ISN'T IT FUNNY?

Not funny  HA HA....but funny as in DEAR GOD YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING.........

I think almost everyone on this site is old enough to remember when cigarette commercials were on TV. The last televised cigarette ad ran at 11:50 p.m. during The Johnny Carson Show on January 1, 1971.

So it was with the thought..... DEAR GOD YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING......that I watched a television commercial for the JUUL.

SERIOUSLY? Why in the world is this allowed? With cigarettes it was a long process of admitting it might be addictive (1940's?) harmful (1950's?) adding the surgeon general's warning to all commercials (1960's?) and then finally removing the commercials completely in the 1970's.

There is already pretty good evidence that this JUUL IS addictive........nothing good can come from breathing anything into your lungs but air so yes.....probably harmful at some point. WHY are we going through this again???

INSANITY----doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

I quit smoking in 2009 after years and years of addiction. I just became sick and tired of the whole smoking thing. This site was a lifesaver with the support I received...so as you can see, I hung around to help others. I became friends with many people....some are here now and some are gone. Welcome to anyone who is new....this is EX....we are all here for each other.
