If all smokers quit, just think of all the healthcare savings there'd be. The amount of money spent per year to treat people with smoking related diseases is surely greater than any tobacco taxes they pay. Also, by living longer, healthier lives, they could be paying taxes instead of costing the healthcare system millions. [/quote] Just one of the idiocies that smokers use to try and justify their addiction! Had a funny/strange one too from one of our Lionel/MTH smokers - he said he heard that arcing brushes in electric motors can make ozone, so maybe the breathing irritation people get at train shows is caused by all of the motors in the trains! Talk about grasping at straws! Another attempt at justifying the stream of endless smoke spewing out of their models is because the public comes to train shows to "see the latest technology". Meaning of course the ability for them to full everyone's lungs with smoke! I can just imagine a little five year old checking out non-smoking large scale trains and saying "I'm leaving because there is no latest technology being shown". Gimme a break! And some fresh air too! Bob Boudreau [8D]
