Does the U.S. Military policy encourage smoking cigarettes?

Statistics show that many of the tobacco users in the military DID NOT SMOKE before they entered the service. Over 40 percent surveyed said cigarettes are available at installations. This costs the Dept. of Defense about 1.6 BILLION DOLLARS per year for extra medical care, hospitalization and lost days of work.

Dragging "once in a while" smokers into the "pack-a-day misery" is big business. Do you think Big Tobacco cares if you're in the military or not? Do you think Big Tobacco cares if you're 17 years old or 50? Do you think Marlboro, Camel, Winston and Merit care if you're serving in the Middle East and you can't quit smoking cigarettes? They're too busy making money, not saving lives. Big Tobacco has been engaged in unethical marketing for decades. Joe Camel was marketed at kids. Doctors used to recommend Camel cigarettes in 1930s advertisements.


What happens when you mix 4,000 chemicals with PRESCRIPTION medication? What happens when the ammonia and the pesticide mix with medications? Do they sweat out those toxins during the most serious "fight or flight" situations? Aren't those toxins swimming around in their blood, affecting moods, thought, and motivation during situations which require the ultimate mental clarity? You bet they are.

In fact, use of prescription "psychotropics" has skyrocketed among U.S. military personnel in recent years, according to an investigation by Military Times.

At least 17 percent of active-duty military personnel are currently taking an antidepressant, including as many as six percent of all deployed troops.

50 percent of smokers want to quit but don't know how. So many smokers want to quit, and are ready to quit, but have no idea how. You can make up your mind you want to climb a mountain, but without the gear and the guidance, good luck.

Quitting the third most powerful drug addiction in the world requires help for more than 95 percent of smokers. Only five percent on average can quit cold turkey and stick it out more than six months. That is a fact. Even the programs offered by many hospitals do not address the secret to staying off cigarettes longer than six months. Many of those programs require four weeks of classes, which just isn't very feasible. (http://ebm.rsmjournals.com/content/227/7/445.full) Plus, medications like Chantix and Zyban are very dangerous because they not only block the brain's receptors to nicotine, but they also block dopamine, which the central nervous system needs for "fight or flight" hormones to work properly. This is why "feelings of suicide" and "suicide" are listed as "side effects" of these cessation pills. Compound all that with PTSD and what do you have?
