In a study on lung cancer patients, 48% of subjects had quit smoking prior to diagnosis, usually easily, despite prior attempts. Lung cancer tumors secrete a substance that disrupts nicotine addiction, but the study was buried because scientists worried it would encourage people to keep smoking.

When I was going to college, I lived in a total hellhole during my Sophomore year.
The place was owned by a company that ran apartment complexes across town, but my 3-unit building was a special sort of nightmare. (It’s been torn down since then…).
But my landlords were THE WORST. I had to beg and plead with them to get even the smallest thing taken care of and the whole year really sucked.
Have you had a bad landlord before? Then these posts should look very familiar to you…
Because you really don’t have another choice.

ridiculous that so many landlords don’t allow dogs. i have kept this creature fed and healthy for six years but you’d rather rent to a gamer without pets?

Sounds like a plan!
Should convicts be allowed to vote? Uh…they are alive and…living in a democracy, right? What is the controversy?
If we want to take away the vote from people whose interests don't align with society at large, let's start with landlords.

I’ll do as I please in the kitchen, thank you very much.
just read a client's contract for them and the landlord has written a clause that bans "spices and oils" in all cooking. imagine thinking you had the right to ban flavour from someone's life

Having a really bad landlord really sucks.
On top of the normal, everyday stresses of life, it adds to the misery and makes coming home something that you dread instead of looking forward to.
And that sucks! Because your house or apartment is supposed to a comfortable place where you can decompress and get away from it all.
Here are some memes about dealing with shitty landlords that you’ll definitely enjoy.
If you’ve had or currently have a bad landlord, we feel your pain…

A writer named Victoria Barrett recently posed a very interesting question to people on Twitter and it started a thread that was very revealing about how people view money and possessions.
Here’s what Barrett asked the Twitter-verse.
Former poor kids: what are some things you have in your house that you *never* had as a kid, things your not-poor friends would never consider luxuries?
— Victoria Barrett (@victoriabwrites) January 20, 2020
Let’s see what people had to say.
Missing the essentials.
A few of mine are Kleenex, band-aids, ziplock bags, and paper towels.
— Victoria Barrett (@victoriabwrites) January 20, 2020
Sounds like it was tough.
Air conditioning, dishwasher, disposable stuff like paper towels to clean with instead of rags that were shirts or socks, ice maker, and I would add the tangential luxury of good grocery stores in an easy commute with good produce and international food.
— Lesley Carhart (@hacks4pancakes) January 20, 2020
Not the canned stuff.
Space heater, books not from the library, vegetables not from a can.
— Alan Heathcock (@alanheathcock) January 20, 2020
That must be a relief.
Certainty.
That my car will start.
That my toilet will flush.
That I can refill my meds.
That my card will be accepted.
That no one will come and take it all away.— Tony @ Setec Astronomy (@tony_bridges_el) January 20, 2020
They’re pretty important once you have them.
Hand towels. Ziplock bags. Slippers. A robe. Pillow shams. An ironing board. Mini blinds and curtains. https://t.co/6cSwa6WJDl
— Jess Piper (@EnglishTeach07) January 20, 2020
Using old napkins.
this thread is rough.
actual tissue paper was a big thing. i got sick a lot and my nose was constantly scabbed from using mcdonalds napkins. used those as TP too https://t.co/9FOEnxNsUv

Makes her want to cry.
Also, this is not a “thing,” per se, but having pets that you’re able to care for responsibly, spay/neuter, and tend to their veterinary needs. I think back at my childhood and it makes me want to cry.
— Martha (@marthakimes) January 20, 2020
Going hungry is no good.
Qtips. Kleenex. Hand soap right next to dish soap. Pillows. Dog treats. Matching socks without holes.
Enough food to last weeks. Shit like that is definitely a tell. The fact I keep a sleeping bag and camp pad in my car, that I bought because I can sleep in it if I need to.— Lauren Hough -BLM-ACAB (@laurenthehough) January 20, 2020
But not anymore…
Matching sheet sets on the beds and those matching pajama tops and bottoms (instead of wearing a random oversized t-shirt from an event or something as pajamas)
— DevorahBackman (@BackmanDevorah) January 20, 2020
And that every female should have.
Also, sanitary napkins and tampons. When I was homeless I used to use folded paper towels from public restrooms. Now I can afford to buy extras for my kids and their friends.

Even though the world is totally crazy right now, we still have to remember to laugh, right?
Damn right!
Yes, we have to wear masks for a while when we leave the house and yes, it can be annoying, but just do it! You’re helping yourself, your family and friends, and total strangers every time you put it on.
And we can make fun of ourselves in the meantime!
Let’s have a few laughs and forget about all the awful things happening right now!

Idk why people are against wearing masks. Masks protect you from coronavirus yes, but they also protect you from running into people you know in public. Add sunglasses and you are literally in disguise. It’s safe to do anything, anywhere, even in your hometown. This is my dream

Walmart before pandemic:

•We need to check the contents of your cart at the door.Walmart after pandemic:
•Must be masked like a felon.

It’s interesting what you consider to be luxuries at different points in your life depending on how much money you have in the bank.
And a recent Twitter thread that was started by a woman named Victoria Barrett showed just how much a lot of people out there have had to overcome in their lives when it came to poverty and having simple material possessions.
This is the question that Barrett posed to people on Twitter.
Former poor kids: what are some things you have in your house that you *never* had as a kid, things your not-poor friends would never consider luxuries?
— Victoria Barrett (@victoriabwrites) January 20, 2020
Let’s take a look at some of the very interesting responses.
It does taste better.
Real cheese (as opposed to government cheese).
Brand name cereal in a box (as opposed to “Tasteeos in the
bag).New clothes (as opposed to clothes from Goodwill).
Cash that is green (as opposed to food stamps which were blue an orange).
A microwave, a cable box, a computer.
— Mikel Jollett (@Mikel_Jollett) January 20, 2020
Always have a back-up.
Back-up supplies, like a full thing of olive oil and maple syrup and sea salt for when the ones I have run out. Tupperware. Shoes that I like. Dishes that are pretty. Neosporin/bandaids/first aid kit. The biggest luxury of all– flowers I bought just because it was my birthday.

The ability to buy what we need, when we need it, without having to figure out what other thing has to be cut. If my kid needs clothes, I can buy them without worrying that we might not be able to afford food.

No more stress.
I just remember watching my mom chew her lip while the grocery store clerk rang up our groceries. She was so stressed and would take things off the belt if we went over. My sister and I view wealth as “getting whatever you want at the grocery store”.

— Kitty. (@KatHeartwell) January 21, 2020
And safety.
Silence—no TV blaring, no one yelling, no babies crying. Peace—no one is angry or stressed because of our home. Safety—no sense of danger or insecurity. Those intangible things stand out more than the material objects.
