Making Friends with Tobacco?

Even though I have been tobacco free for almost thirty three years and a tobacco induced lung cancer survivor for almost 30 years I still remember vividly the way that I started my nicotine addiction.  Below is an invitation that should not be accepted by anyone but it needs to be presented, so here goes.

 

Making Friends with Tobacco?

 

Hi there, my name is tobacco, I am in cigarettes and I want to be your friend.  I know that you have seen me before being used by your Mom or Dad or maybe some of your other relatives or friends.  You know that you want to give me a try but you are not sure if you should or not.  It is all right.  I really want to be your friend.  I will go with you where ever you go and participate in everything that you do.  It will be fun and you will enjoy my company because I will be with you constantly.

 

You only need to try using me a few times and I will be your constant companion for life.  No kidding you will like being my friend and I will never leave your side.  I promise that if you give me a try for a couple of times you will find that you can not live without me.  

 

Let me tell how I work.  If you light me up and inhale my smoke I will give you a small boost of temporary happiness.  Besides looking cool, like the rest of the kids, when you use me I will temporarily make you happy, calm, relaxed and make you feel like you are in total control of yourself and your surroundings.  Each and every time that you use me I will take you, temporarily, to that happy, calm, relaxing place because there is a drug in me called nicotine that very rapidly stimulates your brain and makes you think that I am causing you, temporarily, to be happy, calm, relaxed and in control. 

 

However, I usually only tell you this after you and I have been friends for a long, long time, I am not being completely honest with you.  I am not the nice, gentle, loving friend that I pretend to be.  Remember me mentioning the drug that I called nicotine?  Well it is the ingredient that causes you to, temporarily, have that happy, calm, relaxing, in control feeling.  But the more that you smoke and take that nicotine into your system the more you have to have it.  After all it is a drug and those are some of the side effects of using it.

The more you smoke the more you have to smoke because nicotine takes control over you and your life.

 

Oh, and by the way, those temporary happy, calming, relaxing and being in control feelings are just that, temporary.  The more nicotine you use the shorter period of time that good feeling lasts.  As a matter of fact you might say that my nicotine actually causes you to be irritable, anxious, uncomfortable and nervous and out of control because, truthfully, that is exactly what it does.  If you do not put nicotine into your system you will not have these terrible symptoms or side effects.  I forgot to tell you that there are other ingredients in my smoke that can cause cancer and many other illnesses and possibly even death.  But do not tell anyone about what I really do, let it be our little secret.

Remember it only takes a couple of times of using me and we will be together for the rest of your life.  Do you still want to be my friend?
