I smoke Cigars daily and other tobacco products on occasion, I enjoy my smokes, so anyone that would like to tell me what I can and can not do with my lungs can go suck a log! That said, I don't inflict my habits on others by smoking around non-smokers, mainly because I don't care much for the smell either and I respect the individuals right to choose and expect the same in return.

As for the crying ninnies that want to remove tobacco from the planet, do a little research. The carcinogens in cigarettes are put there by big tobacco to keep their cigarettes burning so they don't go out, to improve the flavor of the bottom of the barrel tobacco they use and to aid in addiction to their product. Yes, nicotine is addictive, but so are many of their additives. I can go weeks without a Cigar, but when I smoke a cigarette I'm jonesing an hour later. The fact that what is in a cigarette isn't even tobacco, but shredded paper sprayed with macerated tobacco and chemicals speaks for itself. Ban cigarettes if you like, but leave tobacco alone.

Oh, and on final note, there is ZERO read ZERO credible research that links 2nd hand smoke to any kind of cancer. All the squawkers quote this bullshit, but ask for credible research, and none can be found.

So I say, 'Lightem if ya gottem' and if you campaign to ban tobacco, I'll start a campaign to ban crying and unruly children based on your same argument. They are public menace, health hazard (stress kills) and you have no right to inflict your habits one me. Anyone who can't out think a child should be sterilized and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
