I think that's a really good idea and we should encourage them. I recommend Kent cigarettes with the Micronite filter for a smooth aroma.

If cancer was the only one drawback it wouldn't even be that bad. In addition to cancer, it makes you smell like an ashtray, gives you really bad skin, and its even a cause for erectile dysfunction. There are better drugs to get addicted to.

    @e8d79 A major cause of mortality from cigarette smoking is COPD/cardiovascular disease—strokes and heart attacks skyrocket over time, and you'll end up shuffling around wheezing into an oxygen mask if you keep it up. Not to mention the leg ulcers and pressure sores. It's like an all-in-one package of "this will fuck you up"!
