Popularized in the 1920s, cigarette companies advertised their product as a substitute for when people begin to crave sweets. It is blatantly obvious that this is nowhere near healthy due to the obvious, cigarettes are bad for you. They can cause chest pain and shortness of breath on the light end, and up to lung cancer and the coughing up of blood on the extreme end. However, using actions or substitutes when hungry isn’t healthy either, and can result in the development of eating disorders. Hindsight is 20/20, but this has got to be one of the worst diets I have ever seen.
