At least in France, you can smoke a cigar with your coffee and donuts
and non-smokers are put where they belong - in the rear of the place
near the kitchen door. :)


Much more civilized here. We toss the smokers out on the street.
You see them all winter, pathetically huddling on the sidewalk in front
of major federal buildings drawing on their precious cigarettes.
I've even seen patients out there dressed in the thin blue cotton robes
and clutching their medical hardware.


Family members of smokers should have them committed to a hospital for
cigarette-cigar-pipe aversion therapy. Smokers stink, and they stink up
everything they get near.

Five years ago, I would have been incensed at such a comment. Today I have
to agree!

This is to CERTIFY that:

JOHN L. HERRING

Has neither smoked nor puffed a single cigarette for: Four years, three
months, three weeks, six days, 14 hours, 57 minutes and 12 seconds. This
means he has not lit 78931 cigarettes, and has saved $11,839.67. The
additional time he has to spend his daughters' inheritance is about: 39
weeks, 1 day, 1 hour, and 35 minutes.

CONGRATULATIONS, John!! It's tough to do, but I'm glad you were able to
without becoming obsessive-compulsive in doing it!! (c;

('Course better to be obsessive-compulsive than obnoxious-repulsive as a
couple of folks on this ng seem to be.)

Probably one of the hardest things I've ever done, but well worth it!
