It's true, smoking does have some nasty side-effects, like many other
drugs; but some studies are showing that much of the rude, uncouth
nasty behavior in our current society is caused by those who have quit
smoking or ones who never did. Like caffeine, smoking can sharpen the
peaceful thought processes unless you're a terrorist. Where did tobacco
originate anyway? Was it our east coast Indians? Western Indians had
peyote which I think they chewed. If so, we could sue and get some
money from all those casinos. Boy, I sure could use a good smoke right
now, but I'll go kick the cat instead.
