As a part time volunter with a local hospic I see the end resault that smoking has on about 23-30% of smokers. From what I've seen it's not an easy way to die. A small percentage of people suffer with COPD not from their smoking, but from job related causes. Others, such as myself suffer from a genetic disorder called Alpha 1 deficiency. Exposure to tobacco or any other type smoke causes them major harm . Due to its toxic content tobacco smoke may be the worst.

Pet owners and/or parents with rug rats who keep on smoking must not know about damage Third Hand Smoke does to them, or maybe the self-centered Bastards don't give a F-in Damn.

Because of of their smoking, many smokers get to die years earler than they would have if they didn't smoke. Please keep on puffing you dummy suckers, because as it is traffic on our highways is to heavy. Smoke and die early, we won't miss you a bit.

Degenerate Riffraff sometimes post lies and absurd things about others. They and their ilk are as a general rule people with low self esteem and major feelings of lack of self worth. Not all are smokers, but sad to say we have such a crank (Nut Head) stupid poster, who I have reason to believe is a smoker posting on this thread. It's people like him who do harm to any legitament claims smokers might have, and makes them all look bad.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Aquarius

The emotional atmosphere is quite potent under this Lunar Eclipse, evoking a sense of crisis. The problems you've been experiencing with a certain person lately come to a head during the next fortnight, making you feel that you have to take drastic action or lay down the law. Yet this could make the situation worse than ever, especially if you act from a sense of panic or desperation. Take things gently and don't throw your weight around unless it's absolutely necessary.
