We're all gonna die!!!!!

Some of these claims are just over the top.

Hey Regina, name one person who died after smoking one cigarette.

The surgeon general is tossing credibility out the window with this absurd claim.

“Hey Regina, name one person who died after smoking one cigarette.”

Well, there was this guy at the firing squad. But I don’t think that nicotine was the cause of death. . .

One encounter with your gay lover....oops maybe I’m not allowed to say that. Why isn’t homosexuality considered a dangerous life style?

One conversation with a progressive may cause your head to explode.

What next?

Of the people who get lung cancer, only 10% are smokers. And we’re living longer...so the studies make absolutely no sense.

I have shared the quote set forth below and some enjoyed it. With that in mind:

"I don’t want any of your statistics. I took your whole batch and lit my pipe with it. I hate your kind of people. You are always ciphering out how much a man’s health is injured, and how much his intellect is impaired, and how many pitiful dollars and cents he wastes in the course of ninety-two years indulgence in the fatal practice of smoking; and in the equally fatal practice of drinking coffee; and in playing billiards occasionally; and in taking a glass of wine at dinner; etc. etc. etc. ...You never see but one side of the question. You are blind to the fact that most old men in American smoke and drink coffee, although, according to your theory, they ought to have died young; and that hearty old Englishing drink wine and survive it, and portly old Dutchmen both drink and smoke freely, and yet grow older and fatter all the time. And you never try to find out how much solid comfort, relaxation and enjoyment a man derives from smoking in the course of a lifetime, (and which is worth ten times the money he would save by letting it alone) nor the appalling aggregate of happiness lost in a lifetime by your kind of people from NOT smoking.” MARK TWAIN SAN FRANCISCO, 1865

Gads, the street should be littered with bodies. This is so ridiculous it’s hard to know where to begin.

I shudder when a public physician makes such an asinine and totally irresponsible statement. This puts him and his office on the same spectral line as the snake oil salesmen. Both treat their customers/patients as being to dumb to have an educated opinion.

What an A**wipe.

I tuned out these Substance Crisis Cretins PERMANENTLY about 20 years ago, when they threw their nonsensical, bullshit machine into high gear to spew the utter bilge that mother’s milk was unhealthy for babies.

How absurd? This is ridiculous. Where are the piles of dead bodies? Where are the statistics of 10-14 year olds dropping dead from smoking their first cigarette they stole from mom or dad? I can't remember a single one of my peers dropping dead from this. We all smoked.

Also, many of the LCVTs landing at Normandy on D day opened up only to have all the soldiers already dead from smoking.

Is Nick Nolte dead? I just watched Mulholland Falls (great movie, warning some nudity, sexual content) It was almost ridiculous, but in EVERY (and I mean EVERY) scene Nick Nolte lights another cigarette. He should be dead just from that movie alone, never mind all the drugs and alcohol.

Surgeon general: 1 cigarette is 1 too many

Govt: "But keep buying anyway, we need the tax revenue."

or inhaling someone else's secondhand smoke

They've milked the tobacco industry so now it's time to move on to "secondhand smoke"..............With all the anti-tobacco studies that have been conducted over the past 40 years I find it ironic that they have just now discovered that second hand smoke is allegedly causing problems......

It's called "incrementalism".........

Whatever, the F'n govt. is now free to do what it pleases just so long as it pleases those with their agendas.....

Please pass me a french fry before they're banned and hand me a beer before it's taxed beyond affordability like cigarettes have been........Since the tobacco industry is being tapped out, they're now turning elsewhere to make up the loss in revenues and alcohol and french fries are the current target......LOL!

And one twinkie is one too many. Especially for the Surgeon General. Ever seen a picture of Regina? (I would post one but I’m on my way to work)

The very notion of gathering leaves up, drying them out, setting them on fire, and then inhaling the smoke is something that I’ve never considered indulging in.

Go on though, party on.

It is almost still a free Country.

This is Obama's Surgeon General.

Hey Regina honey, I would say one Twinkie is one too many. Knock off the Twinkies and Coke, Mama. I don't think the Surgeon General believes in the First Wookie's healthy eating plans.

Every damn one of Obama's people looks like a freaking SEIU goon. Every damn one of them.
