Much better to live in an “hysterical state” than a state of denial*.
*the new Michigan license plate slogan. Its neighbor to the south will stick with “Four Dead In Ohio”.
My Mom died of smoking. Slowly. You see, in laymans terms, smoking slowly burns out your lungs so they can’t take in the same amount of oxygen they used to. If you lose a little lung capacity you never know it; lose too much and you’ll suffocate in minutes (mercifully).
Now imagine that your lungs are at the slightest fraction below the minimum needed to successfully operate your body. Want to know what happens??? Well, your brain becomes slowly oxygen starved and starts to die off. Its not quick and its not pretty. The effects in the beginning start to mimic alzhiemers in symptoms to observers who are non-medical people (like me).
You’ll start to need a nebulizer and an oxygen tank just to breathe.
You’ll need someone to look after you as other systems in your body start to fail.
Your world perception will change and degenerate… eventually to the point where everyone around you will think you are in a Screaming and Shrieking Hell.
(Oh, and this lasts for years before you finally die.)
And if that doesn’t kill you, lets see how you enjoy cancer.
But screw all that, Phillip. You know better. Here’s a light; drag deep. After all, stupidity Should hurt…
Me too!
Even better:
Dude - don’t post while you’re wasted.
That is all.
He’s probably just a drive-by anyway, so what’s the point?
Tobacco kills 5.1 million smokers and 600,000 other people standing nearby every year.
What if you live and work on a tobacco plantation, smart guy? *WHAT THEN??

That story, plus the revelation that new graphic antismoking photos are planned for cigarette packs in the near future are probably what has poor PHILIP all revved up.
Bad week for smokers.
Same with my grandfather, who died of emphysema.
I think I love you. 
twenty second, I’d say.
My grandfather smoked two packs a day for 50 years. Then he got run over by a cigarette truck. What’s your excuse for that, PHILLIP KALAVERAS?
I think this guy wants to be the Celebrated Jumping Frog of KALAVERAS Kounty. He jumped in then jumped out.
My cat’s breath smells like cat food!
I’d like to make a thoughtful post but my FAT ass needs a cigarette right now.
You smoke with your ass?
Yes, she does. Surly Chick smokes a cigar, and the donkey smokes camels.
AND, they’re total HARDASS skinheads and bikers, because the AHD, even hardback, weighs less than 10 pounds, so it REALLY takes a while to beat someone to death with it.
The WIMPY grammarians go for either the entire Oxford English Dictionary (20 volumes) or a rabid llama. Usually by hoisting it up in a net with a pullrope attached and a sign that says ““FREE” CIGARETT”.
Thank you for clarifying, Monkey.
Maybe if he’d lost a little weight, he could have gotten out of the way in time.
