There are a number of things that will kill you, the crap they spray on foods so we don't have to eat bugshit, smoking, drinking, driving, cell phone cancer, living too long.  Why the hell would you want to live to 90 where you shit and piss yourself, can't remember your family, and yell at everyone because they don't agree with you?  Look at the whiners in THIS group who try to force their ideas of morality on everyone.  If the seniors want to smoke and eat themselves  to death - SO WHAT?  Park out back and drive around them - and mostly shut the hell up - opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink.   Live and let live, you aren't the boss of EVERYONE you know.   Dave       In a message dated 5/27/2006 12:26:01 P.M.

Some people don't get a second chance but at least they'll finally quit!    You know alcohol is by far a lot worse than smoking it's extremely bad on the liver and has a couple side effects it ruins families, kills innocent bystanders, years of child abuse and rape, beats it's spouses and does it daily. If I had a choice which to ban it would be alcohol.   Mark   -------Original Message-------   From: ~LittleQuad~ Date: 05/27/06 13:59:09 To: RollinOn; quad-List@eskimo.com; Silas Subject: Re: Fw: [QUAD-L] Handicap Parking-smoking   but you DID mark and so can anyone with willpower! bravo to you!

Number one back in the day when smoking was considered cool and high class tobacco co's not farmers told people that smoking was almost good for you and started experimenting with additives to make the body crave it just like alcohol and it worked. Most people that smoke don't even want to anymore and just saying quit or you're going to die proves how addictive it is and extremely hard if not impossible for a majority of people. It cost a person $1400 a year to smoke at a pack a day and if that isn't reason enough to quit nothing is. I smoked about 3 1/2 years after sci and it still wasn't easy to quit even though it helped give me pneumonia on several occasions. It's terrible to smoke but it isn't easy to quit and I still have cravings to this day and just like an alcoholic I take it day by day.     Mark   -------Original Message-------   From: Silas Date: 05/26/06 18:06:11 To: quad-List@eskimo.com Subject: Fw: [QUAD-L] Handicap Parking-smoking     ----- Original Message ----- From: Silas To: ~LittleQuad~ Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 3:58 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Handicap Parking-smoking Now Now Little Quad, I know smoking is not the right choice, it mite have helped kill my dad.  But it was his choice to smoke, just like a lot more things we chose to do to our bodies. Like over eating, drinking alcahol taking drugs just to name a few.  We all seem to forget that tobacco made America what it is today, it got the settelers on their feet so they could buy supplies.  Im a tobacco farmer and a American, I believe in freedom of choice.  I also was a smoker before my accident, but I never smoked in a public place or where I thought it mite bother another person.  Its called RESPECT thats what wrong with the world today, the lack of respect!  Sorry if this affended anybody, just had to jump in defend tobacco its provided cloths and food for my family for 4 generations .
