Fat and Smokey

Obesity is killing almost as many people as smoking. Frankly, I'm surprised that it hasn't surpassed cigarettes. Actually, I am a bit surprised that from 1990 to 2000 the number of smoking related deaths increased by nearly 10% (in real numbers, not percentage of population).

Don't you people know better? I learned my lesson. I quit. If I can do it after smoking for around 14 years and starting before I could drive, then anyone else can do it too. Get the monkey off your back. You'll feel better for it.

I've been giving the smokers at work a hard time lately, but I still let them smoke in my car when we go to lunch. They're making the wrong choice, but they still get the choice. I would prefer to occassionally smoke some marijuana, but it's illegal, so I don't have the choice.
