Those Truth commercials get on my nerves, though. Do you think some 30 year old smoker sees one of those commercials for the first time, and in shock, gasps: Cigarettes KILL people?!

It's a waste of money and time; they act like people who smoke are 100% victims of malicious tobacco companies. THEY chose to smoke. More power to them if they want to quit. Just don't smoke in front of me, damnit.

Suing the tobacco companies for giving you lung cancer, if you're a smoker is like suing McDonalds for being fat.

I work on a cardiopulmonary floor, and hacking people, both old and young, has always turned me away from cigarettes. It's pathetic seeing these people in bare hospital gowns, hacking their lungs out and going outside in 30 degree weather with their IV poles to smoke outside. Plus, that whole "do 25 jumping jacks, then breathe through a coffee stirrer and that's like emphysema" thing in 3rd grade scared me shitless.
