    Smoking is redundant today. Kids are getting enough cancer from the environment already.

      It’s not redundant. Harms compound. It’s not like people max out their carcinogenic index or something. 🙄

        That law is an excellent example of knowledge vs wisdom. Knowledge is knowing that some substances may be carcinogenic. Wisdom is knowing that the dosage of a carcinogen is so low it hardly poses any risk.

        To be fair though that’s hard to put on a warning label and harder to explain.

          It’s not a fact though, but I’m glad we can both agree it wasn’t funny or clever.

          Just hyperbole.

          Lol, why do you people always get upset when someone says something isn’t funny?

            It was just a rude and aggressive thing to say intended to make someone feel bad about IMO a valid (or at worst innocuous) comment.

              Not really. It’s to show them the reality that some people think what they said wasn’t funny.

              You seem to think that it’s only acceptable to say a joke is funny, but not that it isn’t.
