Of course, I completely agree. I just wanted to show the other side of that which is that if smoking ain't gonna kill ya. Nothin will :)@deviedev

I'd be glad to talk to you about downwinders anytime you want. You have to keep in mind I'm a child of the 1970s so it was my parents, my grandparents, my aunts, uncles and cousins etc that all died off in a largish batch from the late 1980s until the mid 1990s. We eventually adopted the motto that "The surest sign there would be a funeral next week was that there was a funeral the previous week". This process went on and on and on, until we literally just ran out of people to bury.

Last ones left standing all seemed to be smokers.

That was also the time frame I was coming of age. Smoking weed, experimenting with drugs and reading everything from Neil Gaiman to Stephen Hawking to figure out, what all this was, that was going on around me. So a lot of my world view is framed in by all of that.

It's not a roll of the dice though, it's genetic russian roulette. :D
