Gday...

In a bit of perspective perhaps, we need to remember that LIFE is terminal - none of us are getting out of here alive.

Simply living anywhere in suburbia and/or near roads with vehicle exhausts, industrial areas, airports, etc etc are certainly not helping our chances of having healthy lungs - or other organs of the body.

Perhaps Billeeeeeee does have it right - although I am not totally sure about his method of communication.

Enjoy it today and get out in the playground before it is too late.

Thats fair comment John, but all of us don't live in cities or near highways or industrial areas..

We live in country NSW on a farm without neighbours and choose to not smoke for reasons of our own..

Mind you everyone to their own...

We enjoy the clean fresh country air at home and try and keep it that way when we are traveling..

Gday...

Sorry Bob.   I seem to have an uncanny knack of never getting my intended message across on the forum.  Perhaps I need someone to read my posts back to me BEFORE I post them.

What I was trying to say is that smoking is not healthy

Additionally, the vast majority of our population live "in suburbia and/or near roads with vehicle exhausts, industrial areas, airports, etc etc" and therefore there is an horrendous potential for developing all sorts of ailments.

In some way, perhaps I was trying to say, although it didn't enter my head at the time, was that if we lived in clean country air, irrespective of smoking or otherwise, we would be in a better position to prolong the inevitable terminal disease called living.

Cheers - I'll try harder to get my messages clearer - John

I guess between the 2 of us your message is now out there mate..

And you are right the sooner people leave the cities the sooner they are starting to prolong their lives..

I really do love being way out in the west of NSW and Qld and traveling the true open road where you can pull up with safety in the middle of the road for a pee...lol..

Then pull over for the night and enjoy the company of a crowd if another couple pull up there as well..
