Maybe they should ban smokers, now that their saliva is a threat to us all.

Years ago in high school we discovered that kissing a girl that smoked was like licking a used ashtray.

"Years ago in high school we discovered that kissing a girl that smoked was like licking a used ashtray."

Yeah, and algore "discovered" the internet too.

That old wives tale - designed primarily to discourage naiive teens from smoking - is older than dirt.

I would like to know who that person was who "licked a used ashtray" to make the comparison.

I've known lot of smokers, but I have yet encountered one who actually put the "ashes" in their mouth. Mostly, it's smoke...and while I wouldn't call their breath "Scope-fresh", I still haven't seen any ashes in there.

So, if you "discovered" that, you were obviously in the bunch who licked the ashtrays for comparison...I mean, otherwise, how would you know?

That old claim has no more validity than the old saying that "if a girl smokes, she's easy".

Or the other rumor that used to go around, "if you sprinkle cigarette ashes in a girls drink, it works just like Spanish Fly."

If you're going to try to convince us all that "junk science" is true, please rely on something other than old wives' tales and urban legends.
