Obesity is a bigger health issue in this country than smoking. So I suppose the NWTF should stop those fundraising banquets as well?

Eating a food only effects the person eating it and that is their choice, tobacco causes problems to those that do not choose to use it as well, there is not real comparison.

I think the chemicals, hormones and steroids are causing much of the obesity myself. Years ago we did not have that crap in our foods and we did not have the problems.

Damn who don't like a good cigar and a good drink whiskey to relax.


I know! Seems like someone is always trying to take the good stuff away from us! Bubba
I don't and there is nothing good about either.

I know I used to be poor as a Indian dog .now I am big as a killing hog but a lil smoke and a drink can't be as bad as those chemicals in food your talking about.lol

I cant decide which would be more offensive to my palate....smoking a cigar or sending money to NWTF!
Now before y'alls get bent out..I hereby affirm I am not currently responsible for my actions after having a bout with kidney stones , lithotripsy and the associated pain meds.
On the other hand....perhaps the choice between kidney stones and sending money to NWTF would be a more apt comparison.

Hope you heal well.

You should light a cigar in those situations.

Obviously you have never seen an overweight woman so in love with her whopper that she hit someone in a parking lot. I have. Its ridiculous though. There are enough rules,if someone wants to smoke then let them smoke. Plenty of places they can do that without affecting others.. If someone wants to be a LA then let them be an LA. I just don't want to pay for either ones health insurance which all to often I am thanks to being someone that works and pays taxes.

Not sure what you mean by "LA"? I do agree we really do not need a bunch more rules, never intended to imply that, I simply do no think it is a good way to raise funds and think it could be done in better ways, and has been in the past.

As far as the cancer comments go I recently lost somebody I cared for deeply to cancer, though not smoking related so I guess I was venting a little and perhaps in the wrong way though I do not feel selling tobacco is ever a good idea. I do support the individuals right to choose it so long as I do not have to smell it or have my health effected by it.
