I smoked for 15 years and have been on this site for 3 years. I have NEVER spoken to any smoker who claimed smoking was good for a person or seen any serious posts on this forum claiming that smoking was good for a person.

I don't smoke any longer but I am still amazed at the sheer hatred displayed by many non-smokers toward smokers. Like liberals, many believe lies are OK since the end should justify the means. Lies like somkers claiming that smoking is beneficial to one's health.

My post was in jest. However, i have seen posts where people cite that smoking helps prevent certain diseases.

BTW-I am not an anti smoking nazi. While disease is a risk associated with smoking I think the bigger problem with smoking is the dependency it causes. I posted the story because it had a great headline, and it would encourage much discussion.
