While you have a point about the hazards of smoking, we all have to die of something, don't we?
Don't smoke? Don't drink? Eat Fat? Crave Sugar? Got the munchies? Steak and Dairy products..BAD! Everything that's good, is bad for us?
No matter how healthy a life-style, people are gonna feel mighty stupid when they're in the hospital "dying from nothin"...sw

As a conservative, a Republican, and a North Carolinian, I am uncomfortable in the anti-smoking camp. And I do not relish the prospects of local, state, or Federal laws making unreasonable demands on private enterprise. Nor do I think I'm going to instantly contract lung cancer by entering a smoky bar.
OTOH, I can't understand how anyone can think it's a great idea to roll up dried leaves, set them on fire, and suck the smoke into their lungs. To the extent possible, I avoid such people, both as acquaintances and as employees.

This weekend, while in Stateville, N.C., I met a woman who edits a Holistic Medicine magazine. She eats no red meats, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, etc. etc. She looked like a cadaver. She was exceptionally thin and had a wasted look about her that was frightening. No thank you, if that's healthy, I don't think I'll be trying it.
