Some (if not most) may see me as an ass for being like that, but I just don't see why a person would want to do something that is so obviously going to kill them.

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. You don't have any vices even slightly self-destructive? I smoked off and on for about ten - fifteen years, never real heavy, but once you fall into it, it's easy to go back when you're around other smokers, specially at a Rainbow Gathering or some campout where people roll a tobaccy cig and pass it around like a J. There's something that seems right about it at moments like that.

Thank God I quit though....ceptin' a wee bit of whacky tobaccy now and then.
