Still smokin' and NOT ashamed despite mothers shielding their children's eyes lest they observe an evil smoking veteran. I know(think) there will be plenty (or not) comments on this one.

NO MORE NANNYISM!
men who smoke have far less chance of "contracting" prostrate cancer...and a list of other ailments...
the governemtns concern for our "health"...remains...

No smoking, but it’s okay to take it in the rear.

I think a soldier should be able to smoke a Camel if he wants to.

Smoking NAZI’s aren’t restricting smoking to save smokers, they’re doing it because they hate smokers. BTW, I don’t smoke, but I don’t hate smokers.

I have no problem with this.
The taxpayers - current and future - pay for military health care.
Fewer smokers mean costs go down, plus, healthier human beings and families.
To: rktman
Very hard. It’s odious that we expect our fighters to be in top physical shape, but then provide them discounted drugs that are detrimental to their fitness.

This from the same organization that, in the past, made sure everyone had all the smokes they wanted. Get off this politically correct bs and let our warriors smoke if they want. Cancer is not a great concern for those who are tagets

Every MRE should come with two or three Camels.
If ya don't smoke 'em, they're good for barter and poker games.

I really despise liberals. I'm an ex-smoker, but support folks right to smoke.
In fact, when I'm close to death, I will instruct my son to bring a shot of the finest bourbon and a cigarette.

When I was in USMC Boot Camp in 1966, and a “Smoking Formation” was called, the non-smokers (maybe a third of the platoon) were punished by having to run to the barracks, grab their toothbrushes and ‘Non-smokers: Brush your fangs!’

When I served in the Navy, untaxed “sea stores” cigarettes sold on shipboard for one dollar a carton. In some foreign ports you could sell a pack of Camels (fancy U.S. imports, dont’cha know) for a quarter! Sell a few packs, there’s your beer money.
