All About Smoking

[kyreb1862]

Remember, smoking doesn't kill people. People who are trying to quit
smoking kill people.


One poll says 73% of Americans favor raising the cigarette tax. It's
only fair. Since smokers aren't around as long as the rest of us,
they should pay more while they're here.


She quit smoking once for six days. And then they untied her.


Trying to quit smoking can drive you nuts -- especially when you try
to light your nicotine gum and can't find your lighter.


Marlboro has a line of outdoor gear for smokers. They recommend you
buy it a size larger so paramedics don't have to cut it off of you.


The Marlboro clothing is very functional. The denim jacket has
electric heart paddles sewed right into the lining, and there's a
backpack that can hold a portable respirator.


He stopped smoking and extended his life expectancy. His wife is furious.


While waiting in my Doctor's office He asked if he could smoke. The
receptionist said it would be OK, but if he caught fire he would be
responsible for paying for the water damage if the sprinklers went
off.

When my wife was in the ER after her heart attack, she told the doctor it was caused by the stress of having quit smoking 8 weeks earlier. He did not agree.

They usually don't agree with that logic. Especially the younger ones, who are non smokers from day one and have no understanding of how it was once "cool" to smoke and that "everyone" did it.

Hopefully, she will never pick another one up again.

I too did not agree with Peg...
She now has to fight the urge to go tell other smokers to quit, although when her sisters were here to visit she really missed having an outdoor smoking break alone.
:crazy:

It is by far the most hateful thing we ever did to ourselves. I will maintain Sir Walter was duped. The natives knew the effects of tobacco, and were smokin' somethin' else! :wink: They sold Walt a ship's hold full of tobacco knowin' he'd HAVE to convince all at home it was worth the trip and expense. Once they were addicted there was no alternative... and the North Americans were laughin' in their teepees.

And then we went to South America and picked up some chocolate and cocaine and the rest is history...

A couple of shots of George Dickle on the rocks and a reasonably good cigar while sitting out on my deck as the evening cools off a hot day; well, that just works fine for me.
