Saw in the paper that vaccs were going to open up for people under 65 with various health conditions. Was a little surprised to see “smoking” listed as a health condition. They said they would not require proof of a condition, but were relying on the honor system. Seriously - some idiot’s smoking gets them a place in line ahead of me? So al I need to do is buy a pack of cigs, roll them up in my sleeve, and I’m good to go? ---
