yes they say that drinking can do that, especially that wonderful white lightning we have in my parts

I think the alcohol had more to do with my 'blindness' than the tobacco did though...

That Petey looks well appreciated indeed !

Now, I know smoking isn't the healthiest habit ever and can indeed cause a long list of medical problems but BLINDNESS, come on, now we're just making stuff up. What's next? Smoking causes testicular cancer? Syphylis? AIDS? The Ebola Virus?

It'll all change in a few more months 1OldGI. They're talking about making the warnings to cover 85% of the package and what doesn't have a warning plastered on it is to be olive drab colour. In my eyes it's the perfect colouring for those of us who like to go bush and stay out of sight...Mind you they'd probably smell the tobacco even if they couldn't detect a flash of sunlight off the packaging.

Agreed, Nanny states should come with warning labels. Whatever happened to personal responsibility? And when did it become OK for them to tell us out right lies to disuade us from doing something they didn't want us to do. The warning label has been on cigarettes since 1961, I get it. As a grown man, I've examined all the information and decided that I like to smoke a pipe. I also have been known to consume large quantities of raw shellfish, frequent (and large) helpings of pork, sometimes more than the social cocktail, yes I like salt, chili and cheese on my french fries. If any of that changes, I'm completely capable of policing that on my own and don't need a government that can't tend to its own affairs, tending to mine.

Mick, over here, the next big thing is autopsy pictures of life long smokers' lungs (of course they've been Photoshopped to appear even more ghastly and increase the shock factor). I mean honestly, come on, is all that crap necessary?

I know I'm way off topic sorry...but..could you go back to the part about large quantities of pork again...that was my favorite part heh heh. Sorry...back to Pipes.

Well I'm off to be a happy idiot a struggle for the legal tender. Whitehall Grand National loaded with Old Joe Krantz is the breakfast smoke. Aloha! And oh yeah, here's a classic from Denis Leary which I think is fairly relevant
