Undoubtedly caves were involved.

That's because Al Gore invented caves.

They can't keep killers off our airliners, but they can enforce tobacco criminal penalties no problem.

BINGO!!!

You forgot to add that a very large percentage of male cigarette smokers get impotent at a young age (although judging from commentary on another thread, many blame the impotence on being circumcised).

[SheLion]

That's why, before you buy off of the Net, you ask them if they turn in their customer list. Some have. But the ones we post in here do NOT! Your safe! :)

Oh sure! Just like if you "eh eh" too much, you will go blind. One kid said "well, can I "eh eh" until I need glasses?" Give me a break. LOL!

My uncle smoked three packs a day and had "5" girls!

In Maine at the Military Guard Unit BX, cartons are over $30 dollars a carton. So it's not worth the gas now to go down there to stock up. So, I roll our own.

#52....... 15% is not factual, it's more like 3%.

For just being a "myth," there sure is a lot of literature out there on the subject including THIS.

Just check google and you will see TONS of similar material online.

I wouldn't assume that all smokers know that they have a 15% chance of getting lung cancer.

I saw one article citing a survey concluding that most smokers think cigarettes are eight times as harmful as they actually are.

[Freedom4US]

LOL!! That would be a great bumper sticker, or, better yet, a great "no smoking" sign for businesses, restaurants and other establishments run over by the Politically Correct Express, Limited. I know Der Fuehuer doesn't want us to smoke, but.. Come to think of it, how did a homosexual non-smoking socialist vegetarian get lumped into the 'right wing' anyway...? Hm.

You have to consider the source. We have found through much research, that the anti smoking cartel will spin everything and twist the true facts.

For every link that the anti's put in print, we can produce a link to counteract it.

Medical Liars - Do It For The Money

And Doctors are the WORST ones to put forth inaccurate, deceitful and dishonest information about smoking. Most of them or their hospitals, are in the pocket of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The more health care controls and restricts smoking, the higher grant money they will receive. They are chopping off the head of the smoker in order to feed from blood money from the RWJ Foundation:

More States Receive Funding To Fight Tobacco Use

The last time I bought a carton, it cost me $3.50

Geez, ya look great for your age, Methuselah.
;O)

Also, PJ, I don't know how old you are, but smoking has been around for hundreds and hundreds of years. How the heck did ANY of us live a good long life since we smoked?

Also, if smoking causes impotence, how do you explain the huge families people are having?

The anti's have an agenda to do away with smokers and smoking. They will blame EVERYTHING on smoking hoping to scare enough smokers into quitting. Once we have researched all of this nonsence, we aren't falling for it.

When asked how many cartons of cigarettes he sells per month, Chief Wallace, a stocky man wearing two braids, denim shorts and flip-flops, responded, "It's none of your business."

Chief Wallace shrugged and lighted another cigarette. "If they're so bad, make them illegal," he said. "In the meantime, leave me alone."

ROFLOL! I adore Chief Wallace!

[SheLion]

Good post, there!

These issues always remind me of a 20+ year WHO study released in 97/98 that revealed (much to their dismay) the risk factors of second hand smoke were negligible at best. They were damned embarrassed and the study received almost NO press coverage (I only found out about it cause I was on the ‘net and FR back then). If memory serves, only the overseas press had much to say about it.
I noted recently they tried to backpedal on the study and have “revised” its outcome/effects.

I smoke, it’s a dirty nasty filthy habit but hey, I’ve helped pay for the Browns and Indians stadium (sin tax) and now I’m paying more tax to help balance the state budget. Doesn’t that entitle me to a little respect? Perhaps not.
