There is a widely held view that giving foods high in sugar, such as candy, to children and adults can create a "sugar buzz" -- a period of hyperactivity. It turns out, though, that this is largely a myth. According to Duke University medical psychologist Richard Surwit, this myth like began during World War II when the U.S. government rationed food. According to Surwit, at the time there were sugar shortages and so the government told people that eating too much sugar contributed to hyperactivity.

- grown with radioactive commerical fertilizer
- flue-cured with/without sugar and yeast which seems to be bad
- companies have added tons of additives
if you stay away from cigarettes then you don't have to worry about stuff. but blaming the death of your father on smoking might just be making you feel better, it may not be the real truth. it seems its very common to blame EVERYTHING on smoking...when if you do a bit of research you quickly realize the whole "smoking is bad" mantra is not built on as solid evidence as you are led to believe.
i stand by my statement that moderate smoking of say, organic air-dried tobacco....cigars or cigarettes... is not really that bad for you...and can even be pro-health as far as stress is concerned.
personally i don't even smoke that much so I don't care.... I never have been addicted to american spirits...I even let myself smoke 3 times a day for 6 months to see if i would become addicted and I didn't. I just stopped. I'm sure if I was smoking the sugared cigarettes I would be a lot MORE addicted since I wouldn't be getting those super fast glucose hits...
And yes, I do think a lot of the addictiveness relates to sugar. Sugar is a really refined product in itself.. Do you know how many steps it takes to make sugar? And then think about smoking that. Smoking something into your lungs is like another refinement process of its own. You get to bypass the stomach and liver and go straight to the bloodstream. Thats why I compare it to crack. Obviously its not "CRACK" but u get my point I hope. Smoked sugar. Yum.
In my opinion, -THAT- is how the tobacco companies hook you. The sugar. And maybe some other additives they put in there, like chocolate or other things that have a quick effect when smoked.
