Cigarette Smoking Effects
There are about 4000 different chemicals in a cigarette, all of which threaten to put an end to our lives. But, people enslaved to the snares of this grisly vice are more than happy at this deadly combination. For them it is this enormous variety of chemicals that makes cigarettes so addictive. The question lies in whether they can break away from the shackles or whether they prefer to soak in the delusion that their lungs are by god's grace, made of steel. Scientific evidence and escalating death counts proves how destructive these pencil shaped sticks are! It is a universal fact that "smoking kills". Regular smokers conveniently dismiss the snapshot of a deteriorating set of lungs on the front of each cigarette packet as they continue to inhale the whiffs of death. 200 of a cigarette's ingredients are definitely poisonous, and around 60 of them are carcinogens. If you are a smoker, and wish to evade its fierce effects, then quitting would be the most logical option. We're all aware of the possibilities of contracting lung cancer or emphysema, however did you know that heart disease is one of the leading causes of death for smokers worldwide? If you read on, you will be surprised at some of the ghastly effects of cigarette smoking.
Smoking Health Effects
- The prevalent content of cigarettes targets the haemoglobin in the red blood cells, and obstructs the cells from carrying the regular supply of oxygen to the rest of the body.
- Carcinogens present in cigarettes destroy the important genes in charge of our cell growth, thus causing them to grow very abnormally. Carcinogens such as benzo(a)pyrene binds to major organs and cells in the airways of most smokers.
- Excessive smoking ruins the smooth functioning of the immune system, and aggravates the chances of respiratory infection.
- Smoking causes the levels of antioxidants in our body to start plummeting rapidly. Antioxidants, as we know, are essential in rebuilding damaged cells and cigarettes deprive us of that as well.
- Strokes, intense nicotine withdrawal symptoms, and altered brain chemistry are some of the main mental effects caused by smoking.
- Smokers are more prone to maladies like macular degeneration, cataracts, thyroid disease, gum diseases and peripheral vascular diseases.
- Wrinkles, teeth discoloration and stains, lowered sense of taste and smell are unavoidable side-effects if you have been a smoking chimney for over five to ten years.
- The body tends to get rid of the poisonous fumes a smoker incorrigibly inhales in the form of what is called a "smokers cough". If you have smoked for a substantial length of time you will develop the smokers cough. The chemicals in the tobacco are often expelled from your lungs through the cough until your respiratory system grows weaker and weaker.
- If you love playing sports, you ought to stamp that cigarette a thousand times, and promise never to touch one again (unless the motive is to tear it into two). Smoking largely reduces your lung capacity, which makes it difficult to hold your breath for long durations. If you blow into a meter that tests your lung capacity then if you are a smoker, your attempt will dip way below average. You have a right to breathe, so don't let the cancer sticks steal it.
- Smoking blocks arteries and reduces blood flow. If coldness in your feet sounds familiar then that's the glitch in your blood circulation due to smoking.
- Wake up in the morning and your mouth is likely to feel dryer than the Sahara. The longer you smoke, the dryer it gets and your phlegm gets thicker by the minute.
- Asthma and tuberculosis patients will certainly have a close brush with death if they pursue smoking.
- Male smokers are prone to sperm deformity, loss of sperm motility, and lowered production. Risk of impotence is also quite high. In women, period pains and weakened immune system is common. Pregnant women who smoke have a higher risk of Ectopic pregnancy, premature rupture of the membranes, miscarriages and birth defects like congenital limb reduction.
- Cigarette smoking promotes oxidative stress which mutates DNA, promotes atherosclerosis, and leads to chronic lung injury. Oxidative stress is known to contribute to the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

http://drums-percussion.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ludwig-Steel-Shell-Snare-Drum?sku=447757
http://drums-percussion.musiciansfriend.com/product/Pearl-Piccolo-3-In-x-13-In-Steel-Snare-Drum?sku=447957
btw, i play just about everything but i primarily play reggae, rock , and funk
Well a piccolo drum is like it's namesake flute.
It's a very high pitched snare.
You are much better off with a regular snare with the deeper body.
you can always tune the regular snare up a bit to get the high snappy tone of a piccolo snare but can't use a piccolo snare to get a deeper rock or funk snare sound.

An Open Letter To Members Of The Liberty Movement
This is a Solutionism Network article
I don't know everything about surviving. There are many ways to do things. And I am still learning.
The most important thing while in a survival situation and especially a bug out situation is your mind. You must stay calm, confident and creative. Don't let yourself get panicked. Don't expect everything to be accomplished in a day. Always be thinking of new ways to use everything around you.(even trash) Don't give up especially when trying to start a fire, there is a reason why our species is the only one to have figured out how to start a fire so, don't be an impatient monkey.
There is an ancient native American teaching called the Rule Of Three Threes that covers the three things that are necessary to keep you alive.
1st 3: It takes about 3 hours to die from exposure. Including hypothermia and heatstroke. So your first priority is building some type of shelter. If you have nothing you can build a debris shelter from the things around you such as sticks, leaves and dirt. A proper debris shelter with enough stuff thrown on top of it can keep you warm and dry in a downpour in a Montana winter. I always at least carry a tarp and some string for a quick shelter. Tents are usually to bulky for on the run situations and ponchos are often to small and rip.
2nd 3: It takes about 3 days to die from lack of water. So your second priority is to find a safe water source. All water is contaminated with either pollutants or deadly microbes, so you need to either have some purification tablets, something to boil with or a good filter. If you have nothing you can make your own filter by poking wholes in the bottom of a bottle, layering in the bottle with gravel, sand, dirt, grass and char coal.(harder to say than show) You can boil water in a tin can or by burning a whole in a log like a bowl, filling the bowl with water, then taking hot rocks from the fire and boiling the water with the rocks in the log bowl.
3rd 3: It takes about 3 weeks to die from hunger. So your third priority is to find a food source. Your big spoiled American belly is going to be whining after a few hours so just ignore it, don't break the order and don't give up. There are many ways to find things to eat. You can eat most bugs though some carry diseases and parasites so cook them and remember this rule: If it is shinny, colorful, walks boldly out in the open, or stinks then don't eat it. Familiarize yourself with local edible plants, this is easier and more important than you think. Nobody can live long without eating plants and edible and medicinal plants are everywhere but be careful because the ones that will drop you dead on the spot are too. There are an unnameable amount of ways to get animal meat to eat such as: find it newly dead, set snare traps with wire, throw rocks or hard sticks, fish, kill it with a sling shot, or concealable gun, or a spear. First find water and that is usually where the food is close by. Use your imagination, that is your most important tool: the knowledge you attain before hand and the knowledge you create as you go with your brain.
Fire can be used anywhere throughout the process as needed. There are an unnameable amount of ways to start a fire. I always have either a flint striker or lighter but when those run out nothing is needed that nature will not provide. Fires can be started using the a magnifying glass, a Fresnel lens, bow and drill method, the hand drill method, the plow method and who knows what else. Fire starting is the hardest task so stay calm and keep trying. When things are wet, split logs with your knife and use the dry inside to start your fire with by shaving and splintering off the inside. You can never start to small with kindling for your fire.
Supposedly nothing is needed to survive but your brain and the knowledge inside it. Everything else is extra and extra weight to carry on the run. Until then if you are serious be watching bushcraft and wilderness survival videos on youtube such as the wildernessoutfitters channel and bushcraftonfire channel. Also get a few wild edible and medicinal plants books such as by Tom Brown, Linda Runyon and Delena Tull. If there is a crisis then everyone and their little dog too are going to be out hunting all the animals until they are all gone. If you want to survive past that then you need to learn the plants.
Some extra bulk that I would carry in my bag for example to think about:
A concealable gun, sling shot, tarp, 550 parachute cord, hat, poncho, belt, steel container, water purification tablets, tiny cook set or empty can, hatchet, knife with blade longer that 6 inches, knife shorter than 6 inches, folding saw, flash light, compass, soap, lighter, matches in water tight container, wetfire fire starting tender, flint striker, Fresnel lens, plant reference material and a gun.(BB guns don't count!)
I am comfortable at my level without all of these things except a good knife. There are men out there that need nothing at all because of the knowledge, skill, and mindset that they have built in their brain. Be always practicing and learning if you are serious. It does not take a genius to be calm and smart.
