Smoking is good for you

[anobium]

Just read in the paper today that good cholesterol is bad for you and sunbathing will help you avoid certain types of cancer.
I will bet anybody £1k that in the next 30 years somebody will prove that smoking is good for your health.

Those adverts make me sick.

I used to smoke Camels, but got tired of the fur getting stuck in my teeth.



Fags should be made available on the NHS. We're addicts you know. If I was into heroin I'd get all sorts of help.

When you say fags, do you mean as in tabs

Well spotted markie. Left myself wide open there. Too late to do an edit, so for the benefit of all the ****-takers who will be along later I meant cigarette type fags not the public school playing for the other side type. No offence ninebob.

The phrase "fag" when referring to public school is not actually a term relating to homosexuality.

I accept your wager.

Er, but there it says this:

Bullying and even sexual abuse were also sometimes associated with it.

Leaving aside the fact that Wikipedia isn't authoritative, are you not being a weeny bit naive not to be suspicious of such an arrangement as 'fagging' in a single-gender boarding school?

Fair enough , see you around in 2037.
Wonder how much that will be worth then, on the other hand, I may just collect before then.

How 'bout this: you smoke for 30 years while I abstain, and whoever outlives the other gets the money!

Now please go and update your will accordingly.

Hang about ,that would make me nearly 120, how old would you be?
In any event why would I want to start smoking at my age?

Hah! 120 indeed. Do you think I was born yesterday?

30 years and a day.

Well, I thought that you thought it was the elixir of yoof.

Never mind lads, sooner or later some wag in the NHS will realise that water is dangerous due to the ability of it to drown, thus it will convince the Government to put Health Warnings on bottled water, eventually leading to a total ban on the sale of water to those below the age of 18 and only by licensed premises!

What do you mean Cynic??
