I am LIVING (I think) proof that second hand smoke is a scam.

My Mom smoked when she was pregnant with me, smoked while I was a baby, and smoke my whole life while living in her house.

I started smoking at the age of 12, at 41, I am now up to 3 packs a day.

I am a truck driver who keeps the windows up all the time, summer to use the air conditioner, winter to use the heater. The wing window is cracked about a half inch most of the time.

So I probably get 2nd, 3rd and 4th hand smoke. As I stated above, I think I'm still alive (it's hard to tell sometimes).

Not only is my state using the cigarette settlement money for everything but what it is for, they raised our taxes another 75 cents a pack.

Do I care? NO!!!!

I get mine from the reservation at $13.00 a carton.

For those not old enough to remember, it used to say on the side of the packs "Smoking Causes Cancer". You will notice that it no longer says that, because they can't prove it.

Everyone is born with the cancer cell in their body. Now how your own body handles it is an individual thing.

I have known many people who have smoked like I do who never got cancer, and just as many who NEVER smoked who died of cancer.

Seems to me that smoking is only hazardous to non smokers. My advice, everyone start smoking, it may save your life.

Your story is the story of most of us. Born into smoking homes; most of family smoked; hung out in smoky disco's and bars before the big smoke eaters. Friends who didn't smoke, could care less. They hung out with us all the same.

Then, along came this group of ANTI SMOKE haters, started receiving lots of MONEY through the Tobacco Settlement Money, and now here we sit.

I have been rolling my own now for almost two years. One carton for under $8.00 and NOT paying into the rabid dog state coffers anymore. Happy? You bet I am.

We still have three restaurant/bars up here that accommodates smokers, and THAT'S who gets our money.
