Cancer Free Cigarettes?
Wednesday. 2.20.08 2:52 am
Here is one very thought provoking idea, if cigarettes can be made to not become detrimental to health, would it more acceptable to society?

Everyone wants to put down cigarettes due to the health problems that it can cause. This is perfectly logical and understandable. But, with the new developments in gene replacements and biotechnology, in the near future, there might be a chance for cigarettes not to be detrimental to health anymore. It was once brought up that nicotine is not the cause of cancer or other health illness, but the other ingredients are. Cigarettes use fiberglass for its tips, and its tobacco contains carcinogenic ingredients. If these ingredients have been revised, chances are, cigarettes might come with anti-oxidants, vitamin c, and perhaps cancer prevention meds as well.

What would be our reaction to such a situation? Cigarette smokers will definitely try the new cigarette and if it tastes the same, the new cigarettes would be favored over the traditional brands.

How about those who recently quit? If it was for health reasons, they would probably now have an excuse to smoke again, it will make things easier to not quit.

More importantly, what will be the public opinion over healthy cigarettes? It would definitely be illogical for someone to go against the development of healthy cigarettes, as the primary purpose of stopping people from smoking was mainly due to health problems. Would you now let your child smoke if you know it does no bodily harm? Would you let it slide if you do find out your child smokes? If you are a non-smoker who is curious about how cigarettes feel in your body, would you now try it?

What if all we have now developed is a stereotyped impression that smoking is a vice, rather than understanding that the ingredients inside the cigarette is the problem, and not the cigarette itself, that if these ingredients were removed, the cigarette will enjoy its golden days again. Cigarettes were once enjoyed by a greater number of people.

Many tend to take certain core problems (cigarette ingredients that causes cancer) and judge it as a whole (and therefore cigarettes cause cancer) when it might be possible to eliminate the problem, and thus give the product its justice (healthy cigarettes).

What should be imparted is sometimes we tend to let go of the potential of a product because of the core problems that are part of it. There is a good chance to perhaps separate the problem from the product and give it the respect it does deserve.

Some other examples for this would be products made in China. We have all been victims to shoddy products when we actually have failed to realize that we are merely getting what we are paying for. If a Chinese company produces better products but for a higher price, our subconscious will dictate that the quality will still be shoddy because China cannot make good products.

I will leave this point with a slightly open end, with your thoughts now left to make its own reflection. It will be surprising to realize that there are many things in life that has similarities to the idea of healthy cigarettes.

The Fine Line Between Genius and Insanity
During the nocturnal hours of earthlings, with people either in moonlit vocations, alcohol cravings, or travelling through dreams, thoughts from an insomniac (like me) would be inputted in computers like these (quite an amusing little contraption) to try to twist little humanoid minds...
