I didn't want shit in the COVID-19 vaccination thread. Couldn't find a good place so it gets its own thread.

"Victor Ricchezza, a Geology Professor at Georgia State University added: “I haven't smoked in years but was just joking with my wife that I could almost certainly smoke 100 cigarettes by the time we hit North Carolina in the car.”c

5 packs? I'll be eligible tomorrow!

 

[woolfe9998]

I was eligible before the vaccine was even manufactured.

 

[Leeea]

I never smoked but my partner did.

I am sure with a bit of coaching I will have done at least a hundred by the time I hit the north carolina border.

Damn. I thought something was amiss when I posted the thread from my phone. There was a weird lag plus something is going on with the mobile portion of Anandtech. There's comments in the Forum issue section. I just didn't think to look if it posted two threads. Thanks for the heads up.

wondering how they could prove it, especially since I quit using tobacco in the early 90s. and why 100?

anyone could they smoked and never touched one.

You gotta understand the history of NC and tobacco. What city do you suppose Winston and Salem cigarettes are named after. Maybe Winston-Salem, NC? For decades the cheapest cigarettes in the country were in NC, simply because the state would not tax them.

Makes an odd kind of sense I suppose.

Perhaps Wisconsin should prioritize anyone who has downed 100 gallons of milk in their lifetime. Or maybe 100 pounds of cheese? Or 100 six-packs of beer? Vermont could go with 100 pints of maple syrup. Wyoming, 100 pairs of mountain oysters. The possibilities are endless. 😄

Mississippi could 100 pounds over weight.

Bet cigs are still relatively cheap in that state.

Yep, 3rd cheapest with only Missouri and Georgia cheaper.

Well if they wanted to be more inclusive they could add things like touching your sister and sharing boots with a sheep.... You know what they say about NC, its where the men are men and the sheep are scared.

Now damn'it, stop confusing North Carolina with Alabama.

Same thing happening in Illinois. Smokers are now eligible.

Smokers Now Eligible for COVID Vaccine in Illinois Under Phase 1B Plus

Smoking is on the list of high-risk medical conditions and comorbidities that make someone eligible for the coronavirus vaccine under Illinois’ Phase 1B plus.

That's ONLY Western NC, where the heathens also put heavy sauce on their BBQ.

If you go knocking WNC BBQ there sonny, it might rile me up a bit more than you want me riled.

You guys over there just ruining the best BBQ in the nation, trying to give us a bad name in the east by allowing everyone else to confuse us with those sister-fuckers in SC with their repulsive neon yellow mustard sauces.

All this talk of BBQ made go to Bonos for lunch and get their St Louis rib plate.

NC puts cole slaw on pulled pork sandwiches which should be outlawed. If I want a salad, I’ll order a salad.

I've had mix emotions about this. Sometimes it just works AWESOMELY. Other times it's just a hot mess.

Depends on the slaw... and the sauce. Local place, I could eat a pint of their slaw, it's that good.
