I would be happy to do so.
You see, my younger (by 6 years) sister had an asthma attack at the age of several days back in the late 1950's.
Our wise (and wizened) family physician recommended my father blow tobacco smoke at her occasionally.
That was her last asthma attack.
She became a grandmother last April.
Physicians used to prescribe smoking (and caffeine imbibing) to stave off and stop respiratory problems.
I am convinced that more kids have asthma today because they don't get to eat their pound of dirt at an early age, and are not exposed to things like tobacco smoke because of all the hysteria.
It may take a massive civil uprising, along with the accompanying hardship to get people back to relishing campfires, red meat and tobacco, along with all the other politically-incorrect "bad" habits which made our forebears surprisingly healthy and able to create and provide for us.
We're looking forward to celebrating my Father's 80th birthday shortly (smoked at least a pack of cigarettes every day since he was 9).
Any questions?
Yup, it makes sense, I am old enough to remember when everyone smoked, and it was not a big deal. People weren't "Allergic" to smoke and we didn't have anywhere near as much asthma as we have today.
You wont ever convince the antis, they have years and YEARS of brainwashing and can only repeat "Smoking bad" over and over again.
See I told him it was an amazing story. Too bad the tobacco treatment didn't work for me. Tobacco smoke causes my asthma. I have never heard of asthma starting at several days old but whatever you say elkieboy.
Tobacco is numbered amongst the things that made our forebears suprisingly healthy? Please, that's pure idiocy. That level of intelligence isn't even worthy of DU, let alone Free Republic, so I have no idea where to tell you to go. That's just stupid man.
