FISH!

I'm a social smoker(if this is even a term), meaning i smoke like one little mini Cigar(the flavored ones) once a month or so. It's bad, but so is a lot of other things I do(like mountain climb). I figure that I'd rather die at 40, than at 90 when people have to change my poo bag. But, in retrospect, i might be a 40 year old with people changing my poo bag <_<'....hmm.

I worked in a convenience store for quite a while, and one day this guy came in to buy some gum. He was real fidgety, and before he even came up to the counter to pay, he had already opened the pack and started chewing a piece. He said, "I quit smoking, and sometimes I want a cigarette so bad, I've just got to chew some gum or something to kill the cravings." I asked him how long it had been since he had quit.

"Thirteen years."

Ouch...

That's one of the dumber things I've heard in an argument. What does gravity have to do smoking? Has anti-smoking propaganda ever been part of a school cirriculum beyond a few D.A.R.E. programs?

Just because someone doesn't agree with one thing (D.A.R.E.) doesn't mean that they have to throw out everything that's only related to it by the time and place you hear it. Kunark never said he didn't believe in cancer; he even mentioned that many smokers "don't give a rat's ass" about it. I think he was referring to people calling others dumbasses over it, because one thing D.A.R.E. likes to paint is that all smokers are uncool, just because they smoke.

Non-smoker, FYI.
