Are you a smoker?

Vaporizer? That's ingenious! I didn't know that existed. Because I was always worried that if God Forbid... I ever got cancer, I would need something for nausea I'm sure... but would NOT want to smoke it. I wondered if brownies would work. But vaporizer sounds like it would be the ticket if it ever becomes neccessary. The big thing I don't like about pot is that it smells like a flower bed the morning after it's been hit by a killing frost. Not a pleasant smell. LOL

Be careful with pot brownies if you have pets. My dog was acting very strangely and it scared the hell out of me. She was shaking and blinking/flinching like somebody was spitting in her face. Then I remembered that my brother's girlfriend asked if I had seen her brownie she brought home from work. She joked that she wouldn't normally mind if I ate it, but that it was a pot brownie. We wondered if one of the dogs got it (one of my dogs once jumped up on the counter and ate a huge styrofoam tray of raw chicken breasts). I put two and two together and jumped on Google. Thankfully they said nothing horrible would happen, the effects would soon pass. But like I said, scared the [!@#$%^&*] out of me.

Something similar happened to a friend of mine except it was one of his kids who got into the cookies he baked. He has three sons so he just kept going to their rooms every five minutes to see which one it was. When he found the youngest laying on the floor staring at the ceiling, he knew. laugh.png

Alphaguy74:

Speaking of Virginia Slims, it was actually a VS commercial that was the final cigarette commercial to air in America, on January 1st, 1971, right after midnight during Johnny Carson. The model featured in it was Veronica Hamel, who was later on Hill Street Blues.

There's your tidbit of the day. smile.png

And this is old school RealPlayer, but this old Salem classic HAS to be acknowledged:

It's funny, I can bring myself to listen to old cigarette ads, but I can't BEAR to watch them. If I had grown up in the 60s, I would have been sticking my head in a toilet during every commercial break.

What can I say? I'm squeamish. laugh.png

That said, the Flintstones ads for Winston truly must be seen to be believed:

ETA: That VS ad is dated as 1971. Is that the one I was talking about? If it aired on New Year's Day, it HAS to be.

I was in a discount store recently when a woman in front of me in the check-out line asked the cashier for a carton of cigartettes. I couldn't help hearing the price of that carton. It was over $50 !!

Here are some free and safe sites to help a smoker quit the habit:

Ain't that the truth! A few days ago, the woman in front of me at QuickCheck paid 35 dollars for cigarettes and I was like blink.png. I can't imagine trying to sustain such a deadly & expensive habit. My mom does it, and I hate it.

I'm not a smoker, and I've never even tried once. But both my parents smoked when I was younger, so I'm sure I've inhaled quite a bit anyway. I shudder now to think about how my clothes and my hair must have reeked of smoke back then. I hate that smell now, and can instantly tell when someone has been smoking.

My father died much too young (47 years old) of cancer, and I'm sure the smoking played a big part in that.

For some interesting reading, click here ---> Why do people continue to smoke?

I think that if every smoker that wanted to quit, did quit smoking, the tobacco companies would go out of business.

I never started smoking. So, I never had to go through the difficult time of quitting. I think that if every smoker that wanted to quit, did quit smoking, the tobacco companies would go out of business.
