7. This makes me absolutely tear up, DM M! I hate cigarettes and their stupid smoke wafting

downwind. It's a shame so many have to get hooked. Expensive and deadly.

I'm thrilled President Obama stopped that stupid habit.. which I know is terribly hard to break.

Thank you! And, for 5 years now.. Go Prez!
