[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone go to the Georgetown Polo Match this weekend and see the crowd?

This is college today.[/quote]

Pretty slick but what is with the smoking?  What kind of idiot is smoking in this day and age?[/quote]

It's enjoyable and fun when you're in your 20s. I did my share of smoking back then, like a lot of my friends (all UMC private school kids). Gasp, guess what, we're all just fine and dandy 25 years later. I don't care for the smell and have no interest but I'm not getting hysterical over a college kid enjoying a cigarette.

No one is hysterical.  I've had the enjoyable fun experience of losing  a dozen relatives young to smoking related cancers.  But you go ahead and enjoy.

I knew someone would come along and say something like this. Like all things in life it's about moderation. A 40 year pack a day isn't moderation. Doctors are pretty clear on the length and volume of smoking that needs to happen (yes, I've had conversations and been laughed in my face by highly respected doctors who told me not to worru). I haven't touched a cigarette in nearly 20 years. At the same time I haven't turned it into a moral flaw either. College kids are far more likely to suffer bad outcomes from excessive drinking than enjoying a cigarette at a polo event. [/quote]
