All I'm asking for are the numbers when "you did the math".

"Abhorant sexual devience is being touted, and my purogative to smoke
is
increasingly threatened."

JS I don't see any message in this thread where anyone touted
anything involving sex. And I'm not threatening your decision to
smoke, but I am presenting well established information about the
correlation between smoking and numerous serious health problems.

JS But lets stick with the first question...where are the numbers.

Apparently, you feel as though you've got me cornered on this issue of
math.
Again, my math is of the casino variety. A gambler's odds.
I'm simply trying to appeal to a more philosophical aspect of the
issue.
If the higher thinkers, the enlightened one's amidst us in our
culture, invoke their will on me, I'll squirm out from under the boot.
I maintain that I am free to smoke. If I blow my smoke in your face,
I've crossed a line.
You're free not to smoke. If you reach for my freedom, you've crossed
a line. Darren

Please feel free to smoke as many high priced cartons of cigarettes as
you wish.

I thank you for that, sir, and may I say, I fully intend to. Darren

Darren,

I salute you with a Partagas Number Ten!

When the nagging nannies try to lecture me, I drop an "F-bomb" or
two. There is no reasoning with either the rabid nonsmoker proselytizers,
nor with most smokers.

For myself, I choose to not allow myself to be treated as a pariah.

You're better off just putting the Nazis in your killfile.

This goes out to the oxygen-tent guy, who had the problem with a pesky
smoker. On the behalf of smokers everywhere, I apologise for his
uncivil behavior. Darren

I think we were all better of and less paranoid back in the old days before
the health Nazis came along. Yea we live longer now days but we're
constantly being told that everything can kill us. It's a drag!

'Well, you know, smoking takes ten years off your life,' Yeah,
but it's the ten years at the END, isn't it, folks? It's the wheel
chair, adult diaper years. You can have those years! We don't
want them!"
