Why is Charlie Ergen a big Obama suppporter?

I’d guess more crony capitalism than ideology.

Actually the culture benefit ted from the relaxation of smoking. Focused breathing and frequent stops to clear the mind throughout the day.

Can't think of many benefits of smoking.....

Here's five, including protection against Parkinson's, obesity and even (some types of) heart attack.

Tom Selleck was my fave. Black hair, blue eyes. Anyway, emphysema runs on both sides of my family.

It's the additives.

And many of them are required by the same government that demonizes them.

Your post was about 02 bottles. Why do you pity the users?

Most look so debilitated. Riding thru W-M on their battery powerd scooters.

I assume most would not be in that condition if they had avoided smoking, overweight, etc.

RIP. My grandfather died from lung cancer at the age of 93. I can still see him plowing behind two mules, take his papers out of his coveralls, a can of Prince Albert, pour the tobacco into the paper, put the can and papers back into his pockets, roll the cigarette and light it with a strike anywhere match. Never missed a step.

You are right.

COPD isn’t all smoking can cause, Heart disease, Crohns, Rheumitoid Arthritis, Prostate Issues, Cancer of the Esophagus and Stomach have all been directly tied to smoking. Smoking contributes to impotence also.

Sure some people get cancer who have never smoked, even lung cancer. However, I see no good thing that comes from smoking. Some of these people live 7-10 years with severe pain, hospital trips, and a life on oxygen, many smoke right up until the end. Quality of life is not about doctors, oxygen tanks, and bedridden pain.

If a person can quit smoking, they would be wise to do so.

The idea that illness is a punishment for something you did still lurks in the American psyche. People like to think only bad people that smoked get certain diseases.

Life is much more complicated than that.

I will add you to my prayer list.

Everyone has to die from something.

Yep. I'm pretty sure of a short list of things that are most likely to get me.

I almost bought it when I fell off a mountain during a blizzard back in 2009. I managed to get by, only losing a spleen, kidney and spending 2 weeks in ICU.

That one wasn't on the list. ;)

Shot by a jealous husband is one of the ones I prefer. Probably will be a lot less interesting though.

“Besides that COPD is a horrible way to go, in some ways as bad as going with cancer.”

Other than dying peacefully in your sleep what are the easy-to-die diseases?

Laying in the snow bleeding out was remarkably peaceful. If it hadn't been for the pain of the smashed kidney and spleen, broken ribs and verts, that might not be a bad way to go.
