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?
