A friend of mine lost his job today...

he worked for a company owned by Philip Morris. They were forced to cut budget, so they let 50 poeple go, he was one of them.

They were forced to cut budget... why? Because of legal fees.

Sooo... basically my friend lost his job becuase a bunch of idiots got cancer from smoking, which they knew would likely give them cancer, and then sued the cig makers.

What a load of crap that is. I hope they all get whats coming to them, and I don't mean a check.

I think the basis of such lawsuits is that people claim they make their products "addictive" so it's harder to quit. I think it's pretty much common sense that if you keep inhaling smoke, you're gonna do something bad to your lungs so you shouldn't start in the first place.

I used to smoke until my doctor said my lungs are like a 70 year old...

I was only 25...... Now he may have been trying to scare me but I had a whole pack of smokes and threw them away not to smoke again..... I am almost 31 now put on about 40 extra pounds but do feel better breathing....

Now when I was smoking i knew they could cause all these problems but I chose to keep smoking.... People if you inhale anything besides air it is not good for your body.......USE COMMON SENSE........
