It is a variable. Does not worry me in the slightest, I know
a 73 year old who smokes ciggies dawn to dusk most of his
life and is doing fine. I don't like smoking, once bought a
pack and chain smoked them all at once - I likely smelt like
the local dump, didn't work for me. Slight buzz, but I didn't
get it. I'll stick to my glass of Chardonnay.
Yes, I agree with the above statement. I am immune to 'flu, I
don't remember I actually have ever had it, so don't need
vacinations for it. I not had even a cold in the past 2 years.
Who knows, I might have had real bad 'flu as an infant.
The exhaust on my diesel is intact and does not vent into the
cabin in any way shape or form. When running biodiesel I'd be
wondering if the cyclist behind me would pull up beside the
next fast food store :-)
