War on Sugar?

Is that bonus worth it with the risk of cardio-vascular disease, cancer and reduced quality of life (short breath, impotence)?

Yes, to some. Would you rather your body fail or your mind? I've seen what Alzheimer's does and, uhh, no thanks.

I saw it to. Ugly business. But I was also a smoker. That was horrible on my body. I'd rather take my nicotine free chances.

Honestly? Me too. I pretty much quit but sometimes I can't resist when someone offers me one when I'm out drinkin'. I have an ecig and that helps but, well, it's just not the same (and I have a good one). Plus spring or summer weather, a good cognac or scotch and, well, I'm pretty sure you're legally bound to smoke a cigar or else face the death penalty.

Oh yeah, after eating and when drinking are the times I crave a smoke. When I indulge I just get dizzy and nauseous, so I do not do that anymore.

I've seen both dementia and cancer in my family, and I don't want either.

Unless/until nicotine can be delivered in a way that is both beneficial and absent its host of known side effects, though, I'll give it a miss, thanks.

I get a li'l lightheaded but not nauseous. What I can't take anymore is the smell on my hands that lasts like 3 days even if you only smoke one. It's gross.

Or kissing a smoker. I can't believe I frenched those or that anyone frenched me.

Yeah, I know. It's amazing how offensive the smell and taste are and how hard it is to get rid of.

Smoking is awesome - don't get me wrong - but there are some really nasty negatives that are really hard to get past once you quit for a while. That's probably a good thing.

Heroine has none of these nasty taste and smell issues.

That's true. Some of its root forms also have excellent medicinal qualities.
