I didn't like that site. They showed a video of 1200 people who die from smoking each day, but it was all young people. They didn't show the 80 year olds that still smoke and just die of old age, but if they smoked, they automatically assume it's the cause of death. They also had stats on second hand smoke as a killer, but they failed to mention that there are other types of second hand smoke that are more dangerous, cars, paint, cleaners. asbestos, etc.. Common sense says they all harm the lungs more than what comes from a little cigarette that you're not even smoking. These stupid non smokers just assume that anyone who gets a lung disease must have known a smoker if they didn't smoke, and that smoker they knew caused the illness. Very messed up logic, I think. Does that mean that a non smoking waitress can sue me if she gets canver and she is a diesel mechanic in the day. It's just not fair.

Hey, we have a lot to thank The Truth for. Back in 1999 I was so sick and tired of their commercials THEY are the reason I started this site. Actually, it was because of an email flame war that I started with them one night when I was drunk.

It is interesting that my site with pages of smoking links is #1 on this site. I wonder if that means there are a lot of smoking fetishers on this site. Since that's the closest "fetish" link on here although not all of the links I have are smoking fetish links. They're all smoking links of course. *chuckle*

Sex sells make sense to me, although I'd rather buy cartons of cigs with my money instead of wasting hundreds of bucks on a porn site (let alone a smoking-related pay site). LOL
