17. Drink and chew tobacco...
Edited on Tue Dec-19-06 01:19 PM by hughee99
It's certainly no healthier than smoking, but I don't have to listen to people spewing those second hand smoking statistics at me, no one can claim I'm hurting them, and I don't even have to leave my desk, let alone go outside, for a "break". I feel bad for the smokers who have to put up with all of that.

I take it you're referring to the jackass from the Huffington post. I found it interesting that the same person who said this...
"In that one act, they lose all progressive cred with me.
They have surrendered their value system for the cigarette in their hand.
A cigarette most likely branded and marketed by an international conglomerate- the same type of international conglomerate so many of these same people I just described absolutely hate.
A cigarette made by an international conglomerate whose products poison and have killed millions both here and abroad.
Cigarettes made by American corporations who mostly contribute campaign funds to conservative Republicans- the same politicians who stand for everything progressives are against and stand against everything progressives are for."

Also has links to Walmart.com (who's selling his book) and Charles Schwab (where he's on the payroll) on his personal website.
