I really don't care if you smoke, either. It is a filthy, smelly habit, but if you like it, that's your business. Just don't try to tell anyone that it is not harmful until you are a senior citizen.

By the way, I don't burn wood in my fireplaces, either.

We don't consider it a filthy, smelly habit. We ALL know that smoking isn't good for your health! However, our Surgeon General recently came out with HIS report stating that OBESITY has overtaken smoking for health disease and health care!

Health & Science: Surgeon general warns obesity may overtake tobacco as leading preventable killer

and

OBESITY LINKED TO HIGHER RATES OF CHRONIC ILLNESS AND WORSE PHYSICAL QUALITY OF LIFE THAN SMOKING, DRINKING OR POVERTY THREE OF FIVE ADULT AMERICANS ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE

So now you can go pick on FAT people. How's that!

Also, people knew back in the 50's that smoking was not good for them. This is not something new the Anti Smoking nuts discovered! So, if it's so bad for us, why didn't they make it illegal? Sure is mind boggling, isn't it.

Sounds like the time I visited my aunt and almost broke a tooth on a wax apple in the fruit bowl.
