Smoke without Worry

Advances in Nanotechnology Lead to Healthy Cigarette

Nanotechnology has paved the way for a healthy cigarette -- one whose filter can absorb every impurity and release small doses of oxygen to the smoker, which doctors say will keep the smoker alive on average 5-10 years longer than a non-smoker.
This technology reportedly cost Big Tobacco $1-$2-billion dollars to develop and was years in the making. It is code-named "Last Laugh." It is expected to reap big rewards for Big Tobacco, which saw its fortunes decline dramatically when it was sued by several states in the '90s for malfeasance.
Essentially, the space-age filter is made of micro fibers, which can convert--or invert--toxins into pure oxygen. This has even health nuts taking notice.
"It will allow former smokers to return to their first love, smoking. It will allow lifelong non-smokers to finally puff up. It will allow us to market to grade-schoolers now," said Chief Technological Officer, Bill Wade.
"Really, the only thing about smoking that will stay the same is the smell," Wade said. "We found smokers are very nostalgic about the smell, so we didn't mess with it."
Wade said the smell of cigarettes will now be associated with "health" and "longevity," instead of the more negative associations of the past.

1st Life/Health

Two things in the past month have convinced me of the benefits of "alternative health."

1. When I fell off a 12' ladder and two days later was feeling no effects thanks to the healing power of massage.
2. Last week when I was sitting in a 130-degree truck (with chills) suffering the effects of the flu, then I got an injection of Chinese herbs from a Naturopath and within 6 hours I was 90% better. (If I'd gotten the shot at the onset of the flu I'm convinced it would have stopped it cold.)

Conventional medicine would have helped only slightly--if not at all--in these situations so I'm glad my curiosity won out. If you ever are in Florida and you want to see a lady doctor who knows what she's doing, check her out.
