Anyone here still trying to deny cigarettes don't have health consequences isn't worth talking too. Even the cigarete makers agree cihgarettes are bad for you.

Potential health risk
There is evidence that exposure to large doses can cause damage to the male reproductive glands. Direct exposure to pure acrylamide by inhalation, skin absorption, or eye contact irritates the exposed mucous membranes, e.g. the nose, and can also cause sweating, urinary incontinence, nausea, myalgia, speech disorders, numbness, paresthesia, and weakened legs and hands. In addition, the acrylamide monomer is a potent neurotoxin, causing the disassembly or rearrangement of intermediate filaments. Ingested acrylamide is metabolised to a chemically reactive epoxide, glycidamide.
Cancer
Acrylamide reliably produces various types of cancer in experimental mice and rats. However, studies in human populations have failed to produce consistent results, and it remains unclear whether this is due to a reduced risk in a natural setting or the methodological difficulties inherent in such studies. For example, it might be difficult to isolate the effects of acrylamide because it is so ubiquitous in Western diets. A Dutch study on 62000 women over an 11 year period has recently concluded that those who ingest more acrylamide in their regular diet are twice as likely to develop endometrial or ovarian cancer.

they do say ignorance is bliss so enjoy it while it lasts. ever heard the term "porn/sexual addiction"? addicts need help. help costs money. who should pay for that? the ones creating the porn, thats who! its their fault isnt it? sooner or later the industries ive listed in this thread WILL be targeted by corrupt government officials looking to vilify anyone and anything that goes against THEIR PERSONAL beliefs (usually based in religion) to fill budget shortfalls created by pork projects. maybe the shit they throw sticks, maybe it doesnt. id rather not give them the power in the first place but since you think they'll use that power responsibly ill just trust in your judgement. when i think about it, history HAS shown our government to do just that. show restraint in going after people and making objective decisions that are best for the country.
anyways, gatorb = assclown
this is boring. time for a bongrip
