Smoking is injurious to health

Brazil seems to have tried to take on smoking by its horns. They don't just tell you that cigarette smoking is injurious to health but also give you the proof. I got these pictures right off of the cigarette boxes themselves. Not that it has don't any good to the hardcore smokers but the new ones are taking the hint!!

If only the other countries would do the same. Even though I think its stupid when tobacco companies get sued by people who use tobacco, I have had to change my opinion on how the advertisements affect young minds. I was talking to a kid who quit smoking a couple of years back, seems his main motivation factor was seeing the Marlboro cowboy smoking a cigarette on a horseback. Brazil has banned smoking commercials for the past few years because of this reason.

I couldn't get a picture but I saw a warning with a dead fetus!

Chinese Domain Name - A key to your corporation promotion

To surf on Internet by using Chinese is the next wave to come. Now Chinese domain names can

be fully supported by most of the popular used browser such as, IE7.0, Firefox2.0 and

Netscape8.0. Chinese domain names now are now rapidly gaining acceptance and being used

among people. They are simple and easy to remember, rich in meanings, which can make your

brand and product promotion success!
Compared to the English domain names, Chinese domain names are much simpler to keep in mind

and fit closely to the Chinese habits.

For example, www.microsoft.com, the domain of Microsoft, is too long to promote its website

among the Chinese. However, the Chinese word ‘微軟’ is familiar to everyone in China. So,

to register ‘微軟.COM’ is much easier accepted by people speaking Chinese. What's more,

your brand name can be kept in mind without paying large amount money on advertising.
Chinese domain names are the ideal promotion tools of your products. If, all your products

have been registered with a Chinese domain name, it will go directly to your website as long

as someone types it on the browser address field. It will enhance your website visited

number. Hong Kong Ocean Park, the great example to prove, soar 25% after using a Chinese

domain name.

Domain names, like .CN(.中國), .com, .net, .sh, .io, .ac, .biz, .公司, .網絡, .hk, and .tw,

all can be registered in Chinese. Some well-known corporations have registered their Chinese

domain names. 寶馬.CN, 海爾.HK, 聯想.HK, 中國電信.TW, and 當當網.TW.

So what has the chinese got to do with your posting on the health warning!!!!..

Smoking is injurious to health, so is driving a car on the highways..use caution appropriately..It's not for everyone..hahaha..

What's the alternative to tobacco farmers around the globe and the thousands who are employed by Phillip Morris..hey, I am not justifying smoking, but I am just look at practical issues..

How long does one want to live? How healthy does one want to live? These are personal choices and as I say "choices have attached responsibilities to them" So make your choices wisely and take the responsibility..No point complaining..If only, I had listened, If only I had quit early..If only (fill in the gap)..

Ever talked to a mentally ill person lately, ask them if smoking calms their nerves and helps them control their delusions/hallucinations..sometimes they might tell you interesting facts of life that is not perceptible to the "normal" populations..

Smoking is a bad habit..depends on the crowd you hang out with..it is also considered 'sinful' as the body is the temple of the living God..Why do we have incense burnt in temples/churches? don't they give out a lot of smoke too...Has anyone studied the effects of that?? Ever tried to inhale from the end of a car's exhaust...Don't try it.. it will kill you instantaneously....Ok..I will quit preaching when I need to mend my ways..but couldn't resist the urge to respond as it is a passionate topic of mine (haha)..
