    Isnt it funny that smoking is now considered an evil vice by the descendants of the yankee puritans who were once the temperance movement, who otherwise today celebrate every other vice under the sun and will have a conniption fit if you try to say a 14 year old shouldnt be able to get an abortion without permission?

    Smoke em if you got em, boys.


    Puritanism/Calvinism eventually leads to anarchy in Govt and in thought...most athiests today,e sp in entertainment, had puritan ancestors.....

    I dont think its entirely religious. I believe there is a genetic component as well for Yankee moral fervor.  Regular Presbyterians, Quakers, Amish (who are more anabapist)etc dont have the fanaticism of the old puritans.

    • It is a classic way of pointing the finger at others whilst indulging in serious vice.
