smoking’, you should know what the reality is. You should know what smoking does to you, to your health, to your family’s health, to the publics health. You should know everything there is to know about your actions, and the actions of others when you smoke.
No matter how gruesome.
No matter how visually and emotionally disturbing.

New Smoking Ads -Too Far or Not Far Enough? : Healthbolt -
Life is not a movie. Life cannot be lived through rose-colored glasses, no matter how much you try.
Life is tough. Reality has a harsh sense of humor. And REALITY always gets what it wants.
So when we the public is exposed to and shown the REALITY of smoking, why are some member of society upset and disturbed by what is REAL? Why are they not wanting to see the TRUTH?
Ignoring it doesn’t make it any less real.
Hiding it or not acknowledging it doesn’t change its cause and effect.
Shoving it in the corner or under the rug won’t stop it from happening.
Smoking’s and all the horrible reality that goes along with it is not something we advocates made up. We are simply sharing the information as it its.
Reality doesn’t care if you like it or not. It simply just IS.

So.
‘Poor lil smoker’??
Now that the federal tax on cigarettes how almost doubled, those who smoke and have to make the astronomical purchase are feeling abused?
The last time I checked, smoking was a choice.
You CHOOSE to smoke, and you CHOOSE to make the purchase.
It seems to me, with this tax increase, people are starting to re-evaluate their priorities.
Things that make you go hmm..

Is it just me?
But, when the sign says ‘NO SMOKING’, it means you’re not supposed to be smoking in the vicinity.
Or, when the sign says, ‘THIS IS A SMOKE FRE FACILITY’, it means there shouldn’t be any smoking paraphernalia visible.
Then why is it every time I attempt to enter these particular buildings my ‘breath-holding’ abilities are tested. I have to hold my breath as if I’m going under water to make it through the endless cloud of smoke that was produced by everyone smoking outside the entrance doors?
It’s a darn good thing smoking is not permitted in that building huh?
