That’s not exactly what i wanted. What i really wanted was for somebody to read my post to Antigo says, then take a picture of the blank expression, a permanent record of the lack of understanding, and send 257 copies to a non existing address where they can be appreciated by nobody.

Antigo Says, you’re doing exactly what Smackwater wants you to do, replying to his idiotic comments.

obviously u dont know what u r talking about. addiction is a very serious and deadly disease. and sorry to say but u must have a few of them to tell people to start drinking and smoking. i think u r and ignorant person for even suggesting the idea. and i pray u do not have kids that u r telling these stupid ideas too. as for industry, i dont think u have to worry about all the employees losing their jobs, its not going to happen, why because people will fight for what they enjoy doing. good or not.

I would not have said this earlier this eevening, but I have been enlightened. It would be devastating to our economy if we all quit smoking, even worse if we quit drinking also. Think of all the tobacco industry employees, not to mention the brewery employees, that would flood the unemployment offices Then there is the modified tax base, with no tobacco contributions how would we survive?
So keep smoking, and keep drinking, and if you don’t do it now, start. It may kill you but it’s the best thing for your follow citizens.

“Antigo”, sometimes, in fact more often than not, people “do it” whether they enjoy it or not, and often even though they DON’T enjoy it. It’s called “chemical dependence”, or “addiction”. It’s a nasty, sad, expensive fact of biological, psychological, and social life. And it’s the basis for 100% of tobacco marketing, and maybe 25% of alcohol marketing. And remember, I was talking about the marketing here, not the habit itself.

and as far as alcohol killing you’re right it kills only when used wrong, which alot of kids in the younger generation use and do. i so often see many underagers drinking and driving and being foolish with alcohol to fit in. that to me is more unacceptable than smoking. the older generation did it yes, but with moderation. u dont hear of the binge drinking back in the days like u do now. teens need to be held accountable for their actions, make the rite decisions, fitting in isn’t always the best way to go. u can still be cool if u dont drink or smoke or do the drugs that go around.

Alcohol kills? When used in the wrong way, of course it does. It anihilates your liver. But look at all of the people that are over 100 years old. Almost all of them drink a glass of red wine a day. They probably wouldn’t have started the trend at 21 when they could legally drink, it would’ve been later in life. Maybe 65 years old. If they’re 115 years old now, that means they’ve been drinking at least 4 ounces of alcohol for 41,975 straight days. Alcohol doesn’t always kill…

i think alcohol and prescription drugs r an issue and it does need some resolution. only one or two beers, or a reasonable amount u say, well who decides whats reasonable? u, me, or the police who say u have had too much to drink?, even if it was only two. some cant even handle one. driving under the influence is a huge problem in our area that also needs to be addressed. and as far as pollution, i do believe alot of that comes from beer cans, bottles and the carriers provided for them, not only that but pills affecting our drinking water. the issue goes far deeper than just having to hide cigs behind a counter and if the cashier is doing their job, it will help deter some of the underage use. and in case u dont realize alcohol and pills do kill no matter what, even if used properly, so should they b banned as well. just reading from your above post thats how i should take it, right.

“You and people like you only cause problems and have no real solutions.”

Not true, STAN. I, and people like me, raise issues that should be talked about and resolved. We don’t CAUSE the problems — we only POINT to them.
