I have mixed feelings about the weed. My mother was a hard core habitual smoker, one of two siblings in her family who were that way, and empirically it looks like it took a great toll on her life span -- she died at 57 of what was believed to be a coronary. Something similar happened to her hard-smoking brother at 59. The other two sisters lived to well over 70. Dad could take or leave it -- he'd smoke maybe two cigarettes at a party but not touch them at any other time. He perished of a bone cancer at 70, which would be difficult to tie to the occasional cigarettes.
It's best not to mess around with tobacco, but I'd sooner it, and other things whose consumption in quantity can have harmful health effects (like sugary and fatty foods), be kept well free of government interference.
My cousin died today of a brain tumor at 42 years of age.
I am certain it must have been the ciggies.
thousands died driving their autos to work today, It must be the ciggies.
Nanny-ism is ridiculous and making tax payers pay for enforcement is tyranny
