Sitting here drinking my first cup and just had my first smoke...I may be silly, but I thought the rape of the tobacco companies in court and the extremely punitive AZ tobacco tax I have to pay...were supposed to cover the high cost of our health problems!

Then again, since I have only missed 2-3 days a year (on average) from work due to illness in my 40 years of working, and have been smoking for 43 years...maybe they owe me some money!

These stupid twits look like deer in the headlights when you ask them...

Why is it that 9 of the 10 documented longest-lived persons in recent history smoked until they were 100?

Yes indeed, my husband retired with nearly a year of unused sick leave, he didn't get it paid, which by the way I agree with....... but the politicians gets unused sick leave payouts.

My husband has smoked since he was 13, is now 70, very seldom sees a doctor, and is not on any kind of meds.
