And how many mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons
will die the same horrible deaths from the tobacco
that YOU knowingly produce?

HOLD ON JUST A COTTON PICKIN' MINUTE!!!!!!!!!
I've lived through 3 family
deaths from lung cancer or COPD--all directly
related to smoking.  The most
recent being my dad.  I watched him slowly
strangle to death the 2 weeks he
was hospitalized, and when he had the breath to
speak begged us to not
smoke.  I sure as hell know what tobacco does.  I
also know that the same
can be said for anything else done to the
extreme--FOOD being a prime
example--which has caused more health problems
than tobacco ever will.

My dad didn't have to warn me--I never have smoked
& never will, but tobacco
is still a legal crop, and people still have the
choice to enjoy it, and
until such time comes I will grow it, and not hang
my head in shame.

You can call me insane, but NEVER a
hypocrite!!!!!!!!!!!!!
