I don't know if you saw the Queen's performance (I mean Elton John, of course) at Princess Diana's funeral, for which he changed the words so as to refer to Diana instead of Marilyn. I have rarely seen such a vomit-inducing travesty in my entire life.
Yes...I was disappointed that he didn't wear his Donald Duck costume from his Central Park concert. (IMG:

You'll get no argument from me. I've never smoked, but my wife does and she's a professional pharmacologist, with a PhD. She's often pointed that there's actually no very convincing study on the harmful effects of smoking. Or even, come to that, any bad effects from driving after having consumed a moderate amount of alcohol. In fact some studies seem to suggest that it's actually beneficial. Or so I'm led to believe.
Please post what your wife thinks about smokers' lungs.
One of my best friends is HIV+ and a lifetime smoker. Much to his surprise, his doctor told him to keep smoking -- he had no signs of lung cancer and the nic habit helped calm and relax him (which was certainly needed when he got the news of his HIV status).
