  • With all the horrible shit about cigarettes and how terrible they are for you on and on and especially how stupid you are if you still smoke you got to admit there was a time that cigs were pretty damn cool!

    ☠??

    And today they say that 99.7% of scientists believe in global warming.

  • Here's a cool story for us all. Nicotine isn't the boogeyman. It's the 799 other chemicals that big tobacco formulated into the cigarettes to make them more addictive. Which is why most people can have a cigar or pipe and not immediately want another one. But #capitalism meant that big companies "just had" to figure out a way to make tobacco like crack cause #capitalism. 

    In Japan they put nicotine in energy drinks because it's a better stimulant than caffeine. It doesn't agitate ur heart and theres no crash like from caffeine. 

    Our brand of capitslism has really kind of deprived us of some good shit. Lije in south America tgey give cocoa leaves soaked in lemon or lime to tourists going up tall mountains to help them combat altitude sickness. And we all know what they're getting from the cocoa leaves right? 

  • So I'll bite and say if you put any stock into that statement it only helps explain why the general public thinks the way they do

    If that had something to do with me quitting smoking or Humphrey Bogart being cool I think I missed it.

    Good for you. My father quit after about 50+ years, but died of a heart attack anyway just a few years after he quit. I'm lucky I never got interested and in casinos I move away from smokers. Just can't stand the smell. Fortunately Winstar has an excellent ventilation system as well as one isolated end of the casino that has most of the slots of the other areas in a totally smoke free room that requires going up a hallway with two isolating sets of door. Great idea!

  • Las Vegas has the best ventilation 

    all other casino smell rank

    to me anyways

  • Remember the cigarettes in the C rations?  The lucky ones got the marlboro's.  4 cigs per pack. .

    No just Humphrey Bogart James Bond and Mike Hammer were cool . And Elvis and Sinatra and the Beatles and Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. And Jackie Gleason and Milton Berle and Steve Allen. And on and on and on. 

    No need to be so defensive of your millennials in 70 or 80 years we'll see which of your icons have stood the test of time. I'm sure there will be some. Just for fun who do you think the coolest guys of your generation are?

    I always bartered those off to smokers for other C-rat goodies. Kids today think a P-38 was a famous aircraft from WW II. Army guys know different.?
