Smoke if you want to, but don't kid yourself into thinking it's harmless. You may be lucky and live to a vigorours 90, but you sure aren't playing the odds if you smoke.

Listen, you might THINK we are a bunch of boobs, but we KNOW the health hazards! How about alcoholism? How about obesity? Does your Journal tell you the health hazards about this? You know, life is terminal. No one gets out of here alive.

Nobody called you a boob. Is it bad to be fat, sure. Is it bad to drink too much of course. Is it bad to not exercise absolutely. Is it a bad idea to drive without your seat belt, yup.

Hey I'm a doctor, not your mommy. I'm just stating a few facts, do with them what you will. You are right, we all die, and much of what ails us is beyond our control, but some things we can have some impact on. Make your choices, and take your chances. Just don't come crying about the injustice of it all when the bets are called.....
