Let's see if I can clarify my admittedly harsh response a bit before I send the smokers and chewers from going into shock. First, I personally don't care whether someone chooses to use tobacco or not, if it turns you on, and you're not doing it in my house, fine. The problem I have is with people starting a KNOWN ADDICTIVE HABIT, then whining because they can't quit. Don't use starting young, or doing it to relieve stress as an excuse. Everyone was young and we all experience stress, so why doesn't everone smoke? Also, I like Max Powers attitude, he does it because he LIKES it! He also realizes that it's a CHOICE that HE consciously makes, he is not under alien control, or the victim of some high-level government plot. Pakrat seems to think I am a self riteous butthead with no feelings at all towards other's problems. I did not say that, what I said is also said in the Bible, "as you reap, so shall you sew". Kid Rock also said it, "you get what you put in, and people get what they deserve". Got money problems? Quit spending money like it's got an expiration date on it. Wife leave you? Quit sleeping with other women. Kids out of control? Look in the mirror to see what they're looking to for an example. Pak also seems to think cars rule my life to the point of addiction and that I could not give them up. Not quite, Marlboro man. If my car was causing my family to suffer, or there was a better than average chance it someday would (like smoking) it would be gone tomorrow, bet on it. It's just a car, no more, no less. When I'm not working with anything hazardous, my 3 year old son likes to go out to the shop with me, so it's a little family time. I'm getting ready to spray the final paint, but since the clear has isocyantes (kinda like cigs) and there is a pretty good chance it'll affect my health, I chose (there's that word again) to buy a supplied air system rather than take the chance that it will not kill me. Plus I'm a bit too tight with my money to piss away $5 a pack on anything. Hope this clears things up, smoke 'em if ya got, 'em...
