I’m not looking to shaft smokers. I’m just speaking to the observations I’ve made while buying and looking to buy used cars. Smokers drive cars harder than non-smokers, as a general observation, and they don’t keep on top of some maintenance items like oil leaks, they are more willing to live with them.

You remind me of a poster who showed up years ago and started spouting off about his knowledge of 'aerodynamics' pushing the idea that cars are extremely dangerous above 55 MPH. All this lift, etc. nonsense. Sounded like a fool. He obviously had his green agenda on; if you don't like smoking, just say so.

If I’m an heavy ex-smoker does that mean I take better care of my truck now?
Good thing I quit drinking beer.

I can’t disagree with any of that. Really. I am not an idiot, nor are you a fool.

I saw a logical fallacy, and I jumped on it because, well, I guess I was in the mood. As a smoker, I am getting tired of getting the shaft from smoking Nazis.

The fallacy is “Correlation <> Causation.” I may very well be an outlier, and I confess I’ve been called a lot worse in the decades I’ve darkened the Earth.

Peace.
