    Yikes are t hose inhaled? What pleasure is there? I can't imagine.

    A friend's son in his early 30's ended up with mouth cancer as he "chewed"....what a waste to start that stuff...she misses him every minute of her life.

    I can speak a little. Enough for very basic living, but since I am deaf it is quite difficult to pick it up.

    I cannot imagine being deaf and trying to learn a foreign language. I'm impressed you've managed to pick up any of it. I guess ASL is of no use if you're not in A.

    Are you saying you haven't been to a doctor in 25 years? Not even for blood tests or regular check-ups? If so, wow...you've been extremely lucky so far.

    John Brunner, I looked at the short video, and no matter the person, smokers and tobacco users are losers, as I see it, I Think. Why do I feel this way, just me is all I can say.... Not going into it all.

    I had a cousin who was deaf, don't know if he was born deaf or became deaf, that was always a topic in our lives. He went to Gaulidet (sp) and got a science type degree and ended up being a pathologist in D.C. He was a great smart guy and believed he died from govt vaccines back in the 80's....he was gay and believe targeted...

    Growing up with him I learned how to talk and understand him, him with me. Used our hands a lot.

    And a lot of lipreading.

    Now about 15 or so years ago my daughter went thru SHL, from pharma drugs, very tragic and she had 2 little ones and got a Cochlear implant, she can hear when she wears it which is always except to sleep, at which time total silence... Poor girl she did not deserve this but got it. The drugs. She knows her limits and where she can go and not go, i.e. crowds..

    Losers? OMG, that is so disrespectful. I was one of those "losers" for 40 years. During that time, I had two successful, professional careers. I was (and still am) a good wife, daughter, sister, aunt and friend, and a compassionate, empathetic person. What a disgusting comment. You obviously have no clue what addiction is all about. It can happen to anyone, regardless of their level of intelligence or social status.
