Don't tell me smoking isn't harmful. I knew a guy in the seventh grade who came to school with a swollen lip. Turns out he'd stolen a car the night before and dropped his cigarette on the floor. He leaned down to find it and, boom! He hit a parked car. Busted his lip. So don't tell me smoking isn't hazardous to your health!

It occurs to me that whole bunch of folks are missing your point. Smokers are probably so apoplectic because they're just realizing that the government actually can banish them to the forbidden zone with the stroke of a pen. I mean really, it only took them 66 years to catch on.

Remember Air Florida Flight 90 in 1982 I believe, That was the one which crashed into the icy Potamac in Washington D.C. and there was 4 surviviors that were rescued from the river live on T.V.
Well the only people who survived the crash were smokers sitting in the smoking section while everyone else sitting in the healthly nonsmoker section was killed. So smoking saved their lives.
