Vee haff vays of mekking you conform!
What about gays “smoking” each other? That take more off your life than cigarettes.
Tobacco, but not pot.
No problem, just light up a bone instead.
Gee. College is just so worth the cost these days.

Well, I suppose a little negative reinforcement, much like the methods used to “deprogram” homosexuals, could be applied.
By using aversion therapy, the subject can learn/be conditioned into stopping some “undesirable” behavior, but when used to deprogram sexual deviancy, it is supposed to be a “bad thing”.
The path recommended by the self-styled authorities is for the individual to “want” to change. Kind of flies in the face of “voluntary” and “free will”, now doesn’t it?
If they had tried this when I was in college in the late ‘60’s, we would have staged a smoke-in.
...so tell me this: are they making all those illegal smokers (and I’m sure there are many) take reeducation classes? or is the reprogramming only for American citizens?

Re-education for liberals would have the potential of producing productive individuals for society.
But, since liberalism is a mental disease, is it possible to “educate” a disease out of diseased brains?
Best reason not to start smoking, the TRIPPLE A. Aortic Abdominal aneurysm. Almost all those who have this aneurism were smokers.
My wife’s nephew almost died of it a month ago, and he is just in his 50s.

“Anyone age 60 and older who has risk factors for developing an abdominal aortic aneurysm, such as smoking or a family history of abdominal aortic aneurysm, should consider regular screening for the condition. Because being male and smoking significantly increase the risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm, men ages 65 to 75 who have ever smoked cigarettes should have a one-time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm using abdominal ultrasound.”
Part of The Big Tobacco Settlement in the mid 1990s was supposed to provide anti-smoking education, under the guise that it would eliminate smoking.
I live in a small apartment complex of 20 units. About 1/3 of the residents are old folks and 2/3 young working singles/couples. I notice that either one or both of the young residents in most of the apartments are smokers.
The re-education portion of The Big Tobacco Settlement seems to have been a failure, like so many other do-gooder lib projects. But, then, for libs, it isn’t the success or failure that counts — it is the good intentions.
Go ahead and use drugs or drink excessive amounts of alcohol. We’ll leave you alone. But cigarettes don’t lead to promiscuity and unexpected pregnancy. IOW, they’re no good because tehy don’t help the abortion industry.
But if they puffing on MJ is legal?
why cant folks start getting niocotine prescribed for medical purposes?
Bit marijuana is ok, right?
