More eroneous assumptions.
I don't recall saying or believing anywhere--especially on this thread--that my flaws and sins are more righteous than smoker's flaws and sins.
So, yet again . . . a bald faced wholesale WRONG assumption was leveled at me.
I suppose smokers think it's great to walk by and spit on someone's newly polished shoe?
No? I didn't think so. Evidently Smokers are quite judgmental about folks spitting on other folks shoes deliberately.
Shrill? I could show shrill. I'm pretty good at shrill. Haven't even been on the same planet as shrill on this thread.
Hypersensitivity seems to go with smoking for a sizeable percentage of smokers. Guess it's fitting. Many folks are hypersensitive allergically to smoke and smokers are hypersensitive to criticism of their smoking. Kind of fits.
In a perverse way, of course.

Anyway, CSM, who in the hell would want to live forever, and be subjected to this screeching for eternity?
I'll bet even the devil would go insane having to listen to these people constantly.Here you go!

Smoking is a dirty, filthy, offensive, selfish habit. Plain and simple.
Rationalizations about it don't change the basic facts.And I take offense to that. Many of us do not find it dirty, filthy, offensive and a selfish habit. That is just your opinion, yet you continuously want to jam your opinion down our throats.
I bet "you" have some habits that "I" would find offensive! heh!

Since when is it acceptable to take the Lord's name in vein on FR? It is even worse that you are proud of your attitude.He seems to be a total anti-smoker and a non-Christian as well. Told me right there just what kind of an idiot he is! Period!

Smokers jam their smoke down my lungs.
I think my opinions are a lot less destructive to smokers' health.
Yeah, I think my habit of tweaking at smoking on smoking threads is probably offensive to smokers.
woop woop.

"But not from drinking carrot juice" Very easily said.... SoOh? Prove it.I don't understand what you're asking. I was responding to a post that said that 100% of orange juice drinkers die. (obviously - since everybody dies). I responded with "they didn't die from drinking orange juice."
And you now want me to PROVE that people don't die from drinking orange juice? I can't prove a negative. Why don't you show the proof that millions of people have died as a result of drinking orange juice.
There is plenty of proof that people die from cigarette smoking - I've never seen a study showing how orange juice kills.

The evidence is anecdotal - less smoking, more childhood asthma. Draw your own conclusions.
The evidence is documented - more smoking, more early deaths.
Draw your own conclusions.

38.3 years gloriously free of busybody nanny-staters (and federal income tax). I would trade for that in a minute.38.3 years of grueling hard labor from sun up to sun down. 38.3 years of no electricity, no central heating, no running water, no toilets, no showers, no cars, no movies, no television, no radio, no antibodies, no refrigeration, no canned goods, no air conditioning, no travel beyond 15 miles from your home, no photographs, no department stores, no supermarkets, no fruit or vegetables in the winter, no telephones, only having 50% of your babies make it to age 2, no sewer systems, no police protection, no emergency rooms. Indian attacks, dysentery, smallpox, polio, plague, fleas, lice, - yes it must have been a GREAT life, topped off by dying of old age at 40!
You can have it - I'll take this life, even with all its problems.

Also ain't pretty to watch family farms die due to liberal taxation.At least the farms didn't choose to do it to themselves, like smokers.

That's the silliest thing I've read today. Considering 99.9% of Americans are born in hospitals.

The "Marlboro Man," Wayne McLaren, appeared at Philip Morris annual shareholders meeting in Richmond, VA, and asked the company to voluntarily limit its advertising.
The Marlboro Man died of LUNG CANCER three months later in 1992.

Over 75% of people that die in America are under a doctors care and 80% of Americans die in a hospital or under some form of care.
Stay away from doctors and hospitals and you'll live forever.

"Single cells bear variable combinations of these NK cell receptors (NKR), presumably resulting from
stochastic gene activation/silencing events that take place during their maturation. The diversity of NKR observed in different individuals is in part genetically determined, as distinct KIR haplotypes include variable sets of genes. On the other hand, there is evidence that
microbial infections may also influence the NKR repertoire. In this regard, murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) promotes an expansion of NK cells bearing the Ly49H receptor specific for the m157 viral glycoprotein, that play a crucial role in the immune response to infection."
The point is not that everyone born in hospital has asthma - it is that everyone with asthma was born in hospital.
