Pain Killer - Tumblr Posts

There's a very good reason for this. Nicotine, when smoked in cigarettes, is a very fast acting ant-depressant, ant-anxiety agent and pain killer all wrapped up in one nice convenient little package. In fact, it's so good at these things that, during WWII, the U.S. Army promoted smoking and issued free cartons of cigarettes to soldiers. Cigarettes were also standard issue in the medic's kit. When a soldier was wounded, the first thing the medic would do is throw a cigarette in their mouth. So, it's really no wonder that people smoke cigarettes.
