This article implies that Bozo created thousands of jobs driving vehicles smuggling tobacco into the US and an army of regulators to enforce the new rules. It would be funny if it wasn’t true.
Read the article, he says Bozo created smuggling jobs, driving tobacco trucks into the country! It isn’t meant as a compliment to Bozo.
I think the fact that it is true is what makes it funny.
[[You’re taking your chances with smoking.]]
Yeah I know- but just can’t give em up- I quite drinking cold turkey- drugs cold turkey- but ciggs- I’ve tried for about 20 years now to quit oiff and on- oh well- gonna just enjoy hte ride while it last- take my nedicine if it comes
LOL!
Only 7% of smokers get lung cancer so it would not be a small percentage.
You seem to have a bizarre interest in strangers' penises Why would you care?
How does that make you feel?
Lol- we should al lsend that questionaier to Barack Obummer
Try the electronic cigarette. I’m not pimping their product but it’s a Godsend.
Just another example of capitalists and inventors kicking tyranny up and down the sidewalk for public amusement.

So only 7% of me is goign to get cancer? Cool! I choose to get it in my big toe.
This week did you make your quota and recruit any teenagers to start smoking?
Mine sure works. Works just fine.
I did try it Eric- Couldn’t stand it- I smoked just as many real ciggs when using hte thing- I just couldn’t get it through my pea-brain that I was gettting the nic from the things my body ‘needed’, and I was actually overdosing- I tried all sorts of custom made vaping juices- some I even made my self- bout a large bottle of the main ingredient (can’t remember hte name now- but it’s the stuff bakers use for candies actually) and tried several different brands of eciggs, ecigars from Ruyan (which actually weren’t too bad- but still I smoked real ciggs), and e-pipe as well- still got them all- sitting collecting dust- To me, they just don;’t cut hte mustard as far as replacing hte real thing I’m afraid
At present, the only legal way to smoke the real 'gift of gods' is to buy additive free natural tobacco (several companies make these) and stuff or roll your own (see RYO intro here and forum here).
Another damaging effect you suffered, judging from your other comments here, was witch doctor effect -- your belief and fear that smoking was harming you was in fact killing you. Being civilized you may believe yourself immune to such primitive effect (which can kill only some superstitious savages). In fact, you are likely as awed by the "science" of our modern medicine men as any naked savage ever was by the "powers" and knowledge of his medicine men. The chronic stress of believing deeply, as you seem to do, that each puff is peeling away your life force, killing you bit by bit, is doing the same kind of damage that kills some savage after his medicine man points a monkey bone at him, shakes it, telling him he will die (unless he submits and pays up to lift the death curse, which is roughly what our medicine men are doing to smokers). Our medicine men use more modern props than monkey bone, but the physiology behind the effectiveness of such 'death curse' is exactly the same for you as it is for the any 'naked savage'. In fact, this deadly effect in modern settings has been quantified on none other than smokers and the 'death curse' upon them:
The 72 who answered 'yes', while admitting that their views were taken from information in the media, had an almost three times higher death rate at the end of 13 years than those who were not so influenced.
Fear can kill. This has been known since disease was first studied. We are entitled to wonder how many people have been killed more by the fear of 'smoking related diseases' than by any actual disease itself. (from a book "Murder a Cigarette: the Smoking Debate" by J. Hatton, R. Harris)

If I was a teenager- I’d start smoking just to piss you off- just for the hell of it- Even if it killed me, it’d still be worth it watchign antismokers froth at hte mouth abotu smokers.

Drango, I don't know if you realize it but this is the first real progress that we have made in your treatment. You have finally admitted your real issue. We are getting closer to the cause of your psychosis. This is real progress.
Teenagers can't afford to smoke and you can't do it in any trendy clubs now. They just do coke and ecstasy instead.
How does that make you feel?
[[three times higher death rate at the end of 13 years than those who were not so influenced.]]
They died on the third floor eh?
I’m a newbie when it comes to e-cigs. I’m not really interested in or prepared for a debate on RYO vs e cigs. I think you and Randall would have a great discussion.
I’m trying to treat a very sick patient right now. I’m on call.
