Hello all:
I was groaning every time I saw this thread. Not that I'm a smoker (except for the occasional cigar) but how off topic can you
get? But I definitely appreciated Brian's take on this! :-)
P. S. At the risk of being a hypocrite, I'll include just this one more off-topic tidbit. (Sorry, can't help myself!) If you can
find it (the liberal commie media has tended to ignore it), I highly recommend the book "For Your Own Good- The Tyranny of Public
Health", by Jacob Sullum. Sullum is himself a non-smoker, but like me he's a little worried about where all this "health nazi" stuff
is leading . . .
One interesting note from the book: did you know that the tobacco companies were big contributors to the "Drug Free America"
campaign? Kind of got burned by their own fire, didn't they?

People will roll their own cigarettes and give them out to people for
free.
Then some else will come along and see that these hand rolled cigarettes
aren't rolled quite right, so they will give the origional guy a tip
so that
he can start rolling better cigarettes.
After sevral people give them suggestions they are now rolling a better
more
stable cigarette that everyone is enjoying more and they tend not to
fall
apart as much as some other guys cigarrettes, who will remain name
less...
we'll just refer to him as MS. He won't listen to anyone and
thinks he
rolls the best ones around, even though they tend to fall apart when
you
want them the most.
Even though MS can't seem to roll his correctly
at all he goes around
and buys up all the good tobacco in town so that everyone else can't
have it
and either throws it away, or blends it wil his own discusting mix....
Am I close?
