    Menthol in the green box, verginia in the red box and yoo in the black box.
    79 of the 148 people in our ACF smoke.
    Many have 5 decades or more of the need for weed. Some have dementedly forgotten their own children, but not the smoke bloke or the smoke time; (we ration them to 7 a day).
    Fags cost nearly a dollar each these days. They have precious little money left after their medication, accommodation and on costs are deducted and someone has to clothe them; and eventually bury or burn them. The old Psychiatric centres used to give them away to their patients. The Armed Forces did the same for similar reasons. When the government punishes whoever they punish by doubling the tax they collect from cigs, they double the effect on these people.
    Ban all the cigs now. Committing suicide ciggy by ciggy is no way to go.

    ZUT: I kowtow to the excellence of your remark.

    Nor is it an infringement of our civil liberties if we gamble everything away prior to throwing ourselves onto the public purse.

    To the various tobacco companies, ROTMANS, BI-COUNTS, LOSE-FIELDS, and VERTICALS, being names which come to mind. I defecate on the lot of you because I had the guts to quit. Olé

    Dogonauts, here’s a rich gallery of vintage cigarette ads including one featuring Ronnie Reagan. Apparently ‘most doctors smoke Camel’. Prefix this with the usual http –

    I hate to come over all practical, but there’s another plant that people aren’t allowed to smoke ’cause it’s bad. You can’t even buy it in ANY shops….. Instead, motorcycle gangs grow it and sell it to your kids. I’ll be putting a tobacco plant in the back yard next to my mully if FD gets his way.

    Splendid DIY cartoon. We can even draw our own version of the vest on the chap so he is properly kitted up.
