@leakeg Straight tobacco is not that bad for you. The manufactured shit is.

@SwordInAir more like as smokers we feel vilified on a daily basis when they talk lies about "second hand smoke" which is a total farce. Anyone who worries about second hand smoke has a weak constitution, and are a waste of time. So when a boss like bertrand russell who's only alive to talk in this interview because of smoking, then yea its a vindicating feeling..

@SwordInAir I think it was less him saying outright that their isn't anything wrong with smoking, and more that he telling his own experience and how he, himself, has not really been affected. There are a few people who can smoke natural tobacco (not the grossly manufactured stuff with all the chemicals in it) and live to be in their 80s (my grandfather doesn't buy cigarettes, but smokes naturally grown tobacco). I'm not a fan of smoking, mind you, but to each their own, I suppose.

Russell had his hands on good tobacco. This proves that natural tobacco is not a tenth as dangerous as modern day cigarettes manufactured by corporations.
