There are side effects to smoking you might not have realized.

Effects of Smoking
Canadians really have a handle on advertising. We can say things like smoking is bad for your health, for your family’s health, it causes wrinkles in your face, cigarettes make holes in your clothes from ash, things like that. Oh, and did I mention the obvious, things like lung cancer? There are many articles written on the drugs you can take to help yourself stop smoking. However, according to the FDA, some of the side effects are serious neuropsychiatric symptoms, suicidal thoughts, depression, hostility, or other changes in behavior. And you want to take the drugs … why? There is a much easier way, however, and that is hypnosis. It is totally non-invasive, there is no chemical attached to it, you can easily learn self hypnosis that you can take with you anywhere and use it any time you want, and the bottom line is it works! The only organization that wants you to believe that it is hard to stop smoking is the tobacco lobby. Of course that would be their position – they want a “revolving door” audience, meaning that as some people die on the far end, they want other new people to be coming in on the near end of the timeline. They need to continually replenish their base.
As a smoker, you know all the reasons why you should stop smoking. But only Canadians have the right idea in advertising. Here is one of the most effective cigarette package advertisements that I have ever seen. Look at the attached picture and think about it for a minute.
If you want to stop smoking the easy way, if you want to live long enough to see your children or grandchildren grow up, if you want to taste your food again and stop smelling like a dirty ashtray, call me. I love to help people stop smoking because it is easy to change that behavior with some professional hypnosis help from me. I love to do it, it is fun, it puts you back in control AND you won’t gain weight. Just because you have tried to quit before and are tired of beating yourself up because “it” didn’t work doesn’t mean you can’t quit, it only means you haven’t found the right logic to quitting. Look at the Canadian advertisement again, then think it over. There’s lots more happening to your body than what is happening to your lungs when you smoke. www.HypnosisByTheBaggageHandler.com
Side-Effects of Viagra
October 30th, 2009
Viagra is a popular medical tablet produced by the multinational pharmaceutical company Pfizer used to treat cases of erectile dysfunction. When used as intended, it helps adult males, especially those in their senior years, to take away the difficulty in having a penile erection.
Nevertheless, just as very few drugs work perfectly, taking Sildenafil Citrate can have can have its own side effects that results from the interaction of the drug with other health conditions or medicines as it passes throughout ones body. These interactions can unintentionally result in unfavourable side effects on some parts of the body.
Essentially, Viagra is strongly contraindicated for any medication that has nitrates such as nitroglycerin which is prescribed for people with angina or other heart issues. If you are taking up any medication with nitrate, whether daily or even just occasionally, you should not take Revatio.
If Revatio and nitroglycerin are taken together, the increased amount of nitric oxide which is called by the opening of the arteries that supply the heart with oxygen, and the blocking of PDE5 can lead to grave cardiovascular issues.
Another serious side effect of Viagra is the sudden decrease or loss of vision. This is caused by the spillover effect of blocking PDE5 which in some cases also affects PDE6. Since PDE6 is used in the cone cells found in the eye retina, Revatio can adversely affect color vision especially in the way gentlemen notice green and blue colors. When you start to experience loss of vision, it is best to immediately stop taking Sildenafil Citrate and call a MD instantly. Pilots and drivers should also avoid taking Sildenafil within 12 hours of their travel time.
For persons older than 65 years of age and are experiencing problems with their liver and kidney or for adult males who have been diagnosed with prostate troubles or hypertension, the doctor would usually start at the lowest dose of 25 mg of Sildenafil Citrate.
Doctors also need to take special precautions with persons that have other medical conditions as the medical effects of Viagra can make these conditions to worsen.
To avoid these side effects when taking Revatio, it is very important to talk with your physician about your wellness status. By understanding your medical history the doctor will not only make sure that you are physically fit to engage in sexual intercourse but also in order to avoid possible wellness complications like a heart attacked or having lengthened and painful erections. Other commonly observed side effects include headache, nausea, facial flushing, chest pain and upset stomach. In some people, bluish vision, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light may be experienced for a short period of time. Physical discomfort during sex and prolonged erections lasting for more than four hours may also be experienced. Revatio can also have a serious side effect with younger gentlemen who usually take Sildenafil Citrate in order to enhance their sexual experience and less for medical reasons. In such cases, it can result in medicine dependency and make them unable to have an erection without Revatio.
When any of these side effects is observed, it is very important to stop taking Revatio and go seek medical help straightaway from your physician..

It is true that the increase in the pate of fraudulent practices perpetrated on the internet can be attributed to the countless numbers of internet sites offering to sell pharmaceutical products to the unsuspecting populace.
If like millions of men you are in search of , you no doubt would have realized by now that the best place to find these tablets are online. However, a quick search on will reveal that there are hundreds of thousands of websites all appearing to offer the same “”. The question of which of these site is best suited for your needs then arises. Of all these many websites where is the best place to ?

That’s a question that millions of men seek to answer every week. Their reason is stemmed by the growing need of many to not only find dependable but also sold at the best price.

An Impotent Subject
October 28th, 2009
Recent discussions on one of our favorite boards centered around a woman asking how to handle it when her lover couldn’t perform because he was unable to achieve, or maintain, an erection. True to internet form, the responses from the guys were full of “Well, I’ve never had that problem myself…” and were basically unhelpful.
Bottom line there, I’ve had enough partners to know: I’ve never known a single man who did not, on occasion, have a bout of the softies. Maybe he was tired, or not feeling well, or exceptionally stressed. Or, as Rex pointed out, perhaps he was worn out.
Either way, a guy who claims he has never had that problem has either not had much sex in his life, or he is lying.
Rex provided an answer that we both felt worth sharing outside of that limited forum. It follows in its original form, with no editing.

Not being able to ‘get it up’ and impotence aren’t really the same thing. Chronic, repeated, permanent lack of a hard-on is impotence. It is a medical problem, obviously, and someone suffering from it should really talk to a Dr. They should also have an open and honest conversation with their partner about it. Barring any physical reasons for a lack of erection, there are plenty of mental reasons, and many of them are not medical problems. Tiredness, for instance.
I bet one of the things you were facing with your former lover was that he experienced Mister Softy once, and then was anxious about your encounters. Perhaps he needed time to relax and make things work. Shining a spotlight on the problem served to enhance that anxiety, even if though it was done with a loving hand, and in a sense robbed him of the ability to control the situation. Men, especially dominant men, probably don’t respond well to that…
My take on it is all men at some point or another are likely to not be able to get it up. Alcohol, general tiredness, and other stresses of life all may provide enough distraction to make the stiffy frustratingly elusive in young and old alike. Heck maybe there’s a situation that will cause it, like standing next to Long Dong Silver in a penis size contest with gay men fondling your balls while polka music plays in the background. Most hetero men probably won’t be inspired by that.
I’m sure the ladies will say the same about their own wetness. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t want you enough, or that he’s not man enough to give you what you deserve, it just means that you both need to rely on a bigger sex organ to find satisfaction… your minds.
So how should you handle it? Grab a bottle of lube and a vibrator, and ask him to make you come. Direct attention to yourself, away from his cock, and let him think about everything except the fact he’s not hard. Don’t do this desperately, or in frustration, just let it be a fluid part of your love making. Then… talk about it later, when it’s not going to put pressure on him to perform.
Man, this ‘butt’ sure wont make you Hard!
October 25th, 2009
Hmmm… those college days… you liked that pretty girl… but how do you impress her? How do you show her how manly you are? Yes, pop comes the cigarette out of your pocket, you imagine yourself as SRK, lean against your bike and then just as she passes in front of you, you let that smoke ring fly out of your lips and give her a flirty smile! Well fortunately or unfortunately, the girl gets 
impressed by you. Days follow and you quite get a grip on her just as that filthy 3″ butt strengthens its firm grip between your fingers. Well you two become so close, whisper sweet nothings in each other’s ears and one day the romance builds up leaving both of you in bed! Okay now the time comes when the man in you is put to test. You try and try but the bloody thing doesnt go up! Your girl looks at you with surprised eyes and before you can do anything… BANG!!! The door slams behind you! Your dream of becoming a macho Dude just turned into a dud!
Okay let me come to the point. Impotence or Erectile dysfunction is the inability to maintain an erection while having intercourse. The other ill-effects of smoking are very well known by those who smoke, but recent medical research shows that smoking is one of the leading cause of impotence in men. Well you will ask me how???
In order to maintain an erection, the blood supply to the penis should be adequately maintained. Smoking constricts the blood
vessels of the body, thereby reducing blood flow. As a result, many men find themselves unable to maintain an erection. 20% of impotent Smokers are also believed to have abnormally low blood pressure. This reduces the flow of blood to the penis. Low blood pressure is caused by atherosclerosis, the build up of fatty deposits, especially in penile area. This is thought to be engendered by arterial injury caused by smoking! Atherosclerosis decreases the calibre of your blood vessels reducing the amount of blood reaching your tool!
When your penis is erect it is because blood gets trapped inside it, once it enters and then there is no easy way out before you ejaculate. Now cigarettes have nicotine in them which dilates or open up these valves even before you let your passion unfold, frustrating both you and your partner leaving your head low, just as your dick!
So how do you avoid this embarrassment? One of the best ways to treat impotence is to prevent it in the first place. Stop Smoking! Yes, i know it is easier said than done, but there has never been a better time to stop than now. There are numerous aids available to help you quit this life-threatening and embarrassing habit, including patches, gums and medications. Think about it! Sticking that butt in your mouth will never make you a man than holding your lovers face in your hands, filled with content and deeply satisfying love… Enjoy your love life…
Cialis Viagra Levitra Effects
October 25th, 2009
I still find Viagra works best. I take Viagra on an empty stomach (I wait 3-4 hours after eating a light, low-fat meal) and it works in about 20 minutes. It also works fast when you disolve it in slightly warm water, but it tastes awful.
I tried Levitra after eating and it seemed to take a while to work, so now I just take in on an empty stomach, just like Viagra. Viagra gives me the blue visual haze, which I rather enjoy. Levitra does not have any blue haze, but instead I get a headache.
In summary, Viagra works better for me and I would rather have a blue haze than a headache.
I also tried Cialis and I like the fact that I would get a hard-on off and on throughout the weekend. But for actually using it with a partner, I found it unreliable. The erections are sporadic and unreliable. I could not get one “on demand” when I wanted one. So, Cialis is fine if you just want to masturbate all weekend long whenever you get wood; but if you have a partner waiting, go for Viagra which is more predictable.
Drunkest Ever Guy Goes For Beer
October 24th, 2009
This guy gives new meaning to the word “paralytic” drunk and that’s for sure. The Drunkest Guy Ever has already gathered millions of YouTube views and you can see why – it’s horribly riveting to watch him scuttle around on his back like a crippled beetle, trying to right itself.
And you can bet his problems in “getting up” will extend far beyond standing on his two legs.
His girl friend – if this loser has a woman in his life which would be surprising – will have already discovered that excess alcohol consumption produces budding “super-studs” who end up being “all talk and no action!”
Alcohol Abuse Causes Impotence
Case studies have shown that causes alcohol impotence in men even when they are sober.
The bottom line is that at best excess alcohol leads to chronic sexual under-performance and at worst chronic alcohol impotence.
Yet other shows women with any brains don’t stick around for men who drink and smoke excessively. Sorry buddy, failing to get more beer is the least of your problems!
Herbal Help
Herbal alternatives can help with erectile dysfunction, but if you’re drinking as heavily as our friend here is, there’s nothing going to save you from a life of bummed out sexual disappointments. For the rest of the men in more control of their lives, there’s
Mitrice Richardson’s Father Accused of Threatening Malibu Mayor
October 23rd, 2009
Mitrice Richardson has been missing for a month and a few days. The investigation has stalled, the leads have grown cold, in the Venice and in the Santa Monica areas. If the girl managed to wander all the way to Santa Monica–which I doubt; I think that she’s in a canyon somewhere–Mitrice may also be suffering from a form of amnesia. She may not know who she is. However, some believe that the leads and the investigation has been allowed to grow cold.
Like I said, back in the day, Southern cops were known to have their way with unprotected black women and girls, who then dumped the women out in some wilderness or swamp or near some train tracks to their fate. This scenario has been running through the minds of many older blacks from my generation on down. I didn’t start the suspicion, I merely named it. The sheriff’s deputies from the Lost Hills-Agoura station haven’t been reassuring about allaying the suspicion either.
Levitra vardenafil minor and major side effects
October 21st, 2009
Levitra vardenafil is an erectile dysfunction treatment medication that was approved by FDA in 2003. Like Viagra, Levitra also belongs to the class of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors and help men with impotence get firm erection sufficiently long enough to complete sexual intercourse. Levitra works the same way as Viagra and also cause similar side effects.
Though most of Levitra vardenafil side effects are minor you may still minimize them by taking precautions. Most importantly you should always use Levitra vardenafil after consultation with doctor. Since Levitra vardenafil is contraindicated with certain medicines and medical conditions, always let your doctor know about your health conditions and medicines you may be taking. Your doctor may adjust Levitra dosage for you to minimize Levitra vardenafil side effects.
Levitra Vardenafil side effects
Most of Levitra vardenafil side effects are mild to moderate in nature and usually do not require medical intervention. These Levitra side effects may go away on their own during the course of the treatment as your body adjusts to vardenafil.
Not everyone who takes Levitra will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate Levitra well. Researches show that very few men stopped using Levitra because of adverse side effects. However, never hesitate to check with your doctor if any of the Levitra vardenafil minor or major side effects continue or are bothersome.
Levitra Vardenafil minor side effects
Levitra vardenafil is found to be a well-tolerated drug in most patients however; certain mild to moderate Levitra vardenafil side effects have been reported by some men. Some of the commonly reported Levitra vardenafil minor side effects include headache, facial flushing, stuffy or runny nose, and upset stomach.
Levitra vardenafil minor side effects usually go away within a few hours. Moreover, over several months of use, the frequency and intensity of Levitra vardenafil side effects decreases as your body gets used to the medicine. In case, they persist, or if they become particularly bothersome, do not hesitate to consult your doctor. All Levitra vardenafil minor side effects, except for headache, decrease greatly with lower dosage. Hence, discuss the side effects with your doctor as he may consider reducing your Levitra vardenafil dosage strength.
Other commonly reported Levitra vardenafil minor side effects include flu-like symptoms, back pain, nausea, dizziness, sinusitis, increased levels of creatine kinase in the blood (creatine kinase is an enzyme normally found in muscles and the brain)
In some patients, vision changes such as increased sensitivity to light, blurred vision, or impaired blue/green color discrimination may also occur. If any of these Levitra vardenafil side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.
Levitra Vardenafil major side effects
In rare cases, use of Levitra vardenafil is reported to have caused major side effects such as heart attack, sudden death, serious irregular heart rhythms, stroke, Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), which is also called a mini-stroke, high blood pressure (hypertension), bleeding within the brain or in the spaces just outside the brain and bleeding in the lungs.
In most cases, the above reported Levitra vardenafil major side effects occurred in men who had heart or blood vessel (cardiovascular) risk factors. Besides, as the side effects occurred during or shortly after sexual activity, it is difficult to determine the origin of these sides effects.
There have also been rare cases of a condition called Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) associated with the use of PDE5 inhibitors. This condition can lead to sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes.
Other rarely reported Levitra vardenafil major side effects include priapism – a condition in which erection lasts longer than 4 hours. If this happens, get yourself treated right away to avoid permanent damage to your penis.
How to lessen Levitra Vardenafil side effects?
By taking following precautions, you may lessen Levitra vardenafil side effects to a considerable extent.
- Never take Levitra without first consulting a doctor through a personal visit or via online consultation with a doctor through a genuine Levitra pharmacy.
- Inform your doctor about your health conditions and medicines you may be taking.
- Levitra should not be used along with nitrate medicines.
- Do not use Levitra if sexual activity is considered dangerous for your health conditions.
- Never alter Levitra dosage without consulting a doctor.
- Levitra should never be used by women or children below the age of 18 years.
- Inform your doctor if you experience any of the Levitra vardenafil major side effects or if any of the side effects become bothersome.
- Do not use Levitra tablets if you have a known sensitivity or allergy to any component of Levitra.
- Levitra vardenafil might make you feel dizzy or affect your vision. If you experience either of these side effects, do not drive a car or perform potentially hazardous activities until the symptoms have gone.
Oddball Advertising in Israel and Abroad
October 21st, 2009
I suppose strange advertising can be found the world over, but I’ve noticed many bizarre, dirty, and comical ads here in Israel. Those who think Israel is an ultra-religious, puritanical country swarming with bearded, black-hatted men and shaiteled, long-skirted women might be surprised by the sexuality and innuendo in Israeli advertising. If you think ads in the States are racy, well . . . Well. Here we see depictions of people in various positions and states of undress that one would be hard-pressed to find outside the pages of Playboy. Other ads use language that wouldn’t work in the U.S., not blaring from a billboard, at least. And then there’s this:
I know.
This next ad was seen in the southern resort town of Eilat, where I would venture to say the tourists as well as the residents do not need to be reminded to share their backsides with the world:
The picture on the ad, which I sadly do not have a photograph of, shows a young man, back to camera, displaying his tightly-jeaned posterior without a care in the world. His face is turned to us, his expression impish, defiant, perhaps a bit contemptuous.
Also in Eilat, strolling through the mall, I saw this guy (left), whose costume and very presence left me confused (and mildly aroused):
To this day I have not determined what he is selling or representing. But he sure turned a lot of eyes.
But with all these, my personal favorite sexy ad comes from a Brazilian cigarette pack I found on a bus:
That’s hot. “IMPOTENCE,” the heading cries, and below: “The Ministry of Health advises: The use of this product diminishes, complicates, or impedes erections.” Tadinho, he’s looks so forlorn! What’s going on? he whines. Onde está o meu hardon? His bafflement is aptly conveyed by his face and the set of his hands. The long-nailed, downturned thumb standing in for his malfunctioning caralho is a touch of genius. I almost wanna start smoking, just so I can say that this inspired me to quit. I love it.
But back to Israel. Another phenomenon I’ve noticed is a slew of unconventional bathroom signs ranging from the professionally inappropriate
to the endearingly crude
If you look close at the standing guy, you’ll notice he has the ereção the limpdicked Brazilian so sadly lacked. How is he managing to make the bowl?
These next few ads relate to household products which some of you may recognize, but which I never saw before I moved from the States to Israel. First we have this laundry detergent:
I don’t know about you all, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable washing my clothes with COLON. Honestly, who’s idea was this? I picked up a bag in the supermarket recently, and found it’s produced by Reckitt Benckiser, a corporate home-product giant based in the UK. It’s the same company that makes Woolite, Lysol, Air Wick, Mucinex, Clearasil, and French’s Foods, all of which I saw in stores, TV commercials, and magazines on a daily basis when I was still in Maryland. How many times have I squirted French’s mustard on my hotdog, or washed the floor with Lysol? I regularly used Clearasil products when I had acne, and took Mucinex when I had a cold (I will never forget their , which were just overly-gross enough to be effective.) But COLON? Why?
This one is a dishwashing liquid I frequently see in kitchens here, and I have to chuckle to myself every time.
Fairy is manufactured by Procter & Gamble, which pretty much . According to Wikipedia:
As of 2008, Fairy is sold in most parts of Europe, although regional names vary. Fairy liquid is available in a variety of colour and scent combinations. . . . In the UK, Fairy Liquid has become a genericized trademark for washing up liquid.
I don’t think this would fly (ba-dum) in the States.
Next we have this bag of “Chinese Style Pecans Nuts”. Anyone used to the smothering political correctness of the United States will be either refreshed or appalled by the picture on the package:
I didn’t have my camera with me, so I bought it.
Lastly, I offer this:
It’s a second-hand shop. The yellow sign in the window reads, “Trumpeldor Second Hand”. The store is located near Joseph Trumpeldor street, named for the Russian Zionist who lost his left arm in the Russo-Japanese War.
There’s an old Israeli joke my father told me: טרומפלדור היה גיבור, אז לקחו ממנו דוגמא — which can be understood either as “Trumpeldor was a hero, so he was their role model,” or “Trumpeldor was a hero, so they took a sample from him”. Eh, it’s funnier in Hebrew.
Stay tuned for an upcoming post on Jerusalem graffiti.
How to Produce Healthy Sperm?
October 21st, 2009
In the act of conception itself, both man and woman should be healthy to be able to successfully produce an offspring of their own. It is the male partner’s responsibility to take care of himself to be able to produce healthy sperms.
With their current lifestyle and environmental factors, a lot of men have been having problems with their sperm count, motility, and volume. Before we discuss some tips on how to ensure healthy sperms, let us take a closer look on several factors that affect the sperm’s overall health.
Sperm Count
It refers to the quantity of sperms produced per ejaculation. Normal values are around 50 million sperms per ejaculation. Values lower than the mentioned value are considered decreased male fertility. It is better to see a fertility specialist or doctor if you want to determine your sperm count.
Sperm Volume
Sperm volume is also important when one is to have a healthy sperm. Some causes of low sperm volume are obstruction and injury to the articles, medication side effects, and hormonal problems.
Sperm Motility and Morphology
Sperms are supposed to move fast. A man’s sperms are considered healthy when half of the sperms ejaculated are active and if a quarter of them are moving rapidly in one direction. A normal and healthy sperm should have an oval head that will hold the genetic blueprint for the baby. It must have a tail that will propel it to move forward. Specialists consider sperms healthy if half of the ejaculated sperms have oval heads and propeller tails.
Here are some simple ways you can do to ensure healthy sperms:
Give up smoking and cut back on alcohol.
Cigarette smoking has been shown to damage the genetic blueprint or DNA in sperms. If this happens, it is possible that the offspring may have birth defects and problems. Smoking was also found out to reduce sperm motility, making it hard for the sperms to reach the egg and fertilize it. Alcohol was also shown to affect male impotence. Eat well and watch your weight.
Zinc and folic acid supplements are recommended for men who are planning to sire a child. Make sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and avoid too much sugar and caffeine. Weight problems can also affect sperm count, so it is advised for men to watch their weight closely.
Lead an active lifestyle.
A sedentary lifestyle has been shown to contribute to male infertility. It is important to lead an active lifestyle like doing mild exercises three times a week. However, it is not advised to do extreme cycling as prolonged periods with biking may be linked to sperm problems and issues.
Maintain a sperm-friendly temperature.
Sperms are designed to be stored to a temperature cooler than the rest of your body. Minimize visits to hot saunas and long hot baths. Avoid wearing synthetic and tight-fitting pants as well.
Always be safe.
STDs can also affect sperm count and motility, so when engaging in sexual intercourse, always have condoms handy and get tested for STDs regularly.
