Holy fuck. I've been away for like 2 hours and all of a sudden there are 5 pages of extra reading stuff.<br><br>Well: to conclude: everyone knows smoking is bad, also for your neighbours. people continue to do it because it just is fun sometimes. i can really enjoy a good cigarette. the first one is bad, sure - but persistence is the key - smoking can be fun! I'm intending to quit someday, because I know it is unhealthy. but today, I enjoy my daily dose. simple as that.<br><br>IT JUST TODESTRIEB, RELAX LADS. TODESTRIEB.<br>

there's another good one in the 'first' porn movie ever made - Deep Troath<br><br>It starts with a guy who is licking the *private* parts from a women while she is sitting on a washing machine. After a while, she grabs his hair, pulling him away from his affairs for a moment and asks:<br>'Do you mind of I smoke while you're eating?'<br>The guy mumbles 'no', continues the job and the women lights a fag.<br><br>Hilarious scene.

[quote author=MentalTossFlycoon link=board=general;num=1046955851;start=105#117 date=08/15/03 at 19:51:53]<br>The irony is, nowadays people get sick on planes far more often than they used to. Since they pump less air through the plane, viruses have a tendency to just circulate throughout the plane. By the end of a coast-to-coast flight, you're basically sitting in a soup of other people's illnesses.[/quote]<br><br>That's very interesting to see explained. I actually had it happen to me once. <br><br>The one time in my life that a company paid to fly me in for an interview, I was feeling great until I took a stuffy plane ride. I arrived feeling like shit, went straight to bed as soon as I could, and it only got worse from there. The interview was the next morning and I was totally dehydrated and had no sleep from being violently and relentlessly sick all night. I was sure I caught something on that stagnant plane. It took 3 days for the illness to run its course. I called my doc from their local *SPAM* and he said it was a virus and there was nothing he could call in, I had to just ride it out as best as I could. Brutal.

[quote author=MentalTossFlycoon link=board=general;num=1046955851;start=105#119 date=08/15/03 at 23:34:26]I have a little problem with my immune system: and because of it I have a harder time shaking off colds. <br>My doctor prescribed an anti-viral; this stuff called Amantadine. So now, whenever I'm traveling or suspect I'll be in an enclosed space with a bunch of sick people, I pop one. The only time I get sick is when I forget to take it.<br><br>They should sell this shit at airports....<br>[hr]<br>(more irony: the problem with my immune system is that it's too strong and it tends to attack my nervous system. The condition is called multiple sclerosis. I take a drug called interferon - the same stuff they give to prevent rejection of transplanted organs - which stops the attacks on my nervous system but also makes me more vulnerable to colds).<br>[/quote]<br><br>Amantadine?  Sounds like good stuff!  I'm gonna ask my doc about it.  I have serious bronchitis and asthma.  Whenever I get a virus it goes right to my lungs.  Several times I have ended up in the hospital.   That would be an answer to prayer.  When you are stuck in an office all day you are prey to this constantly.  Kids, I'm a ex smoker.  Live and learn.  Much as I love FZ, that is one thing I cannot emulate or live with.<br><br>Sorry about the ms, mental.  I have a sister in law with it.  Haven't talked to her in quite a while, but I know what's up with that!<br><br>

I was prescribed a course of interferon for Hep C, but it didn't work with me. It has a low success rate with liver disease, but you are lucky if it is a help to you. Good luck with it.

What I hate with those smokers is that the smoke always seems to come to me. >:(<br><br>Beisides smoking just ruins your economy but there still seems to be people in my school that seems eager to smoke or stuff.<br><br>Not many, but still.<br><br> -/dr_grogg<br><br>

I hate that part of playing out, too. It's also a bit disturbing how playing in smokey clubs permanently darkens the color of a guitar.
