I’m pretty sure I read something about Obama smoking, so I doubt you’ll be sayin’ I ain’t gonna go anywhere when I’m the leader of our free world. Well shit, I didn’t realize I’d turned into Tiny Tim. Does it look like a give a motherfuck about the children?
Well, if I’m going off our current conversation, our free world is fucked if you come anywhere near the Oval Office. You obviously weren’t hugged enough as a child and if you get voted in as the Prime Minister or the President, or whatever, we might as well just hope the North Koreans kill us, because either way, we’re screwed. One will just be a quicker death.
Ha! That’s almost sweet. But the word you’re looking for is addiction, not obsession. I ain’t pressed about it, so why don’t you go Mother Theresa for someone who can be saved?
They’re pretty much the same thing; either way those cigarettes aren’t gonna help you get anywhere in life. If you’re not gonna stop for yourself, do it for the children who have to suffer because secondhand smoking is just as bad as firsthand.
Never, Takahashi. Never. The fuck you so concerned about my health for, anyway?
Why shouldn’t I be? I mean, we’re practically family and I just don’t want you to die a slow and painful death just because of some temporary obsession with tobacco. It’s called caring, dude.
The cancer sermon won’t do ya any good, rabbi. My lungs been taking in smoke since you were shittin’ your pants and crying to your momma.
Well that’s all the more reason to preach, as you call it. Secondhand smoking is just as bad as firsthand. For every cigarette you smoke, you shave off 11 minutes of your life. And if that isn’t bad enough, if you keep it up, you’ll be dead before your midlife crisis hits. Needless to say that cigarette may be pleasurable now, but it won’t be your best friend when you’ve got lungs the size of a three month old’s at 50. – Oh, that’s right. I forgot to mention that smoking stunts lung growth. But, yeah, that too.
