I have put everything up my nose and injected mysterious substances from the Internet.

But have never once out a cigarette in my mouth.

However, I did get addicted to zyn/zone on March 28, 2023.

I wonder how many plants humans dried and smoked before they decided tobacco was the one to go with.

Sounds kind of high. That is a lot of people having unprotected sects.


There’s less than 70 million females in the baby making age range in the USA. All of them would have to have an abortion every year and some would have to do it twice a year. That 78 million number is a Poli Board kind of statistic.

I remember the Saturday night booray games at my parents home in the late 60s. The room had a cloud of smoke just hanging in the air. I now believe my parents smoking had a lot to do with my asthma as a child.

Maybe it is from the same Dillard study group that said Essence had 400,000 visitors and has the same impact as Jazz Fest.

Must have used Common Core Math to come to that number.

See people vaping a lot. Looks so stupid. Not saying it’s as bad as cigarettes but there no way it’s good for you. Pretty sure I saw a middle school age girl vaping on the way to the bus stop the other day. That was pretty sad.

They could be $100 per pack and people would still go into debt buying them while complaining about the price of gas.

In the 50's and 60's it was not uncommon for a doctor to have a lit cig in the examination room with you.


Not kidding.....Back in the 80s I had a dentist that would smoke while working on my teeth. He had a ashtray behind on the counter....he'd take a drag then go back to working on my teeth. It didn't faze me at all....Good dentist too.

My grandmother smoked all of her life. She ended up having a small stroke in her late 70's and never smoked again. I guess the stroke killed that part of her brain that had the addiction. That's the only thing I can think of lol.
