The man from South Park was Rob Reiner, in case someone hasn't said anything about it yet. I don't have the willpower to plow through this entire thread, but I do have some input here. Lucky for me, I had a police officer come into my school when I was in fifth grade and tell us of the dangers of drugs and alcohol and cigarettes. I just think that now that we know that cigarettes are bad for you and addictive, that if you are not smoking now, to never start. It's an informed decision. It's up to you if you want to smoke or continue smoking. The consequences are out there and I'm sure many people who smoke don't want to live into their 100s. Not all of them, just many of the smokers I see here in the South, where I've been living for three years. It's a matter of personal choice and personal responsibility. Every cigarette pack you buy has a warning on it. You can choose to ignore it or choose to light up with the realization that this habit will ultimately kill you, barring some other earlier form of death. So, now that you know how bad it is for you, it's entirely up to you. Just don't blow the smoke in my face.
