“Smoking Can Cause Wrinkles”
Yep. I remember at my dad’s funeral (cancer from a life long smoking habit) after I had introduce my wife and kids to my cousins (all of them smokers) and we were out of ear shot, I told my family how old each of them were.

Oh Good Grief!

Convenient conservatism at its finest.
