Ugly Truth.  That's what you call it?  Like the ugly
truth of fetuses in jars and photos of skinned
animals.  We choose our words.  We choose whether we
want to come across as intelligent, well meaning
adults or uber-emotional screamers.  We know where to
put you.

BTW, I have had one smoke and will have had only one
smoke by the time I leave work at 6.  Kinda blows the
ole mind, doesn't it?

Yeah, because the second I popped out of the womb, I
lit up a camel.  That sweet, sweet smoke. 

Seriously, Tell your fingers to consult with your
brain before hitting send next time.  I think a mental
peer review would do you good.

Cigarettes aren't drugs.  Nicotine is a drug.  Just
like ignorant foaming at the fringertips.  I guess
we're all addicts.

I would let "toxic" slide, but then you probably call
copperheads poisonous too, so I won't fault you for
your lack of perspicacity.

Besides, you know what you're getting into when you go
to the club, so it's only 76% my fault.

You're only upset because non-smokers, BY DEFINITION,
don't know what it's like to smoke.
