There is NOTHING in the world that thinks they kmow more about everything than a teenager.
I was that way,my now middle aged kids were that way,and my grandchildren are rapidly getting there.
The aforementioned kids that I had(there were 5 of them)all grew up in a smoke filled home and turned out to be athletic non-smokers. It was the same for many kids of their generation,the over hyped baby-boomers.

That is not what bothers me though. What bothers me is that when I speak my mind and it is not the same view as the posters on this thread, I am excessively chastised. I have been a strong advocate for conservative causes, including going as far as leading counter protest against hippies when they had a 5:1 advantage against us- but I say one thing about the dangers of smoking and I get ganged up on. There is a difference between debate and personal attacks. If anyone would like to do either, send me mail through FR Mail, but after this week, I have finals to study for...
