Astute observation

I couldn't help myself. At least 3 times this week I was ready to PM you because you left me scratching my head w your responses. I think I'm starting to get your humor, though I'm still not sure. Either way, thanks for the positive contributions the past couple of days.

To give you some insight ...
George Carlin's "dark humor"

George was "the man" ... I'm just a fan

Nice article. Wow....someone who gets it.

What just "blew me away" is the author is NOT a smoker.
Such insight coming from a non-smoker is amazing

I am/was just the opposite. When I was a suicide machine, whenever I would see someone light up, even on tv, if I didnt have 1 burning I would light up w/o thinking about it. Now when I see someone smoking the first thing that comes to mind is I wonder if its a good time to approach and show and tell? I am all about spreading the word.
I just had a brainstorm...Lets start the church of vapintology. Corny? that just came to me upon proofreading and thinking I sounded like a preacher.

Good point and I'm sure its the case with many of us
and its implied in the article.

I've got a gut feeling and I can't prove it...
It appears to these old eyes ... the Nanny State has now touched most everyone in America.
Are we experiencing the early days of an "anti" Nanny State movement ???

Come on now. We are both old enough to know, That if Common sense were truly common, every one would have it.

I first started smoking in my early teens because I thought it was "cool", not... Stuck me with a life-long habit. Started vaping because my landlord decided to make us smoke outside so he could save money on fire insurance... Sooooo, we are now all outside, smoking (me, vaping) in front of all the kids playing outside on their school vacation... d'oh! But, hey, more $$$$ in the landlord's pockets...
