Money can buy anyone.
Fun fact; public smoking may prolong your life in areas where cannibalsm in practiced, as corpse connoisseurs say that smoking spoils the taste of your meat.
This didnt USED to be a consideration in North America, but given recent arrivals you may want to make this food for thought lest you become food for THEM…
Side note; the whole white dress/white stocking Nurse Ratched look was WAY more attractive than scrubs ever will be, IMO, but given the profession now welcomes Kentaji confused transtesticles, perhaps the change was ultimately for the best…
Not a cough in a carload!
My late wife started smoking cigarettes when she was a teenager and smoked them for the first 17 years that we were married. But thanks to God and being convicted that smoking wasn’t good for her or myself and our 3 kids she quit cold turkey on Feb. 1, 1994, and never smoked again. Unfortunately, my son picked up the habit, but he has quit also. I never smoked but my dad and 2 of my brothers did and they all have had cardiac issues of which I have had none.
More doctors prefer Camel cigarettes circa 1948
The most distressing thing about the news and government reporting in the past several years is that I no longer trust the science nor do I trust the news. I have actually not trusted the government for decades, and my default position with regard to politicians is that I do not trust them unless they prove otherwise.
The rise of the internet over the past several years has made it easier to double check on what is reported in the news. But instead of upping their game, the media has continued to gaslight the public on a fairly regular basis which, perversely, is a good thing because it demonstrates why they cannot be trusted.
It’s ironic; we live in an information age, but can’t trust the information.

Scoyence!!!!!
PS “It’s ALWAYS about money. If you think it’s about something else, you’re wrong, it’s still about money.”
Hell, you can’t trust anything. If you have more time than money there’s some interesting information/opinion in this one. VERY LONG, but worth the time and perhaps gaining understanding… (Regardless of your opinion of the participants)
Gaining understanding doesn’t necessarily mean the warm fuzzies.

I’ve been smoking for 50 years, and ever since I lost one of my lungs, I’ve cut my smoking in half.
Your body, your choice Mule.
But if secondhand smoke is a real thing, apologize and atone to your kinfolk. Even if you only smoke outside behind the outhouse.
Mom died from diabetes at 61. She quit smoking at 40.
Found on headstone:
Cancer cures smoking.
My dad quit smoking a couple of years before I was born (1959) – he didn’t want his kids to grow up smoking. None of us did.
Two of my employees are trying to stop smoking. To help give them more incentive, I pointed out they each were spending about $4500 a year on cigarettes. One employee has cut back to about 7 cigarettes a day, down from a pack. The other is struggling and is constantly coming up with “reaaons” why she can’t cut back. It must be a rough addiction to overcome.
…”reasons”…
It struck me funny that just as rates of smoking decline, they come up with mRNA vaccines.
So, the science-based campaign to stop smoking was based on the same science used to sell you cigarettes?

I finally quit smoking roughly a pack a day when Marlboro Flip Top went up the outrageous price of over $0.45 per pack in the early 70s. Bought the company stock when they became the “enemy of the state” and enjoyed solid dividends for many years.

In the 20’s riders in the Tour de France would light up a few prior to climbing mountain stages. Was thought to ‘clear the lungs’ to accept more oxygen.
I stopped cold turkey thirty years ago. Three days in the hospital with pneumonia helped give me extra motivation.
Dad gave up smoking when I was about 6 years old. He also gave up drinking about the same time when I went with him to the tavern. I asked him if I could have the same brown pop he was drinking instead of the 7-Up I had.
RadioMattM, I like the Commander Cody version of that song as well.
Anonymous, are you serious? Have you got such a massive stick up your butt that you don’t know quality materiel stolen from Cheech and Chong when you read it?
I’m addicted to anything I’ve done more than once and enjoyed. Quitting the smokes was much harder than quitting alcohol, over fifty years ago for both.
The Marlboro man approves this message.
Wasn’t there an interesting story about the doctors treating the plague in Geneva?
Smoker’s lung actually kept some people from catching/dying of covid-linked pneumonia. Weird stuff.
