    I remember in "elementary school" first or second grade. Some lady came into class to teach us about the hazads of smoking. She had a mock set of lungs she used to smoke a ciggarette with. Foam lumgs covered by plastic and a check valve at the top to "drag" the ciggarette.

    It was an old school and had windows that would open. New schools are like prisons now... But she lit up and smoked a whole ciggarette, with the plastic lungs, right there inside the classroom full of kids. :)

    She showed us how much tar was left on the foam at the end and went on about how bad it was. Good times.

    I never thought I would want to smoke after that. Time changes people, maybe she did it too soon.

    I went to a high school that actually allowed smoking out side on the campus area in 1978

    I don't know how many times that I quit smoking and was doing good. Then I'd go out drinking and wake up the next morning with a pack laying there.

    Quit smoking almost a year ago. On the subject of Germs, old George nails it -

    That cat needs to quit camping on the bong!... Puff & Pass man!

    I'm sure @Dave_in_AZ cats know better than to be a bong hog.

    Smoking is unsafe if you have a heart condition. Please try to kill me :)
