Poison
The tobacco companies are legalized drug pushers, from cigarettes to other forms of tobacco. Since smoking has become taboo, they have introduced a new smokeless nicotine product to feed the addicts. Nicotine is highly addictive comparable to heroine and cocaine. The companies push that since it's smokeless that it is harmless.
The truth is that nicotine raises blood pressure, narrows blood vessels, and leads to the hardening of arteries potentially causing heart attacks. Nicotine can destroy your oral health and cause ulcers and tooth decay. And your mouth is the gateway to health where our food enters our bodies.
We all have things that we are drawn to whether it's food, drink, substances, gambling, or other activities. The first step is self awareness. If you find yourself indulging excessively in any of these activities and you can't self correct, ask for help whether it's from a friend, a parent, or some other resource. Many people have encountered the same struggles and have overcome them. Help is out there.
When we are young we think we are invincible and that we will never get older, but remember you have a bright future and your health is paramount. The companies that sell and market these products are expert at hooking people without any regard to your personal well being. When a parent or friend notices your behavior take it as a caring gesture.
And remember with God all things are possible. A little prayer asking for the Lord's help can go along way to helping your overcome any obstacle.
With Love,
