Ralph's previous posts

I remember Ralph's main point about smoking,smoking cessation, that it is not a physical drug (nicotine) addiction,Herbal cigarettes, it is a psychological (habitual) addiction.Someone asked him how much the cigarette industry was paying him to say that.If a smoker has been convinced that he is a smoker because he is addicted to nicotine, it will give him the perfect scapegoat to remain a smoker, blame the cigarette industry and find it more diffficult to quit.If believing that makes it more difficult to quit, the cigarette industry WANTS HIM TO BELIEVE IT.They don't care why you THINK you smoke. Just keep smoking. They get sued, raise the price and still make a profit.There is also the people who sell nicotine replacement products. If people didn't believe they smoked because of nicotine addiction, they wouldn't have any customers.Ralph said that anyone who convinced smokers they were nicotine addicts is helping to fill the pockets of the cigarette manufacturers, and I have to agree with that.
