Reply #50: A very good and overlooked point

[The Bakery Wagon]

In the mid 90's I saw a program that detailed how name brand cigarettes are made and decided to switch to organic tobacco.

I started snuffing my hand rolled organic cigs in a separate ashtray, as any smoker knows that after a pack or so the bottom of the ashtray has to be scraped to clean it. Ugly stuff. (wish I had access to a GS/MS device- one day I'm going to have the money to send some of those scrapings from someone else's ashtray to have it analyzed.)

Anyway, I used that ashtray for NINE YEARS (before I retired it for evidence) and *never ever* had to scrape clingy stuff off the bottom. Now I didn't smoke that much, maybe a pack a week or something, but this is direct proof that these chemicals are definitely accumulating in the bottom of peoples lungs. Next time you're in the vicinity of a well used ashtray ask yourself why organic tobacco doesn't leave residue. And what exactly is it that builds up in ashtrays that "regular" (...) cigarette smokers use.

Oh yeah, the replacement ashtray (since 2005) hasn't had to be cleaned a *single time* either.

signed, a happy and proud part time smoker :D
