The American Heart Association and the Chicago Lake County Health Department hosted a breakfast forum to encourage more towns to pass smoking ordinances and make the entire county smoke-free by the end of 2007.  Why asks you?  Well of course, because smoking is bad for your health.  Consider for example, the damage smoking does to your heart and circulatory system.

And the menu? 

There were piles of bacon and ham. There was a tray filled with steaming scrambled eggs. And next to that, another one bursting with thick slices of French toast slathered in fried bananas and powdered sugar.

Let’s hear it for tobacco prohibition.  Fried bananas?  Were they deep fried by any chance?  Swear to god I hear one more thing about how bad for you cigarette smoking is this week and I’m going to go out and buy a pack and give it another try.
