Cigarettes Are Evil…and delicious
JULY 6, 2012
Or should I say deliciously evil… I write this after having numerous smoking dreams last night. It must have been an alternate universe but in the dream I was outside smoking with my co-workers before school started. This would never happen, ever. Many of my co-workers are, however, closet smokers or former smokers that occasionally indulge.
Today, in between tackling my massive to-do list I contemplated buying some cigarettes. I haven’t bought cigarettes for myself in a very long time. There something about cigarette smoking that is so much more alluring than the other types of tobacco smoking I also enjoy. Both pipe and cigar smoke is more flavourful and pleasant tasting. I get a pleasant buzz from doing all three but I think what it comes down to is inhaling. I know some people can inhale pipe or cigar smoke… but I am not one of those people. Cigarettes are designed to make it easy for you to inhale thus making them far more efficient at delivering the drug.
I think my boyfriend gets my attraction to smoking. He offered me cigars last night and I turned them down. He turned to me and said, “You just want a cigarette, don’t
This study was designed to evaluate the correlation between the puff size (while smoking a cigarette) and the amount of nicotine being inhaled. The researchers wanted to see if there was compensation in puff volume, for the reduced nicotine yields. To provide an unbiased study, the yields and characteristics of tar, carbon monoxide, taste, and draw were all the same, while the nicotine content varied with different participants. There were high, medium, and low nicotine yields, with 24 participants, 14 male and 10 female. The study was done after an 8-10 period of abstaining from smoking.
Scouting has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I joined in the First grade as a tiger cub and I was super excited. I remember getting my uniform and wanting to wear it everywhere. I was so excited to be a part of it. I have grown up through scouting and can’t picture my life without it. It has shaped me into the man I am today. I am currently working on my Eagle Scout. I want to continue helping the troop even after I finish. I will be involved in scouting for the rest of my life.
When asking a typical cigarette smoker why he or she took up smoking, he or she is likely to answer by relating to the perceived relaxed condition that smoking inflicts on the consumer. Also, a great deal of individuals come to start smoking because they are pressured by people around them, especially during their adolescence years when they are vulnerable and when they consider that smoking makes a person "cooler". In an attempt to be accepted by a group that they like, adolescents are predisposed to taking on a series of harmful activities, as they are no longer interested in their wellbeing and as they only seek recognition. Parents are also important when considering smokers, as a person whose parents are active smokers is more likely to take up smoking at a certain

Yet, these cancer causing, teeth yellowing, bad breath causing cigarettes are still being smoked everyday by people all over the world. It used to be seen as cool to smoke and it seemed like everyone did it. Like a fashion fad, smoking cigarettes soon became out of style. People still smoke, but not as much as they used to.

However, once nicotine dependence is established, cues related to nicotine release become greatly influential in controlling self-administration behaviors. When a cigarette is smoked, about 80 percent of the inhaled nicotine is absorbed in the lungs. The American Lung Association reports that teens who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime find it hard to quit, even if they want to do so. Some teens will be addicted to smoking more quickly, and they experience cravings for nicotine quite soon after initiating cigarette use. Teens can also become addicted to the process of smoking, finding it difficult to even think about going through the day without the ability to unwrap a pack of cigarettes, flick open a lighter or hear the paper of the cigarette crackle with flame. Withdrawal symptoms like this can make it difficult, if not impossible, for teens to quit smoking on their own. They may simply feel as though they need cigarettes in order to feel happy and normal, and they may be unable to find a way to stop smoking without help.( David R. Francis “Dramatic Rise in Teenage Smoking,” 27 July 2010, National Bureau of Economic Research, Massachusetts.

Secondly, cigarettes smells is terrible. If you ever experience being near a smoker, you would understand what I mean. The smell of a cigarette encompasses and dominates all other neighboring smells and it lingers on clothes, walls, in your car and any of your possession. For instance, in the beginning of my youth, I had to struggle living with the scent of cigarettes. When my mom had to do overtime at the Hawaii State Hospital, my father would drop me and my siblings off to school. Hours after the car ride, my classmates would complain to me that they were still able to smell my father’s cigarettes lingering from my clothes. Although, some people don’t mind the smell, some people find the smell disgusting. Like, those some people who believes that the smell of cigarettes is terrible. I’ve always hated the smell of smoke, and have all my life had to fight off headaches because of secondhand

One of the largest issues today is adolescent smoking. According to a heath based website, nearly 90% of adult smokers start while they are still teens and they never intend to get hooked. They may start by bumming a cigarette or two from a friend at a party, and then go on to buying an occasional pack. Soon they realize that they can't go without that pack. They've gotten used to reaching for a cigarette first thing in the morning, after meals, or during any stressful time. They become addicted, both physically and psychologically. According to the American Lung Association, each day 6,000 children under the age of 18 smoke their first cigarette. Almost 2,000 of them will become regular smokers – that’s 757, 000 new smokers annually!
Geoffrey Chaucer, The Author of the Canterbury Tales, is known as the Father of English Literature and is one of the greatest English Poets of the Middle Ages. Chaucer was a soldier, a diplomat, a civil servant, and a courtier, enabling him to experience different aspects of each social ranking, which he demonstrated through his poetry. The Canterbury Tales, his most famous work, is a collection of short stories within a frame story, making for an interesting and memorable narrative about 29 pilgrims and their journey to Canterbury. Chaucer included a variation of personalities, which helped to define each of the social classes in The Middle Ages. Each character were to tell two tales on the journey to Canterbury and two tales returning from Canterbury. Chaucer portrays charitable characteristics through the Plowman and the Parson and opposite traits such as selfishness and corrupt behavior through the Monk, Manciple, Friar and Pardoner. Chaucer combined each social class to exemplify the differences of each character, whether charitable or selfish, which shed light to the discrepancy between how one acts versus how one is perceived.
