I’m sorry, but cigarette smoke smells disgusting. It doesn’t even taste good. It discolors your teeth. It gives you cancer. It lingers in the furniture. It harms those around you.

Red meat, on the other hand, smells amazing, tastes amazing, and is adored by millions. Vegetarians will always be labeled freaks by meat-eatars, and for good reason: who is dumb enough to give up something so tasty?

On the other side, lean red meat is just fine for you. It’s a good source of protein, and lean beef has less fat than a turkey burger, anyway.

Nobody is touching beef any time soon. There’s not even close to enough scientific studies linking it to anything to even start down that road.

Um, studies have and continue to be done. Like the article says..

They have this all mapped out folks. Just like they did with the cigarette smokers. And not all of the studies on smokers and health problems were on the up and up. Just sayin’. Now IF this article is true and IF it affects your burger..well, ya can always pay extra tax and insurance premiums to continue the pleasure of eating that burger.

The “scientific studies” connected to smoking were more hype than fact, IMO.
I know smokers who have lived a long life and have no cancer.
I also know people who never smoked and didn’t live in a smoking household, and died of lung cancer.

Oh I don't know, it tastes pretty good with my morning coffee, and a beer in the evening, especially after a nice grilled steak. And there's just something about the smell of a fine pipe or cigar.

The coffee stains my teeth far more the the cigs ever do, and as for harming those around your; I've known some very old people that were born, raised and lived during the age when smoking was everywhere; elevators, airplanes, movie theaters, etc., and either didn't smoke, or were "social smokers" or were chain smokers. Cancer didn't kill em either.

Then there are those that have never smoked, or drank; lived as healthy a lifestyle as they could, and either died of cancer or heart disease or something else.

Life's a crap shoot. Ya roll the dice and takes your chances. So just enjoy what you enjoy and allow others the right to do the same.

Limit your red meat intake. Red meat can be a cause of body odor,

It discolors your teeth.

Crest White Strips

It gives you cancer.

Maybe, maybe not. Lots of vegetarians out there make the same claim about beef.

It lingers in the furniture.

Febreze.

It harms those around you.

No it doesn't. They just don't like the smell.

There’s not even close to enough scientific studies linking it to anything to even start down that road.

Give them time, you'll be demonized soon enough.
