The funding for all the idiotic, lying word play ads comes from the tobacco industry! It is part of the Master Settlement Agreement. Google it and find how much your state receives. My state receives 80 million dollars a year of which they spend 1% on smoking prevention programs. They will keep tobacco sales going with a 80 million dollars a year at stake. It was agreed that tobacco companies would not be held liable for any damages from smoking. The second-hand smoke danger is non-existent and the “study” was merely a public opinion poll. We live in a world filled with caustic chemicals designed to make life easier. Humans live longer than ever and that is not necessarily a good thing. What you have from working hard there is a horde of people trying to take it away from you. Remember that your pay is merely pieces of paper that we all must agree has value or it becomes worthless and that day will come. Be prepared. The only person you can really fool consistently is yourself. ---

I liked ALF, wish he’d come back, but without the Tanners. They really slowed the show down. ---

That was one LONG smoke break to come back from… …and the join date of the reviver is perplexing. ---

If you do the “find all posts” thing, you see the bumper only has two other posts ever, both from when he just joined. Makes me wonder if it’s really the same person, or if some clown has hacked the membership list. ---

The health nazis are a bunch of control freaks. Whether it’s Prohibition, “evil rock music”, smoking, McDonalds, serving sizes, big salty pretzels, Slushees, or whatEVER, there will always be something else to ban. It isn’t about health. It’s about being able to exert control. Oh, and as an ex-smoker, to hell with “The Truth” and all their ilk. Waitaminnit. 2002?
