Enjoy your cancer sticks. me at my computer right now. Sicks bitches are sick. Those poor dogs :( but but they’re just PUPPY DOGS!!!! cig companies make me sick anyway. this is just disturbing. I look this up to make sure this was true and it totally was. “In tobacco inhalation experiments, dogs, primates, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, lambs, chickens, rodents and other animals are mutilated, pumped full of nicotine and forced to inhale smoke. Dogs are forced to inhale cigarette smoke on mechanical ventilators. In one experiment, researchers cut holes in the throats of beagles’ and forced them to breathe concentrated cigarette smoke for an entire year. Other tests have involved inserting electrodes into dogs’ penises to measure the effect of cigarette smoke on sexual performance. Masks are strapped on to the faces of rats and mice while cigarette smoke is pumped directly into noses. Rhesus monkeys are confined to chairs with head devices, while being exposed to nicotine and caffeine to study effects on breathing.”  It seriously just keeps going on about what they did. That’s just a small sampling of the testing tobacco companies used to try to prove that their cigarettes were safe for human use. If you happen to be somebody who smokes. Try to find a way to quit. Just about everything that can go wrong in your body is made worse by smoking. Just like trying to do anything healthy for you body. It’s going to be hard to change that. But know just as you have support for losing weight, or fighting eating disorders, there is also the same support for you to quit smoking here on tumblr. I’m seriously crying right now. Smoking is a horrible habit to begin with and can cause irreversible health problems. My grandmother died of lung cancer after smoking for 60+ years. But THIS? As if one needed another reason to not/quit smoke/smoking. I’m not one to post these things on Tumblr… I don’t believe “guilt tripping” people is effective. But, I just imagined my sweet pup on one of those ventilators…and imagined my grandma in her last days…and I couldn’t not reblog. PLEASE stop smoking.  This almost made me cry. I hate smoking. And I hate that it’s something I do. This angers me.
