I do believe that smoking in a clean room is harmful to wafers and I don't care what the government has to say about it. 8) BTW, you are not that far off... I quit after 20 years and my father quit after 40+ years and we both did it on our first tries. He now has bad lung problems and I am healthy. I quit so I would not develop what he has and what his mother had (not cancer and my grandmother lived until 90 after she quit). I think too many in society do not want to go thru the pain of breaking an addiction and find it easier to sue than blame the dummies like myself that smoked when we knew it was bad for us. Do you know a good lawyer I can hire to go after Ben and Jerries? That product is far too tasty and too many of us eat a bit more than we should... It isn't people's fault if they are too fat, they should blame the snack food industry for making tasty products! OK...soapbox mode off. Just didn't want you to feel alone... 8)
