Actually, it sits right beside your right to ban my ability to smoke.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.

Smoking makes me happy.

Does your Constitutional "right" to steal my money via taxation, make you happy?

What offends me the most, is that we bend over backwards and kiss the very ### of a 15% minority. And trample on a 25% minority.

Growing up with parents who smoked, I didn't like it. After learning about the harm it can cause, I didn't like it. After hearing what you have to say about, I don't like it. But for all that, smokeless tobacco is still more disgusting!

Absolutely not! Your body belongs to you and you can do whatever you want to do with it. I'm just sayin that I don't find it has any value in my life. I should have clarified that.

How many stairs can you climb before feeling like your lungs will give out?
If you cant climb stairs without feeling fatigued, or walk very far without huffing and puffing, it could be an early indication that your lungs are being compromised by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, said Dr. Leonard Horowitz, pulmonary specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
COPD, a two-part inflammatory response in the lungs that causes difficulty breathing as a result of narrowing of the air passage, is the fourth-leading cause of death among adults in America.
It's a horrible way to exist, Horowitz told FoxNews.com. There are some patients who get so bad that they have to be on ventilators and the patients can be really miserable.
And COPD's leading cause is preventable. Although chemical fumes, air pollution and other industrial exposures can cause the disease, smoking is responsible for 80 to 90 percent of cases, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association.

ATLANTA Cigarette smoking rose slightly for the first time in almost 15 years, dashing health officials' hopes that the U.S. smoking rate had moved permanently below 20 percent.
A little under 21 percent of U.S. adults said they smoked, according to a 2008 national survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's up slightly from the year before, when just 19.8 percent said they were smokers. It also is the first increase in adult smoking since 1994, experts noted.
The increase was so small, it could be just a blip, so health officials and experts say smoking prevalence is flat, not rising. But they are unhappy.
"Clearly, we've hit a wall in reducing adult smoking," said Vince Willmore, spokesman for the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, a Washington, D.C.- based research and advocacy organization.
There's a general perception that smoking is a fading public health danger. Feeding that perception are indoor smoking laws, cigarette taxes and Congress' recent decision to allow the Food and Drug Administration to regulate tobacco.

Those promoting Thursday's Great American Smokeout 2009 have their work cut out for them. That's because cigarette use among Americans, after declining for decades, has remained virtually unchanged for five straight years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

That's about 46 million smokers in the U.S. -- or 20.6 percent of the adult population. Every day, 1,000 young people become new smokers, the CDC says. (The level in 2004 was 20.9 percent, dipping to 19.7 in 2007.)
