In the 40 years that I smoked cigarettes, Lucky’s were one of my favorites.

That was my thought. While I suspect people would do well to listen to Truthoverpower, there are much worse things than chew, and chew has its uses.

I’d like to spit some beechnut in that dude’s eyes

Smoking of any type is just about the dumbest thing a person can do to their body.


Have you tried adultery? On the whole, I’d think that is worse.

In the end, I suppose you are right—they probably smoke in hell.

Levi Garrett was always my favorite when I’d go fishing.

That and eating a bunch of High-Carb Processed Food.

There's been two ways for quite a while now, the patch and gum.

They will ban it. Part of the issue is that anti-smokers will not tolerate the feeling that smokers are “getting around” their nanny-state edicts.

As smoking was banned indoors, people started vaping indoors. THAT couldn’t be tolerated so they cracked down on that.

The FDA will face immense pressure to get ahead of this before people actually decide they enjoy it.

I'd just ad in:

It’s a widely known vaping cartridge in the marijuana economy, but it’s not a licensed brand. And it’s got the kind of market buzz no legitimate company would want.

The vaping cartridges that go by the catchy, one-syllable name “Dank” — a slang word for highly potent cannabis — are figuring prominently in the federal investigation to determine what has caused a rash of mysterious and sometimes fatal lung illnesses apparently linked to vaping. Most of the cases have involved products that contain the marijuana compound THC, often obtained from illegal sources.

The suspect Dank vapes are a familiar product in the underground marijuana economy — it’s not a legal, tested brand. It’s merely a name on a box or a cartridge, packaging that’s easily obtained online and used by illicit producers to lure customers.

As a smoker I still think vaping is still a good alternative as long as you stick to known products.

Actually it is the vitamin E included in THC vaping that damages the lungs, not the THC itself.

“A Country Boy Can Survive”

The preacher man says it’s the end of time
And the Mississippi River she’s a-goin’ dry
The interest is up and the Stock Market’s down
And you only get mugged if you go downtown

I live back in the woods, you see
My woman and the kids, and the dogs, and me
I got a shotgun, a rifle, and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk ‘til dawn
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke, too
Ain’t too many things these old boys can’t do
We grow good old tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Because you can’t starve us out
And you can’t make us run
‘Cause we’re them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say “grace” and we say “Ma’am”
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coal mines
And the Rocky Mountains and the western skies
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trotline
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And I’d send him some homemade wine

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
I’d love to spit some beech nut in that dude’s eyes
And shoot him with my old .45
‘Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

‘Cause you can’t starve us out and you can’t make us run
‘Cause we’re them old boys raised on shotgun
And we say “grace” and we say “Ma’am”
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

We’re from North California and South Alabama
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trotline
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
