Cigarettes, Lobbying, and Lacing. Is Tobacco Bad for You?

While cigarettes produced by the tobacco companies contain a vast amount of toxic chemicals, tobacco itself contains nicotine, which is still a harmful, psychoactive drug. It causes addiction and by that very reason it's harmful even if you, say, eat tobacco leaves. It damages the nervous system and the brain, same way as other drugs do.

But are those four substances actually MAO inhibitors? Can you demonstrate that?

I've already posted this information, except this time I googled all the titles for you. The last link for 'farnesol' shows you how to search for articles by their title.

I knew a girl that ran the MRI section in a hospital and she told me that 30% of people that smoke will die the rest will be OK, what they don't tell you about though is the combination of tarmac and rubber from car tyres which combine and cause microfine particles this is hidden from the public because it causes so much trouble in our bodies.
