Dear Moonman,

Don't you know that smoking is good for you?

In fact, responsible parents encourage their children to smoke no later than age 2. Carcinogens? They simply do not exist. Weak infant lungs benefit from a protective coating of tar.

You cite a study that says otherwise. But scientific studies are, by definition, biased against the Tobacco Industry. In fact, science and medicine have demonstrated anti-tobacco biases.

Also, my uncle's best friend's sister knew someone who smoked ten packs a day and was healthy until a bus ran her over while she was running a marathon on her 115th birthday.

I could quit if I wanted to, because nicotine is not addictive. But why would anyone want to?

Yours Sincerely,

The FreeRepublic Head-in-Sand Tobacco Lobby

Thanks for your scintillating post that was just chock full of scientific proof that smoking has been proven to harm no one but the smoker.
Appreciate the support.

Yep, the surest way to ensure that I keep smoking is to ridicule and mock smokers. Your kind keeps me puffin'. How does it feel to be the root cause of so much smoking?

Very (not) funny...........

It must be so nice to go through life with the idea of controlling the lives of others.

You must be so proud of yourselves.
