PHEROMONE TOBACCO ADDITIVES. "Isovaleric acid is a component of the pheromones present in the vaginal secretions responsible in the female rhesus monkey for stimulating sexual behavior in the male ... major components of the subauricular gland secretion of the male pronghorn (antelope); its odor produces a strong response from the male." https://lnkd.in/dCpHNBj View in LinkedIn

TOBACCO AND WEIGHT LOSS. "If particular compounds responsible for the effect can be found, it might be possible to enhance the effect in a cigarette aimed at people desiring help with weight control. Care must be taken not to make specific claims or to invoke a “drug additive” image." (Internal tobacco company document). http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2040350/ View in LinkedIn

"BENEFICIAL ADDITIVES". "Other factors were thought of .... to ascribe the effect to an additive that is already naturally occurring in tobacco, and then to possibly manipulate that additive: a) dental caries [tooth decay], b) reduction in constipation, c) heart rate regulation, d) effects in colds (i.e., mentholated brands), [and] e) anxiety reduction." https://lnkd.in/dazJ8n2 View in LinkedIn

CIGARETTES AND APPETITE. "It was noted that one beneficial attribute ascribed to smoking is appetite suppressance [sic].

MEDICATING THE PUBLIC THROUGH CIGARETTES. "In this Philip Morris document, Beneficial Additive Cigarette, scientists glibly and easily kick around the idea of medicating the general public for dental caries, reducing anxiety, cold symptoms, improving moods, etc. through cigarettes." http://tobaccodocuments.org/landman/185684.html View in LinkedIn

PLATFORM FOR ENDOGENOUS DRUGS. "Rather than deliver a physiological effect directly we might incorporate an additive which causes the body to produce its own physiological agent. Thus, we could alleviate pain, increase sex drive, etc., without adding agents to do this but by adding a naturally occurring promoter." The pipe dream of the tobacco industry. https://lnkd.in/dazJ8n2 View in LinkedIn

TOBACCO SCIENTISTS SPECULATED about increasing the sex drives through additives to compensate for the negative effects of tobacco on sexual performance. Imagine if they had been successful? Addiction plus sex would be unstoppable. View in LinkedIn

SMOKING AND SEX. "Six years ago the British Health Department launched a campaign warning that smoking can ruin your sex life, including ads about physical attractiveness - ''If you smoke, you stink'' - and impotence - ''Your penis thinks you should stop smoking''. https://lnkd.in/dzgnQuA View in LinkedIn
