What if you swallowed chewing tobacco?
Gum is made of Flavor, corn syrup, and gum base. the gum base is what makes the gum chewy. All the ingredients of gum are digestible, except gum base. Gum base just simply passes through your system just like popcorn. It normally digests within a few days.
When people say it will sit in your stomach for seven years, it is incorrect. That is just an old wives-tail.
If you swallow chewing gum, it goes through your digestive tract whole until it is excreted as it cannot be digested.

Tobacco kills the lung region of the body. If you take the lungs of a person that doesn't smoke and then compare them to the lungs of someone who does smoke then you will see a big noticable difference. the lungs of the smoker will be alot darker and have tar built up all over them. Tobacco also tears away at your throat and can cause throat cancer. tobacco can hurt your taste buds and make your taste not as good. and just a tip: tobacco really causes and bad odor on the breath, hair, and clothes. If you are a non smoker than you really should not start smoking. It really is not a good idea and kills quickly. You have a 1 out of 10 chance of getting cancer if you smoke. - Ashley barba

Why is there a lot of tax on cigarettes?
It is unconstitutional. Same as taxes on many other things. But our leaders just keep making are government bigger and bigger, which means we get less and less freedom.
In the UK, around 85% of the price of cigarettes is tax and even higher in other countries. Isn't that excessive enough? Increasing the tax would increase the demand for (and supply of) counterfeit and smuggled cigarettes. It would also increase the demands to tax fizzy drinks, junk food and alcohol at the same level.
Besides, if nobody smoked, all those career prohibitionists in Tobacco Control would lose their lucrative "jobs for life".
How do you redeem Newport cigarette upc?
You can't, in June 2010 the FDA (I believe it was FDA) ruled cigarette companies can no longer offer merchandise in exchange for upc's from packs, or any other incentive that would encourage people to smoke.
It would seem that offering people coupons for cigarettes in exchange for the proofs of purchases from their already bought cigarettes encourages nonsmokers to start, that's American bureaucracy for you.

What are the names of chemicals are in tobacco?

Cigarettes contain about 4,000 different chemicals, many of which are harmful to the body. The 3 most well known ones are:
Nicotine
Nicotine is the addictive substance in tobacco smoke. It reaches the brain within 20 seconds and creates a dependency so that smokers become addicted.
Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide combines with the haemoglobin in red blood cells and so reduces the ability of the blood to carry oxygen. This puts extra strain on the circulatory system, and can cause an increased risk of heart disease and strokes.
Carcinogens
Carcinogens are substances that cause cancer. Tobacco smoke contains many carcinogens, including tar. Smoking increases the risk of lung cancer, mouth cancer and throat cancer.
Answer: It is difficult to quit smoking-even for those who are highly motivated. Mainly, this is because the nicotine in tobacco is a highly addictive drug. "In a ranking of the addictiveness of psycho-active drugs, nicotine was determined to be more addictive than heroin [and] cocaine," states WHO. Unlike heroin and cocaine, nicotine does not produce dramatic evidence of intoxication, so it is easy to underestimate its power. Yet the mild sense of euphoria it produces keeps most people smoking so as to experience the feeling repeatedly. Nicotine really does alter your mood; it does soothe anxiety. However, the tension the cigarette reduces is caused in part by the craving for nicotine itself.
Smokeless tobacco-such as chewing tobacco-can deliver more nicotine than cigarettes and contains more than 25 cancer-causing compounds that increase the user's risk of developing cancer of the throat and mouth. Cigarette smoke contains tar, consisting of over 4,000 chemicals. Of these chemicals, 43 are known to cause cancer. Among them are cyanide, benzene, wood alcohol, and acetylene (a fuel used in torches). Cigarette smoke also contains nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide, both poisonous gases. Its main active ingredient is nicotine, a highly addictive drug.
What type of cancer is caused by smokeless tobacco?
No!! Chewing tobacco isn't that bad. But if you "gutshot" or swallow your spit you could increase your chances of troat cancer or stomach cancer.

if you need to really clean; get lighter fluid; or such cleaning fluids; empty out all the butane by pressing down; the intake valve; do it repeatedly till such time you don't hear sound;
then wet down on facial tissue and wipe it down;
the flint lighter comes off; if you put it wrong; it wont spark; just rotate it; put it backward; then it works;
you can use any butane; no need to buy dupont butane; just need to have right fitting; colibri butane works; as well as hobby shop; supplied generic butane works as well;
burns the same; just needs right fitting; so buy one with multiple heads and cut to fit the size;
stopped buying them; used to be able to get it for dollar; or 1.50; at most 2.00 it got very expensive; so stopped buying them; now its $6.00 per cartridge; too expensive for my pocket;
if i do; i'd use it for show off; on date or such; short of that?; using 13oz $2.49 butane;
i just need to keep buying flint;
other flints don't work; dupont flints are narrower; so unless you want to spend time shaving it;

seem to have multiple chambers; so it will reach equilibrium;
good luck;

What is the value of a 1949 World Series program signed by Cy Young and Jackie Robinson?
A 1949 New York Yankees World Series program played at Yankee Stadium is worth about $175.-$200. in excellent - near/mint condition. A 1949 Brooklyn Dodgers World Series program played at Ebbets Field is worth $200.-$250. A Cy Young Jackie Robinson signed 1949 WS Program regardless of which, would probably sell in the neighborhood of $1,500. or more. There is no relation of Cy Young to the 1949 World Series and would not make a desirable item to display the signature, and could keep the price down. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signatures. As with all collectibles, condition is the most important factor of all providing that the item is authentic. With programs/scorecards the slightest flaws will bring the price down significantly. An exceptional mint condition scorecard could sell for more.
