		<description>I think the pause before &quot;positive&quot; is detrimental to the meter of the song. 

I also still love The Truth for finally coming up with an anti-smoking campaign that isn&#039;t so dorky it makes me want to smoke. Stick it to the man, et al.</description>

		<description>Smoking is bad for your health, breath and your skin.  It ages you faster than the sun and ladies(can fry your eggs). Plus  you pay dearly for the privilege.  Let&#039;s see smoking habit or frequently buying smokin&quot; shoes. DING DING DING,  shoes have it. Hot shoes always helps with dating with New York. Men are suckers for T and A but they are A LOT  of shoe freaks out there.

		<description>lamesabassman:  The Native Americans didn&#039;t smoke it by the metric ton.  They mostly used it for religious purposes, not recreational, so they only used comparatively tiny amounts of it.  Like nearly everything, it&#039;s not overly harmful in very small doses - if you smoke *a* cigarette you&#039;ll be fine.  Smoke *a carton* of them and you&#039;re well on your way to lifelong emphysema.</description>

		<description>Man, lovin&#039; the comments and the blogs! Well, let&#039;s see a farmer grows seeds off his land. If you copyright his seeds you own his land and whatever he produces. Minsinti knows how to own land without actually having to buy it. Marijuana and cigarettes, when you go back to the natural ingredients and are a casual user it is possible to reach a meditative state. If you don&#039;t list the ingredients you can always improvise. Improvise leads to happiness and creativity. 

Seriously, I don&#039;t understand the whole prob of finding love and long term relationships. Find someone in prison who has a life sentence, pretend to be trying to get them out. There! Life time commitment. Or find someone who is ugly or poor throw a little money their way and they&#039;ll never leave you alone. Oh, someone you care about...Okay, got me there :(</description>

		<description>as always.. Mr.D is on point.. but puzzles me is that in it&#039;s original form it didnt bother the Native Americans,who grew it and used it;but, when those bright ones
in R&amp;D got their hands on it.... SHAZAM..... it became so toxic that just second-hand smoke can take you out.. then methinks we have a quandary here.. how you push an item that kills your cliental yet keeps the demand so strong..... are we really a Nation of Sheep.....

lamesabassman...... how long is 2 long......</description>

		<description>My problem with smoking isn&#039;t that it can kill you, it&#039;s what it does to you while you&#039;re still alive.  My grandfather smoked all his life and still lived well into his 80&#039;s - not too shabby, for a smoker or even a nonsmoker.  The problem was that for the last *20 years* of his life he could barely get up out of a chair, and climbing a flight of stairs was out of the question.  His whole body, mostly his cardiovascular system but really everything, was just a mess from all the smoking.  So basically a quarter of his life was wasted because he couldn&#039;t do anything, and all because he was addicted to nicotine.  A major shame.

But anyway, I really should be more positive.  How about a nice round of Bobby McFerrin&#039;s immortal classic &quot;Don&#039;t Worry Be Happy&quot;!

Ooooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ee ooh...!  

(C&#039;mon, everybody now!)</description>
