    Not to mention what secondhand alcohol does for a person.

      It's the second hand smoke from cannabis that makes the coolness seem real. Then you can honestly say I never inhaled it. LOL

      Thanks ind06

              I wish I could be cool! I think I will go outside with the smokers so I can up my cool points!

                Seriously people! Smoking has always been cool. I've been smoking for almost 50 years, and that's how long I've been cool! Trouble is today, so many "do-gooder/tree-huggers" think (brainwashed) that smoking is un-cool. You (and the American Lung Association) CAN NOT show me a Death Certificate showing a person's Cause of Death as 2nd-hand-smoke, but you have relegated me to doorways, alleys, and my car/home, where I still enjoy my legal habit and right to use tobacco.

                Humphry Bogart, James Dean, John Wayne, yeah they were all cool too. So what if they're dead. We all have to go sometime. Besides, I really resent the fact that I can't go into a bar, have a few drinks, enjoy the band, and a few COOL smokes. My lifestyle has been ruined. Thanks, jerks!

                  I go into a bar just to take a deep breath of 2nd hand smoke while drinking a glass of water with lemon slice just to feel the ambience of cool.

                  Then I think...."Why not just smoke one and drink some Vodka........"

                  But before I finish the thought..... a cig has mysteriously appeared lit and between my lips and the bartender is handing me a drink of Uncle Jo's favorite Potato Vodka.

                  Then while I sit back and listen to a 'Biker Band' and smoke my real cig while sipping on my drink while enjoying the company of a female road warrior I realize that..........

                  The power of 2nd hand smoke has been proven again.

                  Long live cool.

                    Maaaan I think of all the people I made cool when I was smoking!!!!

                    If I had a dollar for every one, I could have afforded to keep on smoking!!!!

                      And the prices of cigarettes are ridiculous and just too expensive to become a habit.
