   Black snow must be just as bad as yellow snow.

   Snowmen are getting more and more sparse around here , what with climate change being what it is. (sigh).

   Depending on where you live or what you do for a living, that may not be true. I remember the Chicago ME (or maybe coroner then) a number of years ago saying that he almost never saw pink lungs when autopsying a long-time resident, even non-smokers. It got worse the closer they lived to the steel mills. And my father-in-law never smoked, but his lungs weren’t pink; he was a flight engineer, and between the engine exhaust and the cigarette smoke in the cockpit, his alveoli were pretty sooty.

    Smokey the snowman? Well, I suppose if you wean people off cancer sticks onto cocaine, they won’t be as likely to start forest fires.

    Sorry to be a spoilsport, but not many pipe smokers inhale. Actually, when I smoked one, keeping the thing lit was so hard that there wasn’t very much smoke to inhale, and in any case it’s the chemicals in cigarette paper more than the tobacco that make cigarettes so hard on your lungs.

    They turn black from the tar in the cigarettes, the active ingredient and poisonous. The other 399 toxins added to keep it burning just add to the danger.

    Quit 3 pack a day about 36 years ago. Didn’t really say I quit until about 2 years ago the urge was still so strong. Five mins at a time is how I did it. That way there wasn’t a great feeling of this huge job to do.
