Smokers Solely Are To Blame For Insurance Costs Is Pure BS

Be far from it for me to encourage people to ever start smoking.
If you don't start, you don't have to struggle with the addiction. But come on.. GET A GRIP!

Get over it FOLKS!



You want something to worry about?

In REALTIME- Planes Over The United States
*At any given moment, roughly 5000 planes are in the skies above the United States. Spewing jet fuel (basically kerosene) exhaust at the rate of each engine eating up around 15,000 lb/h of fuel at lower altitudes. Suck on that!

*Vehicle emissions dump 6 tons of particulate matter, and about 13.4 thousand tons of CO2 on a typical spring day.

Enjoy the fresh outdoor air!


Then there's..

In 2005, 32.5 million cattle were slaughtered to provide beef for US consumers. Scientists believe about two-thirds of American cattle raised in for slaughter today are injected with hormones to make them grow faster.

America’s dairy cows are given a genetically-engineered hormone called rBGH to increase milk production... six natural and artificial growth - These include three which are naturally occurring—Oestradiol, Progesterone and Testosterone—and three which are synthetic—Zeranol, Trenbolone, and Melengestrol...

Beef Hormones are linked to Premature Onset of Puberty & Breast Cancer Consumption of hormone-treated beef may be causing girls to reach puberty earlier than they used to and making them more susceptible to breast cancer...

Study raises fruit juice pesticide-concerns (12/2008):
Using lab testing, the researchers tested for a wide range of pesticides in over 100 different fruit soft drink samples sourced across 15 different countries. According to the report, ‘relatively large’ concentrations of pesticides, measured in micrograms per litre, were found in a number of the subject extracts. Pesticides such as carbendazim, thiabendazole, imazalil and malathion, which are applied to crops after harvesting and can remain on fruits and vegetables, were found in finished products during the study, stated the researchers.

Then there's the guys next door who just love to spray lighter fluid all over the charcoal BBQ. I have to slam the windows shut before it stinks up my furniture and whole house within minutes. One could have 10 people smoking in my living room and never stink it up 1/10th of what these grillers can do in 5 minutes.. mmmmm enjoy your antibiotic, hormone filled burgers!!!!

Each time some clown relates smoking to stupidity, I relate their whining to ignorance. The government simply can't slap a 200% tax on burgers & fruit. So they manufacture this dark evil thing called smoking to tax the crap out of us in the name of children. Who could get upset when it's 'for the children' ? YEAH RIGHT!
Say.. where did all that tobacco settlement money end up ???
