You keep telling yourself that. While I suppose that anyone has the right to kill themselves anyway they want, they can leave me out of it.

Anti-tobacco is Anti-American!
The leftist nanny-state just cannot bear the fact that some people are actually enjoying their lives doing what they hate.
Under normal circumstances the natural human reaction is to avoid smoke. We naturally know that sucking fumes from burning material is bad for our lungs. Everyone who has even tried smoking knows how they had to fight down the coughing reflex to start their habit. The nasty stuff found in smokers’ lungs and reduced breathing capacity is pretty straightforward evidence that cigarettes are doing bad things.
What most smokers fail to realize is how filthy and awful they smell to non-smokers. Much of my family smokes and I after I visit them I have to hold my nose on the way to the washing machine and everything my mother sends us has to be washed multiple times to get the smell out. Every surface in a smoker’s home and car is coated in brown gunk and feels grimy- even in fastidiously ‘clean’ smokers’ homes. I grew up in that stuff, when I’m in it it seems normal, but get a little distance and it is disgusting.
This crud justifying smoking is about the equivalent to pot heads and heroine justifying their own habits. Nicotine junkies are no different that any other addict is their desperate need to justify themselves and drag others down with them.
I don’t agree with attempts to bad cigarettes or even tax the heck out of them, but let not kid ourselves that the habit is any healthier than any other addiction. I don’t want to pay your medical bills either.

I’ll remember to tell my patients in the hospital dying of emphysema how much good smoking has done them. Ditto the ones dying of lung cancer. I’m sure they will enthusiastically agree with you.
Why aren’t you on my ping list? There should be an investigation.
God bless America! Land of the free and home of the brave!
This article implies that Bozo created thousands of jobs driving vehicles smuggling tobacco into the US and an army of regulators to enforce the new rules. It would be funny if it wasn’t true.
Save Us, Sarah!

Some very intense , interesting information here.
I like the author’s ideology, bur apparently smoking doesn’t prevent cranial rectalitis, because when it comes to science he has one of the biggest cases I’ve ever seen.
