Perfect Path Total Contact no longer?

Yep, tyranny of the experts, those crazy whackos are trying to keep us alive. I think they're wasting their time. 

My brother is a retired California Highway Patrolman ...  now residing in Tennessee. He tells me that his retirement pension goes about 30% further there than in the People's Republic of California. He tells me that he's amazed that there aren't more Communist Chinese Virus victims in Tennessee considering how many people smoke cigarettes there. 

Gotta watch them-thar gull-danged religious revivals. They're pandemic.

And when their done smoking down to the butt end they throw them to the curb so the cynaide contained leaches into our watertable everytime it rains. Their poor choice damages our health as do those who co mingle instead of shelter. Freedom to defend ourselves without a crafted weapon just a mask gloves and maybe a water filter. Tom

Frank,
A study in France suggests smokers are 4 times less likely to contract the virus. They are administering nicotine patches to a test group of patients. Crazy, huh? Maybe the virus prefers nice pink, healthy lungs to ruin.

On a side note, somehow some species of birds know to take cigarette butts and place them in their nests, which prevents parasites. Nature is a mystery of magic...

No, birds are just smarter they use nicotine to repel mites we use it to kill ourselves.
