Nope. But it will fuck with your blood vessels which in turn fucks with everything else in your body. I had a patient once who had so many bypasses to her leg she had one vein running to it, she had half her foot amputated on that side and was about to lose the rest of it. She still smoked when not in the hospital.

It’s sort of weird to put quotation marks around the word harmful since nicotine is, indeed, harmful. Take a nice tour of the vascular unit of your local hospital if you want to see the effects first hand.

I’ll probably watch it though because I’m a cinema masochist.

It played briefly in Buffalo but I didn’t go see it. I just couldn’t get past Charlize Theron being cast at a 4 foot something redhead. I get artistic license and all that but Libby’s stature was an important part of her character.

At eight months the harmful effects of alcohol are practically nil. Most of the negative effects happen in the first weeks of development. Maybe she was drinking like that all along, maybe she was cutting loose at the end of her pregnancy. Either way, you made the right call as it’s not your place to say anything.

Nope. Just why they’re different.

Just when I almost start liking Miley Cyrus she starts in with that tongue shit again.

I’m not sure they know she’s a Democrat. I fully expect her support from conservatives to erode when they find out she’s not Republican.

She’s also a Democrat.

Only one and it was a baby. It was completely horrific.

The truth is so boring.

I started playing that video and three of my cats fled the room.

I love the brewery and we serve their stuff at the bar where I work on occasion. I may have to rethink my feelings for them after they put out a Pop Tart beer. That’s disgusting.

I was just talking with someone about the wonder and majesty that is Xanadu last night!

OK. I wondered how they were going to make a series out of that book and then I read the synopsis and got my answer, the book and series will be nothing alike.

Not a Woody Allen fan but I LOVE Roman Polanski’s films, so I can definitely sympathize.

Ugh. The ever expanding party is such a nightmare for servers.

I think our society does need to talk about mental illness. It absolutely needs to stop happening only only in the context of a shooting. That simply conflates mental illness with being violent and people with mental illness are far more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators.

If anyone needs incentive to quit smoking just take a tour of the vascular unit at your local hospital. I did a clinical rotation there for school and if I hadn’t already quit smoking by that point that rotation would’ve been the push I needed. So many amputations.

E-cigs aren’t really recommended for quitting, but whatever it takes for you to quit. Just don’t do them long term because nicotine itself is not good for you. It’s hard, I know. It took me 8 tries to quit, but it can be done. I haven’t smoked in 6 years now and have no urge to smoke again.
