I like the name...

As for me...Those who know me, know that I am not a smoker...And that I will not support efforts to ban that activity...

I am somewhat puzzled by those efforts, as some of the elected officials I know, I consider to be good conservative reps...But thats beside the point...Everyone has their little pet peeves...

Tobbaco was one of the original cash crops this country produced in the beginning...And I think the Treasury building in D.C. has the crop immortalized in the flourishes on top of the columns supporting the roof of that building, big tobbaco leaf fronds...

I do think cigarettes do make smoking a convienent vice that is addictive and makes the risk to health greater...

On the other hand, remembering my grandfather smoked only pipes and cigars occasionally, it was a habit he did at a regular time and place every day...

My Dad never picked up on that activity, but grew up with that...So I guess it never got passed on to me...
