They were 5 and 6 years old at the time. I'm sure a lecture on shrinking blood vessels, formation of blood clots that can lead to heart attacks and other major cardiovascular problems would go way over their heads. A primal association should surfice for now.

Problem is that I think they start mispainting the damage of smoking since you are a child. The whole idea that smoking damages bones growth is simply insane. That means that everybody is fcked anyway or that they are being treated as imbeciles. How about simply explaining the impact on the lungs, reduced breath and other medical facts rather then talking about witches and orcs?Originally posted by hyperD[CUT]
Whatever I did with my niece and nephew, right or wrong, in this day of political correctness, absolution of self-responsibility, blame culture, public sector parasites, health and safety Nazis, I know that they will think twice about taking up the habit.

Easy Franko! Yes, I've been and worked in a farm and it stinks to fcuking high heaven. My stomach is full of beer so my stools smell absolutely foul on a daily basis so it's an achievement I actually keep my breakfast down each morning.Originally posted by FranckoHave you ever been to a farm? Any idea of the milk or cheese smell during production? I wonder what your stomach will smell like. Ever considered how much tulip cow/sheep eat that you will eat too? We must be full of it.
Can we try to figth the smoking campaign with intelligent ideas instead of this complete idiocy.

When I were a lad I had a cleaning job at a small bakery. The smell of old dough when cleaned up is rank. Bread eating in public places should definitely be banned.Originally posted by FranckoHave you ever been to a farm? Any idea of the milk or cheese smell during production?

Showed the water from the carpet cleaner to my niece and nephew - they went "Ewwww". Then I made them smell the water.
I swear they will never smoke ever!

Toilet door has a habit of breaking which can be a bit disconcerting trying to hold the door shut with one foot whilst trying to give birth to an otter....

May be able to re-claim the nicotine and re sell

Nicotine
When smoking was allowed on flights. During a plane service, the nicotine used to be scraped off the cabin roof with scrappers.
Right just off for a roll up.

I've just cleaned an old radio.
Previous owner was a heavy smoker & radio was a lovely brown colour all over.
After judicious spraying with foam cleanser, it is now black again.
The rag, however, is an evil brown colour.
Wonder what condition his lungs were in...Tags: None
