More to me than to you obviously.

People who continue to smoke when fully aware of the risks are just
making their own choice (for them at least).

You're tolling, aren't you?

Oh the irony.

Even a stunted-intelligence vegan can't be
that dim.

You are right, they probably wouldn't be as dim as someone who doesn't
know why they don't eat sheep and cows but eat everything else.
