About Quitting

Each year, stringent controls and information are aggressively published & related in various news media and the following was one such activity throughout the world.And so it depicts the pictures that are now printed on every pack of cigarettes,to remind the public the dangers of smoking.

But yet, is this effecting the way people smokes
or is it getting unpopular?
Are cigarette sales dropping?
Are youngsters shunning away from it all?
Or is it the curiosity kills the cat syndrome still prevails?

From my moving around public places and night joints,
I find that these days girls and women are getting more involved.

Probably just pure balance of the males & females attitudes.
Where the west & europeans are trying hard to quit,
some Asians are also trying, but it has yet to be effective!
SMOKES still gets in your eyes!
Meantime, stay smokefree and if you are still in it, go slow!
Wishing you the pinkest of HEALTH!

The basic FACTS of Cigarettes

Before we even talk about cigarettes, there is one first fact that we MUST take cautious care to know - the harmful contents. Though these days cigarette companies are forced by the government to state this CAUTION on the boxes, I believe many will just not take heed to what it is trying to relate. Smokers just wanna get on with the smoking!

And for this, I can understand. It's a kind of addiction rather than an ignorance. It is believed but it ain't a acceptance. Haha! It can also be just habitual and Itchy fingers!

However, then one would asked in amaze and disbelieve that how is it that such a small stick of cigarette will need such a amount of ingredients to produce? Ain't it more troublesome than it is so hazardass???

Well, whatever the story tells or what the government is trying to say on one hand while allowing the sales to increase ( especially more brands are being allowed! ), this END will seemingly NEVER going to happen. Not with the younger generations nor in a very near future. Even though the kids these days would say, urrgh, daddy ( or even mummy ), " the cigarette is very smelly and sticks!"

The numerous campaigns rocked out into the public has proven futile! Ugly pictures on the boxes isn't quite too deterrent anyway. And with the imposing of increased taxes now and then will only increase the market stake of the contraband sales! Well, for this instance I am seeing more and collecting more!

It's only happy collection to my hobby! And I thought so that I'll get limitations to the ugly appearance of the boxes.

Anyway, the following is a cut out from one newspaper advice quite some years back. 
Just FYI. Will be seeing you around on my cigarette collections and info galore.......
another summary.

See you soon and if smoke, SMOKE safe, be SAFE! Stay healthy!
