I often like some of George Will's stuff but he misses the mark here:

Someday the ashtray may be as anachronistic as the spittoon, but fear of death may be a milder deterrent to smoking than is the fact that smoking is dumb and declasse. Dumb? Would you hire a smoker, who must be either weak-willed or impervious to evidence? Declasse? Twenty years ago, California cut smoking 17 percent with commercials such as: "I tried it twice and I, ah, got all red in the face and I couldn't inhale and I felt like a jerk and, ah, never tried it again, which is the same as what happened to me with sex."

George Will needs to be de-programmed of anti-smoking propaganda.

Screw George Will. I never gave much of 2 s**** about his columns anyway, and despite that he occasionally writes columns about baseball(my favorite sport by far, and always will be), there are FAR BETTER writers on the subject of baseball out there.
