What he is trying to say is true and is the basic principle of toxicology - "Mere exposure does not equate to toxicity; it's the dose that makes the poison"

I don't know anyone addicted to applesauce.

[anthonywbrown]

I knew that you were going to make that point. What happened to your dose theory?

This is quite a touchy subject in my house...my father had to go into rehab for apple sauce addiction...

As many posts have shown, some smart ass will come in here with a know it all trained monkey attitude, and declair it's not the companies fault, it's the buyers fault. Even though the company laced the cigs with addictive chems. You would think all this trouble would stop the companies from adding more bad things, after publicly being exposed with their own company records. But no. Now they add (wood glue) on the cig papers, ( for smokers fire safety), but screw their lives and health.

@sgthobbes2 No. He is to blame. Where have you been? Just 10 years ago, their company research documents were confiscated. It's why the USA government added a special tax. Those lives are ruined because this company not only knowingly made the product addictive with special chemicals, they had scientists bio-engineering the tobacco. Their OWN DOCUMENTS shown they knew it was lethal, it would harm your health, it would kill you, they documented their own criminal activity.

@sgthobbes2 My Nan was very old when she last took those cigarettes. Do you really think she could just stop taking those disgusting products. The only thing that stopped her was shock after she began coughing blood up. A women her age still taking those disgusting cigs that produced tar on her lungs. Revolting.

@kulan2 don't blame him

those marriages and children's lives are ruined because people bought his product

not because he made this product.

[kulan2]

This guy is a murderer. How many people has he killed with his products, How many marriages has he destroyed, how many children's lives has he ruined. My Nan used to smoke. Thankfully she gave it up but it is people like this guy who were responsible for destroying her lungs.

@kindofmagicmike I think we are saying the same thing, basically.

[kindofmagicmike]

@inijames

it doesn't always matter what you burn and inhale, C6H12 and CH3 both burn to form the same products, likewise many things burn to form the same or at least some of the same products. However, I am not refuting any of the evidence that smoking tobacco is terrible for your health.

I think this guy meant if you smoke too much applesauce, you'll get cancer and die.
