ED - Well written, but certainly biased.

I would suggest you grant 'Equal Time' by writing about the DANGERS of SUGAR DIABETES - Obesity - Healthcare Costs of The Millions More of Americans who OVER-EAT - Heart Attacks - Strokes - Driving ALL of our Premiums UP!

please use the SAME BLACK PACKAGES to expose WARNINGS for - Twinkies! McDonald's - Donuts - Candy - Chocolates - et cetera!

If anyone is interested in 'Fair Play' - please Visit & Read an Article which I wrote over 15 Years ago! It is STILL THERE ...

When 'Big Brother' and the 'Smoking NAZIS' start Banning & Taxing YOUR PLEASURES ... I trust everyone will have the same FERVOR!

Peace - Tom ...

P.S. you might wish to look up the U.S. statistics on LIVES LOST by both ALCOHOL ABUSE as well as DRIVING A CAR ... the numbers may shock you - but will you STOP DRIVING?

I believe when our time comes no one will save us, however it is to be. I quit nine years ago. We'll live till we die. Great write Ed.

I'll stay mum. Death is a bum-mer. Unless you are numb--like me--and then you don't feel it coming. I do feel cumming and it's funner than death.

Good thoughts bubba. A filthy habit it is. And those that are incarcerated in its cell warping chains always end up leathery faced and yellow-fingered. Yuck! One of the saddest (and ugliest) things my eyes have beheld is old white-haired people sucking on cigarettes and hacking up brown goobers. Corvettes are infinitely better.

I smoked most of my life. Quit twenty years ago, otherwise I would be dead. Quit drinking the same day I quit smoking. I have, about a year ago, I started having a bit of cheap California burgundy just before bedtime. Gotta love it . . .

Never was a smoker either, Ed...gross habit! I remember back in the day coming home from the dance bar smelling like cigarette smoke...I'm so glad smoking is banned from public places.....I guess, like you say, we're all going to die one day....I'm trying to prolong the inevitable by staying healthy....You sure gave us somthing to chew on....
