The question you should be asking is how my grandmother did what she did?
I know the answer to that question—and I am trying to replicate her behavior as best I can.
I could not care less what some low integrity agenda driven “experts” claim.
One of her tricks—pay attention now because this could add years to your life—was she told me:
“Never believe anything they say on TV.”
In the modern age that means never believe anything the experts say.
Never believe “statistics”.
Follow this rule and you too can live long and prosper.
P.S. That does not mean smoke three packs of cigarettes a day. Extreme habits of any sort are bad for you. But hating on all cigarettes and cigarette smokers is an error.
I think people who hate on smokers are particularly sensitive to tobacco smoke. I grew up around smokers. Ninety percent of the girls I dated smoked. I smoked between 14 yrs of age and twenty four. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
Nothing like a smoking thread for an unsolicited lecture!
