Whenever you go to a doctor now the second question is "do you smoke" They ask this because if you do, or live with a smoker, or live next door to a smoker... They can blame a whole gambit of woes on it. Just don't blame diet coke, or drugs in chickens, or exhaust emissions, or ......

I'm sorry - but you need to start using your brain.
Cigarette smoking is a leading preventable cause of premature death in this country.

Doctors ask you for one main reason:

* they care about your health - by getting you to quit, they know you will most probably do better in terms of longevity and quality of life. If you do quit, the doctor makes less money from you. Smokers help put doctors kids through school. Especially during flu season.

If the drugs in chicken, or exhaust emissions or diet coke bother you - don't eat chicken, live in the bush and drink water - smoke all you like, just not near me please.
