Er - no!!! I have COPD from mercury poisoning as a child - I've only just found this out!
Pinks Disease is due to mercury in teething powders in the late 40's/early 50's. I almost died.
However - the multiple vaccinations babies are now/or have been having lately contained mercury 'preservatives' - hence lots of autism, and very disturbed children.
It's best NOT to smoke if possible, but if you're ill with some nerve generative disease, a little oral 'medication' - not necessarily smoked - will probably be beneficial.
In years gone by, before the FDA 'Big Brother' clampdown, natural remedies included hemp oil - which eliminated cancers et al. The Big Pharma can't patent these things for profit, so hence the clampdowns...
Just like Monsanto and the senator wife of Monsanto 'clamping down' on organic farming/growing your own... a human right.
How sad does it get before WE ALL WAKE UP?
