I’m sure many of the fat, chainsmoking gals also have tattoos.
All the girls seem to have tatoos. One of the cute young ones who is a friend just got one. Not a tramp stamp thankfully, but I just shook my head.
“Individuals with higher cholesterol tend to live longer than individuals with low cholesterol. It is not a factor in determining heart or cardiovascular health. Cholesterol as a “disease” is a scam to promote the sale of cholesterol lowering drugs.”
That is great news for me. Can you provide a link to additional information regarding this?
How does your hospital enforce the non-smoking on property policy with their non-employees? I’d be very curious how they could prevent me from smoking outside their building...
“It came about because the federal government made health insurance benefits tax free.”
Actually, that was a side effect of the government instituting wage caps. But I agree with you that to many people consider it a “right” these days.
I wonder what the auto insurance rate would be for someone who pays cash for everything and does not have a credit rating. Imagine if Dave Ramsey were turned down for auto insurance because he doesn’t believe in debt, therefore he does not have a credit score.
“No, just people whose health and habits demonstrably increase their risk to the insurance company.”
A great example would be married people. They significanlty increase the risk of higher costs due to pregnancy.
And they pay higher premiums for it (if they are both covered). But I'd say an unmarried woman in the U.S. has a similar risk of getting pregnant as a married one.
“And they pay higher premiums..”
Not for the additional risk, rather for the added person. Adding a spouse to a policy is only a premium of 36.5% at my employer. Yet, their risk of increasing the cost outlays of the company are increased several times that. There is no marriage premium for that increase in risk of increased cost.

Employees get a couple warnings if they get caught. Then they get fired.
LOL that’s funny. I don’t think I want to be reminded every day though lol. Maybe once a month for now and later once a year. Today it’s about $180 ($6 a pack)so far, so maybe I should put that money in a can of peas or something and then in a few months get myself something nice.
Congrats to you, btw!
I think I would just walk away from the security guard and maintain a peacable silence. It would be rather comical to see them get all frustrated at the SIGHT of someone smoking 20 feet away from anyone.....
