Self-image obsession isn't only female territory

I work out from time to time. OK, I obsessively work out. If I am out and about and there are stairs to take, I will. I try to eat healthy, but good ole Rotten Ronnie still makes his presence known.

I would just like to take a few minutes and thank everyone who smokes tobacco. People just don’t understand how much hard work is put into the sale and marketing of these deadly products. It must be a tough sell. I’ve heard of selling ice to an Eskimo, but this is ridiculous. We all should thank the executives, founders, employees and retailers that are responsible for ensuring that these precious cigarettes reach our lips, and the lips of our youth. In a world that is becoming more and more anti-tobacco, we as smokers must unite. I for one am sick of being banished to the dark alleys and cold stairwells to enjoy the pleasure that can only be received from a cigarette.

Surgeries can be preformed as early as 15 days, according to HSI website.
