Why do they ask you if you smoke?

Then I do apologize if I assumed otherwise and thought you were taking the high moral anti-smoker ground. I agree that there are more unemployed and hence less public exposure in that regard. However, unless one is a true hermit, one still exposes themselves to germs any time in public where your hand meets something another hand has touched. One still has to go to the grocery store and fill their car with gas or pick up your mail and such things that have been touched by any other. Our money is extremely dirty and full of germs. Unless we discontinue breathing we breathe in germs where someone who's sick has been. It's impossible to escape this. So I will still fall back on the fact that we are better at preventive care than any time in the past.

Then I pity the poor family who's baby died from SIDS even though they followed all the precautionary measures. And yes, fear does compel us to do things that sometimes our common sense would tell us otherwise.

When my son was three weeks old he got a cold. Could I have prevented that? Maybe, maybe not. I hated to see the little shaver get sick, especially since newborns breathe through their nose, but the upside of this was he was already building up his immunities to viruses further down the road.

I never said you invented it, but you perpetuate it when you repeat what they say and try to pass it off as a fact.

He's your son, so you are well within your right to do what you thought best, no argument there.

In a completely pristine environment (something hermetically sealed) that could be possible to make the air more pure, but not in a home where there are all kinds of things from dust (most of which is human dead skin by the way) to pollens blowing into your home from outside to mold not readily found to what your pet brings in which I won't even get into, that you would be circulating throughout your home, none of which you can prevent from being there.

Your "organic" blankets have fibers and those fibers cast off minute particles into the air. Look no further than the lint trap on your dryer to see how much organic material is cast off from fabric, and those same fibers are being inhaled by everyone in that household. One cannot, no matter how hard one tries, prevent this process from happening.

Why are you using chemicals to clean your carpet? Just kidding.....kind of.

We can agree on this.

This is where common sense should enter the arena. Common sense is one trait that is vastly underrated and would appear to be grossly underused.

You play the devil's advocate very well on this and many other threads pertaining to smokers. Now you've qualified your statement, no offense taken. Thanks.

 

Fine whatever...you can't ride in my truck if your gonna smoke....

 

Just kiddin' you can ride in my sled whenever you want....as long as you don't smoke in it....lol

 

Well, I guess we won't ever have to worry about that. What company truck number was that?

 

You are very welcome.

 

They just want to make sure you get a truck with ash trays.

 

I am betting if you smoke, youre more likely to get an older/stinkier truck.

 

I go back to work tomorrow, so I will be too busy to do any more posting for the rest of the week....:smt064

You all have a good week, as I am fixin to.

 

My friend smoke when he drives his truck. I don't know how long he have doing it. But he complain to me. He said, "how to get rid of smoke smell in my cab"?
