Well Theo...

Notice I only included the cigar episode....I am a smoker, much to my dismay...So if you are an ex-smoker, and also not trying to be a hypocrit, I wouldn't worry too much about it, as there are tons of people who don't smoke buying Phillip Morris stock.....I say, congrats. to you if you were able to stop! Cigar smoking is a very different thing from I understand. I know many cigar smokers, who do not inhale, and wouldn't touch a cigarette if they had to..but, they find pleasure in it....That is not true in all the cases, but I know of many people, who consider themselves as people who literally "don't smoke, except for an occasional cigar"...And will light up only during certain times, whether it be "at the tables" or when there is a party. Those are the occasional cigar smokers, who, for the most part, are not addicted!...Yes, there are still some risks associated with it...That I certainly cannot argue....But those who buy say a $10 or $25 cigar once a month, and I know of many, are certainly not posing as great a risk as those who are smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, or for that matter, jogging over here in the sometimes very polluted air...It has been said that children in the Los Angeles area have some lung deficiencies/damage, just due to the pollutants in the air, that come from other sources..So, as you can see, I definitely have mixed emotions also...

Thanks for your honesty at least.
