Awesome ! Glad your playing again.
Happy New Year !
Just found this old webpage by stumbling across the title of the article…
Woo wooo!
That was me…thought I was logged in!
Here’s the first article…

I smoke an occassional seegar…no inhaling and much better choice of aromas. I hate cheap cigars! Never had a Habana,though.
When I smoke It’s always outside or in a “smoking room” (not too many of those around here.) If others are around I ask If they mind and usually give them lots of space anyway…unless they light up, too!
A LITTLE OFF TOPIC…
I know some of you are “too young to smoke.”
I don’t advise starting using cigarettes or chewin’ 'baccy(I knew guys that did each.)
Chewing(and SPITTTING) is just NASTY! I’ve seen guys aciddentally drink from a can of spit. YUCK!
I remember going out with friends/family years ago and coming home smelling like an ashtray. Be it restaurant, bar, or church…
I don’t smoke but it doesn’t bother me in the least if someone around me does. On occasion I enjoy the smell.
Forces tries to put out these kinds of “findings” all the time. They also use terrible logic to refute good science. I have tried to consider honestly what they have to say in the past, but it all flies in the face of everything else i have read and seen.
(of course this may appear incredibly biased as my father made their “jackass” page, however i had realized the “Forces” shortcomings long before this happened)
The results of the study seem to be a mixed bag. See the BJM editorial…

The fact that the study was authorized and sponsored by proponents of California Proposition 99(Anti-Smoking group)and then dropped because of the apparent survey outcome seems to balance the equation for me.
That’s akin to a district attorney gathering evidence that contradicts the outcome s/he wishes in a case. Then not turning the results of the investigation over to the defense attorney. The facts are hiden from the jury…
