I don't think I need to go over my curriculure vitae with you. After I was discharged in 69, I did get a degree. Now I own 6 rentals in Seattle, and part interest in two Alaskan fishing boats, one a trawler, the other a salmon boat. And yes I also have a real job, but plan on retireing in twO years. My wife of 24 years is an MD, so I am well awasre of the links between smokIng and heart disease and cancer. Waskishi, you can find a dozen studies on the web if you bother. It boils down to people with very little education and a low income dominate the ranks of smokers. Oh, but that't right, you only agree with studies that agree with your little mindset.

Listen, I'm getting a little damned tired of being accused of a low income, uneducated boob that smokes.

My husband is a smoker. He fought in Viet Nam for this Country, and brought home TWO Purple Hearts. He served 25 years and is now working as an Accountant with a Government Finance Agency.

I worked as a Travel Agent for the Government and am a self taught computer programmer. So for us, your stats are a bit off base. So I say give it a rest, how about it.
