Happy dance, but not too vigorous 😄

And cigarettes will kill the idiots who smoke them.

They certainly killed my dad. But it took them a long time to do it. He was a two-pack-a-day man for decades and died from throat cancer at 83. My mom, who claimed not to be a smoker because she usually ‘only smoked after dinner’ nearly made it to 100.

I used to tell my students that the big problem with cigarettes is that they take so long to kill you—decades instead of months or years. Tell a 16-year-old that he or she will have health problems from smoking in his or her 50s and they’ll laugh and say they’d rather be dead than 50.

Amen:-)

PS: If you die and your body is in perfect condition you never lived:-)

I think they poked fun at him in a married with children episode called, “Dead Men Don’t Do Aerobics”.
