Not to mention the dangers of

1. Flying cigarettes and the likelihood of getting burned in an accident as the cigarette starts to smoulder on something.

2. The time it takes to take a cigarette out of the pack and put it in your mouth, then light the cigarette, all while not paying enough attention to driving.

As a child, I was in a car with a smoker and the above were real dangers to me, particularly in cars that didn't have lighters.

smoning is dangerous

so is driving a car

incredible discovery these folks have stumbled upon

that when combined the danger persists

fascinating

what other type of research will they reveal next?

that eating donuts

and watching tv lead to obesity?

can't wait for the results on that one.

in regards to walking- it's not all that safe either

though we appreciate your pithy remarks at times-

though must say they grow old and tend to linger

like those pesky allergy causing trees on lowell street

that should be hauled out of town along with all the

other free standing miscreants who dare to lurk in our midst
