Cigarette and Addiction

Here's what we have coming along, Flavored Tobacco

The FDA just banned cigarettes with characterizing fruit and clove flavors. Is it a good thing?

Using fruit flavors in the marketing gives manufacturer another way to fool consumers into thinking that anything relate to fruit, fruity smell or taste, let it artificial is healthy. 

Here's what they make you think, that "the 21 Century consumers are brainless." But their target this time is young minds. They may be going after youths who easily dive into new trends. Flavored cigarettes may have special appeal for children too, the way candies do.  

Cigarettes have been marketed with the flavors like:  
An artificial or natural flavor (other than tobacco or menthol) or an herb or spice, including strawberry, grape, orange, clove, cinnamon, pineapple, vanilla, coconut, licorice, cocoa, chocolate, cherry, or coffee.

But the main component is tobacco. Parents should be aware of the dangers of flavored tobacco and other fruit flavor products being marketed today.

What's more, partying is the beginning of addiction. It's the breeding ground for a start on alcohol and drug use. It's a typical thing to do on many college campuses throughout the U.S.until some students find themselves in big trouble.

It's no longer a social tradition when you fall into a full-fledged addiction. Addiction is a lonely road into dependency and repeated abuse of a substance that ruin your moods, mess up your behavioral standards because it floats around in the brain, your brain.
