        .... and in my car, and in my house, and in my....    AIR!  I used
to defend smokers because they were getting kicked out of everywhere in my
city.  The local GOV seems to think they have the right to tell people what
they can do and where.  I've since changed my opinion since I've been with a
smoking girl.  I'm sick of my car stinking, and my home stinking and my me
stinking.
        Sounds like the "TRUTH" adds here in North America.  I like them.
One is of this old guy who wouldn't quit for his wife.  He tells this story
like she was nagging him and threatened to stop kissing him if he didn't.
He said it was his life and his lungs, then she died.  He felt guilty
because it was his smoke that killed her.
