Leonard Nimoy: Smoking Is Illogical

An anonymous reader writes "My boyhood hero, actor Leonard Nimoy, has developed lung disease. To those still smoking and in the grips of marketing induced denial, he says 'quit now.' Small acts of goodness make the universe a better place."

Try telling that to my friend who is 46 and has the same condition as Spock. He needs oxygen 20 hours a day. He smoked from the age of 12 and like Mr Nimmoy, gave it up years ago but the damage has been done. He won't live to see the year out.

I see all those young people smoking (mostly women) and feel sad for them. They know it kills yet the don't care one iota and carry on.
I smoked for a year and gave it up to buy a new car. I never returned and boy am I thankful yet I have some damage to my lungs. I stopped more than 40 years ago.

Your friend is genetically defective. It's sad, it happens, the world turns.

Deciding not to breed is the best decision any human can make. Grandiose sentiments be damned.

I so wish I could cut your throat and watch you bleed out on the soil.

I can't say for the others, but I'm modding "fuck beta"ers down because I'm here to read relevant comments, and don't give a flying fuck about your little shitfit.
