If you going to smoke, smoke an Altria brand. Filthy habit, but I enjoy

Filthy habits are drinking to excess and endangering innocent lives.

I'd be willing to bet that drinking alcohol kills a hell of a lot more
people than cigars do.


The objection patrons have to others smoking in restaurants has nothing to
do with the health of the smoker, but with the stench the burning tobacco
creates and the health hazards transmitted by second-hand smoke.

More and more restaurants are converting to total "No Smoking," either on
their own or because local or state laws dictate it. It's the smart thing
to do.

Now, if we could only get parents to control their crying little brats
while they're in restaurants.

Amen to that!

When our kids were young and we went out to eat we would hire a babysitter.
It was a nice escape from the kids for us and we did not subject the folks
in the restaurant to a screaming baby or toddler.
