You're joking right? The info is repressed?!? Hell, every busybody non-smoker on the planet quotes little factoids to smokers every chance they get. There are TV ads, magazine ads, etc. A smoker goes to the doctor for a broken bone they get a lecture about smoking. Please.

I've been smoking for over 40 years. If I'm suicidal, I'm really patient.

My lungs are fine (had a chest x-ray recently for another issue altogether). I don't have cancer, emphysema, asthma, or any of the other bugaboo diseases that are constantly crammed down my throat as the penalty for smoking. I've outlived several acquaintances who didn't smoke and were health nuts.

I'll grant you it doesn't smell good to non-smokers.

Oh, and I'm not depressed or dependent on smoking to save me from my useless existence either. I started smoking to emulate my big brother, who was my hero. I'll grant you that. But does it ever occur to self-righteous non-smokers that maybe we just enjoy smoking?

I could use all of these arguments against your use of cannabis. Does that make is so?

Bottom line is, no one gets out of this alive. How about you let other folks live how they want to live and worry about your own self? :thumbsup:
