Tobacco: Bad or Rad?

Tobacco in itself isn't bad. The way the tobacco industry covered up research results in the 50's and 60's proving it was a primary cause of lung cancer was bad. Really bad.
People should have been better informed about the health risks before smoking. I honestly believe that everyone - in the west, anyway - now knows that it is an unhealthy choice to make, but if them want to take up smoking knowing that it will probably cause problems later in life, then fuck 'em. Their choice. Their problem.

Ya know, just the other day, I was discussing this with my good buddy, Jesse Helms.
"Jess," I sez, 'cause when you're good buddies, ya shorten each other's name, "on the outside chance that some lovely lady on some pornographic bulletin board should ask me if tobacco is evil, what should I say?"
Well, ol' Jesse, he looks at me with the eyes of a Southern Baptist Minister who just found one of his lay ministers in bed with his daughter, and he says to me. "Earl," he calls me Earl, on account of that's my name, "Earl, how can you even ask such a question? You know that the green gift from god brings peace and pleanty to the good folks of the South. You know that thousands of people depend for thier livelyhood on tobacco?"
"But Jess," I sez, "Don't tobacco kill lots of folks?"
At that point ol' Jess pulled out his gun, sez "So do guns" and shot my ass.

I used to do voice over for the Marlboro man back in the 70's. In those days, I used to smoke a packet a day, but I quit in the 80's. It was the pressure from the Actor's Union.
Now a days, one can't smoke shit in Hollywood, which in my omnipotent opinion, is a good thing.
Just the other day, I was having a blunch with Bobby D. He agreed with me that smoking kills whilst smoking a fat Cuban ciger himself. Actors are funny creature.
