Read some of the comments over here. A couple of us were real busy protecting our rights against the no-smokers.

I'm sure the same dopey anti-smoking cast of characters will be drifting to this thread.

Been smoking Boros since 1968. Just to make sure this thread ends up being fair and balanced, could we get some comments now from the dead smokers and their second-hand breathers out there. ... Anyone? ... Anyone? ... Hmmmmm, dead silence. That's odd.

Well I was just kidding, the puchline being the "my lung" feels great (instead of "lungs"), but seriously, I`ve been smoking 2 packs of red marlboros for about 23 years and I`ve literally never been sick once in those 23 years, I mean not even a cold which is very very strange.
Not saying smoking is a great thing, but I`m just giving my experience. I think alot has to do with genetics, cancer doesn`t run in my family, both my granfathers smoked well into their 80`s and my parents into their 60`s. My Grandmother died of a heart attack at 70 (she smoked) and one Grandfather died from a routine operation for intestinal trouble, (probably caused from nerves living with me)
On the other hand, you will have people who will smoke for only a few years and will immediately get oat cell lung cancer and will be dead in 2 months..I know two women who died that way. One was a co-worker who was a chain smoker and boom, dead 2 months after diagnoses and another was my neighbor who died in her 40`s 10 years after quitting. Both had fast moving lung cancer.
To me, I want to quit because I`m sick of it. It`s too expensive, I can feel it wrecking my energy level, and it throws tar all over the freggin` place. You go in my bathroom, you can literally see the tar dripping down the walls from the condensation when I take a shower. Plus now I am experiencing wheezing when I sleep, so much so that sometimes it wakes me up which I know ain`t a sound of good lungs. That`s the beginnings of emphesyma and I`ll be damned if I need a oxegen tank when I`m 50. Fuuuu--- THAT!

Am getting so sick of this. . .smoking would be healthier.I agree. Everyone knows the surgeon general has a personal stake in diseminating this garbage (his wife is ceo of Nicorette) but what do I know, I'm a Nazi, now everyone relax after your long journey with a nice hot shower...

I was really intrigued by your post, and so I went to google it to find out. But all I could find is that he's married to a "Diana Sanchez" but it doesn't appear that she's the CEO of Nicorette (or anything, for that matter).
Where did you get your info.?
To: Cobra64
Real classy, cobra64.
About as classy as blowing smoke in someone's face.
