Smoking is Good for your Health?


Well, I wouldn't go that far, but I will say again and again that the hysteria against smoking tobacco is overblown and is better directed at more serious vices.

Read this story of the 100 year old woman who celebrated her birthday by smoking her 170,000th cirgaretter. Does anyone want to make the argument that she would have lived a longer life without smoking?

Great for her but there are millions that have died because of smoking or smoking related diseases. Just check out the number of people caring their oxygen tanks with them. Yes there are other vices that are much worse and should gain much more attention than they get but smoking IS getting the attention it should get. Again I will say other vices SHOULD gain more attention than smoking but smoking is getting its due. Check out a lung of a dead person who smoked. Not very healthy.
