That sounds a lot like the spot in my brain that stops me from habitually paying money for something that, when used as directed, will kill me.

Cool, so you aren't going to die? ;-)

Perhaps you meant "may kill me".

I hear that people in a coma don't smoke either. Actually, most people also quit smoking when they die.

Clearly brain damage isn't a treatment option for people struggling to kick the habit.

I wonder if smokers will get mad when the Imperial Federal Government forces them to undergo Brain Surgery?

How they will do it will say we will tax you if you don't. That way they can say we never forced the surgery.

Are they going to show me where I drill the hole in my head or do I have to pay for that too?
