Smoking is also good for the economy. Call me crazy but I truly believe that much of the financial mess we’re facing right now in trying to pay social security, medicare, pensions and on and on can be tied to the vast numbers of aging Americans who quit smoking. Simply put, they’re living much longer after leaving the workforce. Better to smoke and die shortly after your productive years end. I’m doing my part.

#6 It makes you look cool.

#7 Not healthy for me, but has saved countless others from a well deserved ass kicking due to the fact I took a smoke break and calmed down.

You bet its good for the economy.

Wanna boost the local economy? Strike down ‘no smoking’ laws.

Watch the bar business go back to where it was. Cigar bars too.

The State is screwing with our businesses, our families, our diets, our religious beliefs and morality, and last but not least, the things we do to let off steam.

Smoking is banned NOT because its bad for you, but because female regulators think it makes their hair and clothes smell bad when they come home from a restaurant. Full stop.

Quitting smoking leads to weight gain, which may be why they’re after the foodies now. If I were a quitter and now they were coming after my fried chicken and ice cream, I would feel like they were dogging me.
