The number one problem from smoking is heart disease.
“The number one problem from smoking is heart disease.”
There you go. My paternal grandmother had heart disease and diabetes. She never smoked a day in her life. Neither did her husband (my grandfather.) On the maternal side both my grandparents smoked. And yes, in the car with their grandkids. All of my grandparents have passed. Each of them passed between the ages of 79 and 81. How long do you want to live? Eighty, ninety, one hundred? Past eighty, does it really matter?
Talk your nannystatism elsewhere. This is America.
