Third Hand Smoking : Good Read

[Whee]

Just seems to be more scare tactics by the anti-smoking nazis.

Now, we are being called outcasts. Don't stand near them, you'll die. Trying to make us feel like lepers.

I have asthma, although the cigars and pipes don't trigger problems (exercise does. no surprise to those who know me...) I got my attitude from smoking from my Dad. Went to the asthma specialist who told my Mom that my Dad had to quit smoking his pipe. She told him and he went into his room and smoked a pipe. And I am glad he did.

It's a fine line we walk. I, however, prefer to do my walking with a stick firmly entrenched bewteen my teeth.

I agree.

It really is hard to know what to believe when there are competing studies of this stuff out there. The end result all depends on who's point of view paid for the study.

In the end, as with anything anymore in this country, it seems to be a tool to push a political view.
