FROM the genesis of humankind, long before the inception of the auto-mechanical and the nuclear industries, when there was the tobacco plant and the smoking of its dry leaves, people’s lifespan used to be in the centuries; up to 969 years (Methuselah-Gen. 5:27).

There was no cancer and the other deadly conditions that affect the human body which are so prevalent today.

However, as humankind became more self-serving and sophisticated, and since the inception of oil and petrol and the auto-mechanical industries that produce the more deadly carbon monoxide that saturated and polluted the atmosphere uncontrollably, followed by the uranium and nuclear industries that produce the nuclear waste from which emits the most deadly radiation which contaminates the human environment (the atmosphere, the sea and the land), the lifespan of humankind currently stands at plus or minus 70 years.

Humankind refused to use the safe sources of energy from the sun, water and the wind and thereupon brought up the oil and the uranium to the safe environment of the Earth as the main sources of energy.

Apart from the millions of humans who died by such wars of chemical weapons (radiation, nerve gas and carbon monoxide) the wastes from the unearthed sources of energy of oil and uranium that permanently saturated and polluted the atmosphere, surface and underground water and the entire human environment, created deadly conditions of air-borne, water-borne and land-borne conditions. These deadly conditions, in consistent battle against the overworked and weakened immune systems, resulted in the development of the many types of cancer and the many other deadly incurable diseases that affect the human bodies and greatly shortened the lifespan of humans.

Therefore, the development of the incurable diseases in the human body would not have happened and the lifespan of humans would not have been shortened, if the immune system had not been overworked and weakened, in consistent battle for defence against the deadly foreign substances that consistently invade the body from the polluted human environment.

Consequently, in the atomic and currently the digital age, we chose to do things faster and for such, ignored the safe energies of the sun, water and the wind for the energies of oil and uranium; that resulted in humans not only doing things faster, but are moving at greater velocity into death.

Whatever are your positions and specialties in medical science, brushing under the carpet the more deadly carbon monoxide from the combustion of the auto mechanical industries and the most deadly radiation of nuclear waste from the nuclear industries; that polluted the once pure environment for the sustenance of life, and painting and framing their destruction of the human bodies and environment on the least deadly smoking of tobacco, is deceiving and misleading humanity.

It is wrong to compare the more deadly carbon monoxide from the combustion system of the auto- mechanical industries and the most deadly radiation from the proliferation of nuclear waste from the nuclear industries (that polluted the atmosphere and consistently entered the lungs in a mixture with the oxygen) with the least deadly smoking of tobacco that periodically, in the mixture of carbon monoxide and radiation, enters the lungs.

Consequently, if a person should start the engine of an automobile in an enclosed garage and remains inside unprotected while the engine is going, within 30 minutes the person would be dead from inhalation of the poisonous and more deadly carbon monoxide.

Likewise in an enclosed garage, with a person unprotected inside, is exposed to radiation, the person would be dead in less than a minute. However, if a person, while working in the enclosed garage, continues with the smoking of tobacco for more than two hours when the garage is open, the person would be seen working while smoking the cigarette.

Conclusively, two countries at war do not use the smoke of tobacco to kill the enemies, but nuclear and or chemical weapons with radiation and nerve gas from the nuclear industries that are transported not by the energies of water, the wind or the sun, but by the innovative auto-mechanical industries.

Further, gas chambers are not satanically saturated with the smoke of tobacco to kill fellow humans, but with radiation and nerve gas that killed humans faster.

In light of understanding, think of the billions, if not trillions, of automobiles that are daily on the streets of the global community with engines going, the many aeroplanes that are daily in the sky with engines going, and the great ships that are daily on the oceans with engines going, the many factories with engines going daily and the many testing cities of nuclear and or chemical weapons of the

superpowers; with not only engines going daily, but the daily proliferation of nuclear waste. From them emit the more deadly carbon monoxide, other carbonic elements and the most deadly radiation that comprise the source of the consistent pollution of the atmosphere and the environment of life without control.

The smoking of tobacco as antidote against pellagra and its disturbing symptoms, by those affected with the disease, is the least (two per cent the most) and is no contaminant to the atmosphere. Such cannot be compared in quantum or danger to health, or cancer-causing agents to the human bodies and environment as the more deadly carbon monoxide the other deadly carbonic elements and the most deadly radiation from the proliferation of nuclear waste that polluted the atmosphere, the sea and the land.

Notwithstanding, with the pollution of the safe environment of life by the waste from the oil and the uranium, they are the chief causal factors to the development of the poisonous conditions that affect the human bodies, namely; the air-borne, water-borne and land-borne diseases; that over-worked and weakened the resistance of the immune system of the human bodies against the many harmful viruses in the atmosphere. This is based on the chosen life style of humans and especially of the rich and the famous and or the superpowers of world.

I need not mention the production of the hydrogen and atomic bombs, other chemical weapons and the chemical waste that constantly emit from such hidden factories. By the provocation of Japan that invaded the US territory of Pearl Harbour, the USA, in retaliation, attacked Japan with an atomic bomb and the lasting damage to the health of the human bodies is currently evident for observation; not only in Japan, but in other countries globally including the USA. Be reminded also of the Chernobol nuclear disaster and the more recent nuclear disaster in Japan. In such reasoning, it serves the purpose to take into consideration the reason why the United Nations (UN) and the current super powers of the world are so vigilant against the development of nuclear power by any other country of the global community.

Consequently, it is generally understood as classified information by the UN and the current superpowers, that anywhere in the world that the modern and innovative atomic bomb is dropped by any of the superpowers, it will not only destroy those that executed it against their enemies, but the total destruction of the lives of humans, the plants and animals on earth.

The smoking of tobacco that started from the genesis of man against pellagra is powerless to doing such destruction. Why then brush under the carpet the more deadly carbon monoxide, the other deadly carbonic elements and the most deadly radiation from the proliferation of nuclear waste; that polluted the environment of life and are the causal factors of the air-borne, water-borne and land-borne diseases, and the many viruses in the atmosphere that were harmless, but have become deadly to the human body (based on the modern lifestyle of humankinds) and attached their destruction of the human body on the least deadly smoking of tobacco; that is in existence from the genesis of man by those affected with pellagra.
