โ€œSmoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.โ€ โ€“ Fletcher Knebel

Unfortunately many people still smoke regardless of the research and even kids still think it is cool. Hey if your parents can do it and they have always told you they know what is best, why canโ€™t you?

I donโ€™t care if the cigarette companies advertise that they have light cigarettes, low tar (that sounds healthy, eaten any asphalt lately?), all natural ingredients or fiber. Smoking is terrible for your body. End of discussion.

Now Iโ€™m not going to bash smokers here. I will use sarcasm and science just to inform and educate people on the reasons they should stop. Donโ€™t shoot the messenger. I have friends who smoke and would just like to keep them healthier longer.

As far as I can remember, each house has a chimney to remove the smoke and deadly fumes. If smoke wasnโ€™t bad then seal up the chimney and close the flue. Keep your windows closed when you smoke in your vehicle and donโ€™t throw the darn butt in the streets. Iโ€™m going to start throwing my apple cores on your yard. Hey and they are biodegradable.

As a kid it never made sense that smoking was bad, but second hand smoke wasnโ€™t. It doesnโ€™t make sense. I thought this as a kid and the govern ment continues to waste millions of our tax dollars, like they do so well, on research studies to prove the blatantly obvious. Smoke is deadly period. Doesnโ€™t matter if youโ€™re smoking alfalfa sprouts. Remember stop, drop and roll? โ€œQuestion. Firemen wear oxygen masks so they donโ€™t breathe in โ€ฆ (BZZZ) &hell
