The current issue of Smoke Magazine, has a interview with Kinky Friedman, and we thought this quote by the Kinkster was the best:

“When I was 18 months old my mischievous uncle substituted a cigar for a pacifier. Now I still use the pacifier occasionally, but mostly I use cigars. So I’ve been smoking for a very long time; in short, I believe it increases your longevity. I tell young people, ‘Just do like Bill Clinton and me: Don’t inhale.’ All these health bans, smoking bans, they always say it’s for your health, and they always point out that’s why they’re doing it. But if you look at Japan, Korea, Israel, Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, all of them have much higher smoking rates per capita than America, they all have much longer life expectancy than Americans. All we can conclude from that is, speaking English is killing us.”
