 You guys have the wrong approach. Don't you realize that every person
 who smokes saves the government about $35,000 (or so I read in
 Scientific American). Seems medical costs are more than offset by the
 decreased social security payments. (:} 

 Hang in there guys, you'll pay off the national debt yet!

 (Sorry I'm not still helping out. I smoked 3 packs a day for about ten
 years. Quit smoking and drinking coffee last February. Feel great. My
 best encouragement was truly concerned ex-smokers. Thanks for the
 chance to influence - I hope - a few more smokers.)
