I love the smoking, just wonderful.

[Croscros72]

Those were the days. I don't care what anyone says; smoking is cool.

Horrid vice. Probably did more harm by his bad example than his words. Not that I listened to him. I turned the volume off when he started smoking.

@mendelbot haha, there's a story about eric voegelin; he started smoking a cigar when he started his class and said 'I enjoy smoking a cigar while I lecture, anyone who hates smoke more than they love ideas, they will not be missed'.

@mendelbot Nice to see that the Ad Hominem is alive and well in your world.
