cyranoDoes anybody know, off hand, when this new tobacco law Obama just signed goes into effect? I knew I should have bought a pack or two for just in case.
Edited to add this bit from Wikipedia because I laugh out louded.
Haji Jamahri, a resident of Kudus, Java, created kreteks (clove cigarettes) in the early 1880s as a means to deliver the medicinal eugenol of cloves to the lungs, as it was thought to help asthma. It cured his chest pains and he started to market his invention to the village, but he died of lung cancer before he could mass market it.

Date: 2009-06-23 11:08 pm (UTC)I ran pretty wild, and managed to not kill myself or anyone else. Why can't the current crop do the same?
I don't want to live in a sanitized, dumbed-down, padded bubble just because someone, somewhere got their panties in a twist because OMG THINK OF THE CHILDREN - they might be doing the same things I did at that age! HORRORS!
With all attendant pearl-clutching.
Fuck that noise.
I used to want my own island. Now, I want my own planet.
