Español "Crack nicotine"
The modern cigarette is to nicotine as crack is to cocaine. Crack's capacity to bring on cocaine addiction is due to the fact that vaporized cocaine reaches the brain more quickly. “Crack nicotine” in cigarettes, in the same way, reaches the brain more quickly, leading to a stronger dependence on nicotine.
“Ammonia key to Marlboro's success” – The Associated Press
“Free base” nicotine, or “Crack nicotine”, is obtained with ammonia technology, and it is a particularly potent form of nicotine because it is in a gaseous form and not combined.
“Ammonia is the secret of Marlboro’s success”… “Cigarette manufactures have manipulated nicotine”… “Philip Morris admits that it produces cigarettes that are more addictive”… These are not provocations of the Black Blocks, they are the titles of the most respectable American newspapers, like USA Today, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times.
“Without telling anyone, the tobacco companies have modified the chemistry of nicotine and generated subtle changes in the chemistry of the smoker’s brain. The idea of taking a product that is already addictive and strengthening it so that it will be even more addictive is extremely alarming. It is substantially an violation of one’s freedom to not smoke” - Clive Bates, Director of Action on Smoking and Health.
Big Tobacco led consumers to think they were smoking lighter cigarettes, while it was actually subjecting them to a product whose harmfulness had been reinforced.
Today a tobacco manufacturer who wants to use ammonia technology to change the chemistry of nicotine is free to do it, as the controls necessary to prevent him from doing so continue inexplicably to be absent.

I just came across some paperwork where your company owes me $94.20 for a shipment that was held up at JFK Airport in November 1904. My order #NRIP-0-2TLXUY. I last had contact with you on 8/16/05 from "Alessandra" stating that you were having problems processing REFUNDS and that you were trying to solve the problems ASAP. As you know, I DID NOT receive my shipment and as of today 9/24/10, I HAVE NOT received my credit..... Also, the credit card # you have on file for me is not in use any more. If you decide, by the goodness of your heart, to finally give me my REFUND, you would have to put it through to a new credit card number. You received my money, I DID NOT receive my merchandise ? ? ? ?
I sincerely would like to hear from your company.....
Thank you,

Same here, and the same applies for thousands and thousands of other Americans who never got a refund and never will.
I'd smoke anythin I can get my hands on because us stingy old Scottish folk can't afford cigarettes, All the butts on the street went a long time ago so instead I steal women and childrens dirty underwear oot the launderette, cut them up and smoke em in a bong for a lovely high, better than whizz or crack..aye lol
