"The hurricanes had an emotional impact on the youth and we need to recognize that and give them the help they need. Otherwise, they use tobacco as a crutch and then they become addicted."

everyone knows it's hard to keep tobacco dry during a hurricane. the approved stress reliever is rum.

So THAT's where all the rum went!!

For me, hurricanes don't make me smoke.

They make me drink.

And drinking makes me smoke. (esp. when I spill it on myself next to someone with a lighter)

"Raised stress levels lead to more smoking," he said. "It was not shocking to find that relationship after the hurricanes."

"the surgeon general, brian norcross, and n.o.a.a

would like to remind you that should it get suddenly

calm during a storm, do not go outside for a

smoke. it is just the eye passing overhead and you

will get lung cancer or a two-by-four through the

alveoli which amounts to the same thing. also the

attorney general will remind you that smoking is not

allowed in most rstaurants during a hurricane until

the roof blows off, when it becomes technically

outdoors". "

[Siouxie]
