When I ultimately quit, if I don't die first, I'll be glad not to see the temptation in my face 24/7.
Cigarettes are deadly. We all know folks who have died from them and I'm next, I suppose, puff, puff.
I have a long-time friend who has lung cancer now.
Although I don't agree with the taxes, I do agree with the anti-smoking campaign, because the peer-pressure works better than prohibition, IMHO.

Peer pressure? What peer pressure? I don't consider self righteous smoking nazis my peers. Everyone has a vice...we should do a survey of NON SMOKERS and find out what their favorite vice is and lobby to TAX the H out of it in direct proportion to the rise in tobacco taxes.

Personally, no one in MY family died from smoking! All but one grandmother smoked. She died of cancer at age 42. Never smoked a day in her life. My other grandmother smoked "3" packs of Camels a day, died at age 86, from natural causes.
No, no one in our family died from smoking. My belief is this: when it's my time to go, the Good Lord will care less if I smoked or not.

#55...... One in three people will get one cancer or another in their lifetime.......... cancer isn't picky about whom it attacks.
