News reports that NJ has listed ‘smokers’ as a group now eligible for vaccination! So if everything else is the same, and you wouldn’t qualify, just bring a cigarette!


I've yet to see anyone attempt to smoke through a mask. What a shame. It'd make for a great picture. (I wouldn't post it online though because I'm not a total douchebag)

I guess the early data that said smokers were less likely to get Covid was wrong?

What early data? That seems immediately counterintuitive.

It does, but if you Google it you can find multiple references to it. I think I posted about it here in the spring.

I do it all the time :-)
Pot these days is potent
I carry a one hitter with me. That all you need
Head to the casino
Before going in
Light up and take a hit
Put the mask up
exhale through the mask
Go into the casino and have fun :-)

I dont know about that
but
Have you seen the lung x-rays of covid survivors vs heavy smokers
Those lung x-rays of covid survivors look absolutely horrifying

You are breaking the law.

In Nevada smoking pot is only legal when smoked in your own premises.

Illegal Smile
John Prine

When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad
Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down and won
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized
That I was havin', no fun
Ah, but fortunately I have the key to escape reality

And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun

Last time I checked my bankroll, it was gettin' thin
Sometimes it seems like the bottom
Is the only place I've been
Chased a rainbow down a one-way street, dead end
And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen
Ah, but fortunately I have the key to escape reality

And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun

Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls
Tryin' to get away from all the ears inside my walls
I dreamed the police heard
Everything I thought, what then?
Well I went to court and the judge's name was Hoffman
Ah, but fortunately I have the key to escape reality

And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun
Well done, hot dog bun, my sister's a nun
