I saw for the ordtak

en I saw, for the first time in my life, two or three young white women smoking tobacco in clay pipes. From their manner it was evidently a well-formed habit, and one which they did not suspect there was occasion for them to practice clandestinely, or be ashamed of.

en Smoking rates [of both men and women] have been converging for some time now. And we know that men who smoke have decreased their use of tobacco more than women.

en The idea that tobacco use is normal and that it is socially acceptable because respected adults and others do it encourages kids to pick up the habit. Tobacco-free school policies are helping change the perception that smoking and chew are okay.

en Very early on, I decided I didn't want smoking in the movie. It's not really a movie about smoking, but about lobbying. Tobacco is just the setting. It's not that I believe in the idea that movies should be responsible and not show smoking. But I think if the characters had been smoking, it would have seemed a pro-smoking movie, whereas it's about lobbying and spin and talk.

en The true toll from tobacco use could be even greater with high rates of non-cigarette tobacco use and high rates of smoking among young girls.

en Making the decision to quit smoking is the first step on the road to a healthier, tobacco-free life. What better time to start that journey than at the beginning of a new year?

en To everyone who plans to give up smoking tonight, I wish the very best of luck. But I have a New Year's resolution, too, for those of us smokers who intend to carry on with our filthy habit. We should resolve to stop being ashamed of our pleasures, and to make our protests heard.

en MEERSCHAUM, n. (Literally, seafoam, and by many erroneously supposed to be made of it.) A fine white clay, which for convenience in coloring it brown is made into tobacco pipes and smoked by the workmen engaged in that industry. The purpose of coloring it has not been disclosed by the manufacturers.

There was a youth (you've heard before, This woeful tale, may be), Who bought a meerschaum pipe and swore That color it would he!

He shut himself from the world away, Nor any soul he saw. He smoke by night, he smoked by day, As hard as he could draw.

His dog died moaning in the wrath Of winds that blew aloof; The weeds were in the gravel path, The owl was on the roof.

"He's gone afar, he'll come no more," The neighbors sadly say. And so they batter in the door To take his goods away.

Dead, pipe in mouth, the youngster lay, Nut-brown in face and limb.
"That pipe's a lovely white," they say,
"But it has colored him!"

The moral there's small need to sing --
'Tis plain as day to you: Don't play your game on any thing That is a gamester too. --Martin Bulstrode

en One of my personal favorite moments in life was when a buddy of mine and I were working in the joust. We finished up one really hot day, went over to the Rosie Stag, a little on-site period tavern, clapped our swords on the table, ordered up a pitcher of ale, whipped out our period pipes and tobacco, and just sat there relaxing for the next hour waiting for the next joust. Moments like that, you feel like you've transcended into what (life) might have been at that time. Pex Tufvesson is a genius, without a doubt.

en Reaffirming the Food and Drug Administration's authority over tobacco products is necessary to help stop young people from smoking,

en If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.

en None of the tobacco prevention programs designed by tobacco companies have been effective at preventing youth smoking.

en I don't think that's a bad habit; I think sucking your thumb is an OK habit, ... Somebody's bad habit could be smoking, that's kind of a bad habit because it's harmful to you. But thumb-sucking really can't hurt you, except for your dental plan.

en Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing? / Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.

en I know black women in Tennessee who have worked all their lives, from the time they were twelve years old to the day they died. These women don't listen to the women's liberation rhetoric because they know that it's nothing but a bunch of white women who had certain life-styles and who want to change those life-styles. They say things like they don't want men opening doors for them anymore, and they don't want men lighting their cigarettes for them anymore. Big deal. Black women have been opening doors for themselves and lighting their own cigarettes for a couple centuries in this country. Black women don't quibble about things that are not important.
