No more free samples at Costco any more.

Yep, was there today. No toilet paper, no paper towels, and worst of all, no samples! I imagine they will all return once we get past this.

I'm still trying to figure out the stocking up on toilet paper. Perhaps they plan to make masks out of it?

I don't care if someone smokes. It's their life. Just don't make me have to smell/breathe it. I smoked for the first few years of my adulthood. I was 27 when I quit. I quit because I got tired of the hassle. Zippo is out of fluid. Ashes in my eyes riding down the road with the windows down. Driving to town at night to get cigarettes because I had to have one first thing the next morning.

I was driving down the road smoking. Threw it out the window. Took the pack of cigs out of my shirt pocket and threw them on the dash of my truck. It was over. I've not smoked again. That was 42 years ago. Health never entered the debate.

It's a nasty habit that controls a person's life. I pity the people I see standing out on their porch or outside a business smoking in the rain, cold, snow, whatever. I pity them. They have a habit that is sooooooo nasty they won't do it in their homes or in their cars..... What the "H"?????

my dad died from lung cancer at 62 and 1 month and some days. I remember that because the social security, had just sent his 2nd check, well, we had to send back the 2nd check because he had passed away.

What little I saw of him, he smoked "Kool" brand cigarettes. Oh yeah, he was an alcoholic too.

No tears from me at his death.

I understand the way you feel Kyle. My condolences nonetheless.

My dad also died at the age of 62. Didn’t smoke or drink though. We worked together every day until his death.

There's a difference in a Father and a Dad. Sounds like all you had was a Father. You never had a Dad. Bummer.

Kyle, this is the difference between a Father and a Dad.

Or you can buy a bottle of Vodka, some aloe, and essential oils.

Then again, maybe not.

Rather drink the vodka . . .

It's a crappy scenario......

Quite a few of my family has died from lung and other cancers and everyone of them was a heavy smoker or lived with a heavy smoker. They blamed it on the area we live in but the family members that didnt live with cigarettes did way better.
And yes I know some people that smoked all their life and lived to an old age.
But the reality of it all is odds are ya wont.

If I'm standing around a campfire drinking Beer with the gang and the fire smoke blows my way I move. So why would I voluntarily suck smoke into my lungs?
