So THAT'S what they do with all that industrial waist! Thanks, that was very informative. I too can't believe I ever did that to myself. Doing my best to make this my quit to end all quits. Our bodies are temples that houses our spirits, our divine spark, and smoking is akin to terrible vandalism, not only of the temple but to the spirit as well. -- Me.
