Well, good for you!  You did mean you quit smoking, right?

I say the same to someone who lost 50 pounds as well.  We all know that smoking isn't good for us and being obese is a killer.  But hey!  The responsibility needs to lie with us, and not the government.

Cigarettes are the only legal commodity today that we can buy, yet we are made to feel like criminals for smoking them.

It's all nuts.
