   I don’t consider that enough of a pro to cancel out the cons.

   Don’t forget that nicotine prevents Alzheimer’s. And, while you’re at it, why not throw in a dash of “By the time I get lung cancer, they’ll have a cure.” Sorry, I don’t mean to be a dick, but having engaged in so much smoker’s logic over so many years, I can’t help but crack wise about it.

   Cigarettes are too expensive, and the state is trying to tax them even higher.

   You guys are so fatalistic.

   Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun,
   I’ll be sittin’ when the coughin’ come.
   Watchin’ the taxes roll in,
   I’ll just watch ‘em roll in again.
   I”m just sittin’ at the mercy of my State,
   Watchin’ my rights roll away.
   Sittin’ at the mercy of my State,
   Cuz i like to smoke.

   Just avoid airplanes, then, and it’s all good. Plus: watching the Jarmusch movie Coffee and Cigarettes while smoking and drinking coffee doubles the positive effect.

   I like how you think, norbiz. I just watched that movie the other night. I liked it so much I watched “Mystery Train” almost right away. With bourbon though, it was too late for coffee.
