    You won't get second hand smoke from me; I use a bong. My CB handle is "Bongwater" and the water cleans the air.
    Give me a yell on Channel 19, "How 'bout it Bongwater, got a copy?"

    No more second hand smoke from this driver.....day 7 complete!
    Did my annual physical last Monday....that doctor had a little sit down talk with me.
    1. atrial fibrillation....last 2 years just an additional beat inconsistently, now almost a pause gap regular
    2. BP, 130/78....a bit low even for me
    3. scaled out at 185.....18 pound difference over the last two years
    4. basically zero sugar showing in urine, along with low hydration

    THINGS WILL BE A CHANGING FROM HERE ON IN!

    Don't smoke driver's. Their bad for your lungs.

    Smoke tobacco or the wacky version instead if you must smoke something. Or better yet you could smoke some ribs, pork chops, chicken, etc. Much better on your lungs. Everyone will love you, except for the weirdos who don't like smoked food. ;)

    Sirscrapntruckalot - What do you do with a sick chemist? If you can't helium, and you can't curium, then you have to barium. - The Chemist cat.

    Dont forget a steel dashboard in the car, and possibly no seatbelts, or mayby just the lapbelts. We made it!!

    nope, we are not safety hazards to your health..i smoke at least 1 cigar a night, sometimes 2, and when done, i toss it out the window. sometimes a tanker truck passes me, and gripes about it, i say to him, "too bad, you shouldn't be driving a tanker, and i'm at least 25 feet away when i toss it, i can't help it if you drive up on me"..

    all is good, enjoy second hand smoke, especially with so many states legalizing weed...you'll "drive happier now"....

    1. Don't walk thru it run
    2. Hold your breath when near the smoke
    3. When driving thru it make sure windows are up
    4. The real problem is drivers do not care about other drivers
    5. Thank you for your concerns about safety
