#1 If Booie can quit, so can I.

#2 Booie's death is a serious blow to the financially troubled refuge because he was one of its best fundraisers. Martine says he had fans around the world because of his TV appearances.

I hear Harry and Nancy might be needing work in another year or so.

#3 Durnham Freebody: Quitting means being locked in a cage and throwing your feces at people who want to feed you only vegetables.

#5 My Dad smoked, he's dead at 54, My brother smoked, he's dead at 51, My other brother smoked(Quit recently) and my Mom who NEVER smoked Died at 95, I NEVER smoked, and I'm currently 64 and in relative good health.

You decide, Did they die from smoking?
Oe just wear out?

#6 I hope they let him use the patch and didn't make him participate in "group." Sure as shooting there would have been some bi-polar spider monkey blabbing on about her feelings the whole time making him feel like he wanted to give her the Gilligan's Island treatment with the coconut shell left over from the lunch buffet.

Maybe they got tired of of people nagging them to quit?

#8 You decide, Did they die from smoking? Or just wear out? Posted by: Redneck Jim

I'm 65, and I smoked a pipe for about ten years. My dad smoked a pipe from the time he was 15 until he died at 79. My mom smoked cigarettes for about 40 years, and died at 80. My grandmother dipped snuff and lived to be 85. From what I've read recently, some genotypes are prone to cancer from cigarettes, others aren't. If being "worn out" were a criteria, I'd have died 20 years ago...
