X,

Doggone it! We've had this discussion before! Of course, I don't think it's all right to do annoying things to other people--recognized health hazard or not. That comes under the category of basic common courtesy. We both know that and agree!

My complaint is with studies performed and evaluated to meet predetermined criteria, rather than the other way around, and then paraded out to strike terror in the hearts and minds of the gullible who do not question the validity of what they are being force fed.

With regard to lungs, I've seen them too. Lots and lots of lungs and arteries from smokers and nonsmokers alike. If I were to see my lungs and arteries on an autopsy table, I'd probably faint in horror at their loathsome appearance. However, I breathe quite well and can run with the best of 'em.

Are you an undertaker?

I guess some people have not seen the list of toxic chemicals
in tobacco. But if you have your head in the sand why would
you care.
