OK, smokers: no more Boilermakers, just Merlot. (Yeah, right...)

Polyphenols are also abundant in olive oil. So smokers, pour some olive oil on your vegetables too.

enough beneficial chemicals in two glasses of red wine to suspend the harmful effect that smoking one cigarette

So I guess that would indicate about forty glasses per pack. These people are beyond idiots......

What could be better than a fine meal--prepared with olive oil--, several glasses of good red wine followed by a nice cigar. Life doesn't get any better than that.

Researchers said Sunday there were enough beneficial chemicals in two glasses of red wine to suspend the harmful effect that smoking one cigarette has on the functioning of arteries

Hmmmm ... my wife smokes 2 packs per day, that means she would need to drink 80 glasses of wine???

That'd make her a lot of fun!

So it's two glasses of red for every cancer stick and you're fine? If you're a pack-a-day smoker, that's 20 smokes and 40 glasses of wine each day. I've heard from somewhere that a 750 ml wine bottle holds six regular wine glasses, so that's six and 2/3 bottles a day.

You can do that for a special, happy, too-short time, but your family and your boss will need to be very understanding of your particular needs while your liver holds out.

Of course, rather than trying to offset one (of many) ill effects of the habit, one could take a more direct approach, and conclude that rolling up dead leaves in paper, sticking them in your mouth, setting them on fire, and sucking the smoke into one's lungs is not a great idea. Naaaah -- too simple.

I was half listening to the PHARMA shill on FOX this morning about this report - what a crock of bravo sierra he was spouting - then again, he has always done that if there is even a hint of anything having to do with tobacco.

Anyone denying there are no risks involved in the habit of smoking is delusional, I have never denied that and never will. Yet, there are also serious AND immediate risks associated with many other habits or past-times.

These people make me ill..................now, where did I put that beer????
