Your bio says "Live Free Or Die." Well, we ARE trying to live free.
I don't understand your post, Jim. Quit? Quit what? Quit smoking? Quit Free Republic? What are you saying to me.
I hope you quit smoking, because we need you to stay alive.
Note that I said, " I hope". I completely defend your right to do what you want, but that doesn't mean I defend the absurd proposition that smoking isn't bad for you.
It's not bad-it's terribly bad.
The reality of how bad smoking is has nothing to do with your freedom to do it.
