Wasn't Al Gore the inspiration for a (second) film: "Inherit the Wind" about
the Scopes Monkey Trial, or was he still out in the fields cutting tobacco?

Some years ago, when I was freelancing at a mutual fund company, I took a break to go downstairs and smoke my pipe. On my way back upstairs, I found myself sharing the elevator with one of my co-workers in the corporate communications department.
"Ewww, smoke!" she exclaimed. "Let me out of here! I don't want you to give me cancer!"
Let's absorb this slowly. My fellow worker thought that: 1) Cancer was contagious. 2) She could "catch" cancer from the smell of tobacco smoke clinging to my clothes -- not from the smoke itself, which was long gone outdoors, but from the smell alone.
She was a dish, too. Pity.

She should have had you deliver the message, you have the mantra down pat.
Fat people sweat and stink; athletic live-forevers jog at lunchtime and stink; do-gooders stink on sight; perfume and cologne users stink; wet dogs stink; women in heat stink; my feet stink.
As a matter of fact, the world stinks.
Non-smokers are the only people I know who profess to know what kissing a dirty ashtray smells like, I can only guess they go around kissing ashtrays because they have nothing important to do.
Non-smokers are missing a promising career in the K-9 corps.
Smoking is cheap compared to the loss of perspective.
I got into an elevator once with an indian that smelled of curry, I told her that eww she smelled and I was gonna get the runs.
Friendship is overrated; most of your "friends" just haven't got from you what they want yet.
Hmm. I've always found pipes to smell rather pleasant.
How do you know that someone out there doesn't think too much of the way you smell, having to climb down from that high horse every night?
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

You had a massive heart attack 9 years ago, correct?
What are you currently taking to prevent another one?
Smokers now represent less than 25% of the population but the incidence of first heart attack has dropped only among the older quartile while the youngest quartile has experienced an increase in frequency.
The link between smoking and lung cancer is by far the greatest and most robust, so it would be a mistake to think that a smoke-free society would eliminate heart attacks.
Obesity is the new bugaboo and it will be a lot harder sell when they come to take your french fries away.
I tried ennui for a week but I just couldn't get into it.
If you are a dish you can really go places despite an amazing lack of knowledge.
Vinegar in a paste of salt.
Not really, it is about popular, hysterical delusions of which global warming is but one, albeit the most potentially dangerously expensive one right now.
You kiss one labia, you've kissed them all.
LOL, that's the most delightful word picture I've seen this whole thread; this silly woman dashing all about the yard waving her pants in the air...
Personally, I'd rather be stuck in an elevator with with a dozen unwashed chain smoking garlic eaters than spending any time with rude and self-rightious people who rely on ad hominin attacks. The latter are far more offensive.
What are you talking about?
"Ma'am, we're not inside the museum."
"Get out of here, tar breath!"
from South Park, spoken outside The Museum of Tolerance.
