It's an awful smell. I have no idea whether Lucky Strikes are still made.
I do remember the ads. My guess is that smokers do not realize how badly
they smell. The odor really permeates them.

And some folks cannot tolerate the smell of perfume.




And our hospitals are filled with people made ill by inhaling
second-hand perfume odors.

Here's what I want to know:
5% of all deaths from diseases of the circulatory system are
attributed to alcohol.
I'm in favor of banning the growth and sale of all tobacco products.
Thought you'd like to know that.

This is the kind of backhanded trolling that destroyed Chucks site..
mostly from you...

Bull****.

I second that. Harrys statement was not a troll, but dip****s response
WAS.

If you don't think it was a troll to Tom, who enjoys a cigar, you are
an idiot.

Great - that's wonderful that you have an actual opinon on the subject
of smoking.

Now, how about the alcohol?


I'm not in favor of excessive drinking. I am in favor of criminal
penalties for those who drink and drive. As in jail time...for the first
offense.

Sitting in resstaurant next to someone enjoying a drink does not
interfere with my meal. Sitting next to a smoker ruins the meal because
of the stench.

Maryland has banned smoking in restaurants, as have other states.
There aren't enough jails to house your m13 buddies. where you going to
put all the drinkers.

Well, then if there is a ban in restaurants, your meal isn't ruined by
someone smoking, just like your meal isn't ruined because of someone
having a drink. I have, indeed, had meals ruined by someone drinking
to excess.

I didn't mention any heath hazards. I mentioned people being annoyed.

15% of all deaths from diseases of the respiratory system are

30% of all deaths from accidents caused by fire and flames are

30% of all accidental drownings are attributed to alcohol.

30% of all suicides are attributed to alcohol.

40% of all deaths due to accidental falls are attributed to alcohol.

45% of all deaths in automobile accidents are attributed to alcohol.

60% of all homicides are attributed to alcohol.

Why aren't we taxing the crap out of alcohol consumption?

ANSWER ME HENRY WAXWORM!!!

Because:

1) It would accomplish nothing.

2) Booze lobbyists would never let it happen.

Nope.

And I'm not even going to detail why because it will turn into a rant
and I'm just not up to it today - tonight - this morning - whatever.


If cigarettes are any indication, more taxes would not work. NY taxes the
bejeezus out of them and it doesn't seem to slow sales any.

Why should I have to walk down the street for "atmospheric relief" because
some inconsiderate fool is smoking like a chimney, stinking up the
environment and exposing me to second-hand smoke? I've gotten off
elevators because someone who had been smoking recently got on and made
the elevator stink.

I've gagged and had sneezing fits when I inhale certain perfumes.
My nose wrinkles a bit when I or someone else farts in a room.
I wither in disgust at some forms of music I hear blasting from cars.
I find some posts in rec.boats to be disgustingly repulsive.

I've learned to live with it.

As Scott mentioned, harry's response had absolutely nothing to do
with the
thread you began. His rebuttal to your follow up, again had nothing
to do
with the thread. What does smoking have to do with booze? This is his
M.O.
in *every* thread. This will now grow to a long winded, flaming,
personal
attack thread. As is every other one that harry contributes to. Yes, I'm
part of it, and I apologize. I will not respond to this thread again.

Oh yeah, I notice that the only threads that don't get out of hand,
are the
ones that harry starts... no one responds. What a surprise.

Well, just so you know.. The attack was aimed at Tom who is well known
for enjoying a good cigar here and there.... You are right, it is his
M.O... it has been for over a decade.


Wrong, Lucky Strike breath. Tom posted a rant against alcohol because he
is upset over cigar taxes. I simply responded in kind without belaboring
it. Not everything fits into your simple-minded little world of black or
white.

I'm appalled by Tom's continued consumption of tobacco products. He's a
smart guy and knows better.

I'm appalled by Harry Krause's continued use of foul language and
abusive behavior. He's a smart guy and knows better
