BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
A great analysis of anti-tobacco hysteria

I just skimmed over it but it seemed like he made some really good points in there. Definately an interesting read when I get some more time. Maybe I'll print it out and read it over a cigar tomorrow :smokingbo Thanks asher!
I've never (since age 9 or 10) liked being in smoke-filled rooms or rooms that smelled of stale smoke. That being said, I think this is probably the best essay in defense of smoking that I've ever seen. I had Joe Jackson's album, but never knew that he was a thinker as well.. Thanks for sharing this with us.
As to "everything is bad for you," my m-i-l sent my wife an article I haven't read yet, that shower curtains give off chemicals that are bad for you. Doesn't seem like I've had such bad results.
In the essay, Jackson says that tobacco is "bad" only because of the effects of smoke from burning tobacco. Then what explains the gum and tooth problems caused by chew?
