Well-most of that diatribe is vanity related-who cares about wrinkles?? I am not ashamed of growing older. And if you didn't sleep around the birth control thing would be an issue. My teeth are all fine and dandy, my blood pressure is low, my circulation is great. Prove that it is harmful-prove that none of the studies had any participants (who supposedly died of second hand smoking related illness) had no cats, never used talcum powder, never were exposed to toxic fumes from industry, never were exposed to city bus fumes, never exposed to asbestos, had perfectly clean of mold houses, etc.

I prefer to support my local tobacco farmer.....

Now, let's be realistic about musicians-what percentage of the top 100 bands have members who smoke???

I can spot the california granola people a mile off.....Glad my state doesn't behave that way.....
