Excellent job, cigarette makers!

    I think smokers are great. They die sooner so no one has to pay for their care at all!

    Watch the movie "Thank You for Smoking", a brilliant look at how they do it.

    Bacon on a burger makes me gag reflexively.

    Great flick.

    "Is your mommy a scientist?"

    "No, I didn't think so."

    Great stuff although I thought the end was a cop-out.

    I probably know more girls who smoke — be it a weekend thing or a full-time thing — than guys. I occasionally get all smart ass-ish and ask them why and they never had a good answer. It is usually "just because."

    They aren't buying into the marketing — how much marketing is really still around? I can think of a few magazine ads I've seen, but that's it. They aren't doing it because they think it's OK — they aren't the type to take the time to do the internet research to find any dipshit doctors saying it's not that bad. They're just doing it because they're stupid.

    Today is day 24 since I had my last cigarette. I can't believe I've done it this long.
