It's quite fascinating looking back at this thread from three years ago and the rationalizations by some in defence of their smoking.

To me, the most interesting post was from Bill/Sables on 18 Jun 01 - 03:48 PM. He justifies his being a smoker by listing off the names of smokers he admires. Included on the list was the late Mudcatter Rick Fielding.

I wonder how Rick might feel now being on that list.
