herbal_hindsight Posted January 28, 2011 What are people's thoughts on this ? In Short :Cigarette smoke contains physically addictive beta-carbolines, and so does prepared food. And extra addictive substances are added to cigarettes, as well as to food products too ; when you quit smoking, the loss of addictive substances from cigarettes is compensated by consuming more prepared food, making you gain weight. (see diet suggestions) Cigarette smoke contains mutagenic heterocyclic amines, and so does prepared food. Cigarettes can be lethal, but prepared food is even more lethal, because it is absorbed in greater quantities. Cigarette companies have to pay billions of dollars. How about the food manufacturers ?
