Smoking is injurious to Health

"Smoking is Injurious to Health" .. "Smoking Kills" .... havent we all heard this .. remember that famous ad - "A ciggrate in my hand, I felt like a man" ... lots of research and its been proven scientifically that smokers die a painful cancerous death ... well this is how most smokers die ...

Yesterday, when reading the newspaper, I found out there is another way smokers could die .... burn themselves to death .. :)
The news clipping went like this - A 72 yr old man died of severe burn. The casue of burns had been assigned to ciggrate. The guy was inebriated (sloshed is more the word), and was enjoying his ciggie (who doesnt enjoy the smoke after end of a drinking session), when the guy dozed off with the ciggie in his mouth. As if this aint enof, the guy has a lot of facial hair. The ciggrate dropped into his beard and his beard caught fire ... ummmm talk about coincidences - heavily bearded guy, who drinks heavily, and also smokes, and sleeps off wit the ciggrate in his mouth.
I read this piece and my first reaction was to burst out laughing, read it out to my friend and the two of us laughed and passed a couple of smart ass comments like - " Dont drink and drive, Dont smoke and sleep" etc etc ..
But then it was one of those really cruel jokes, which are hilarious but u are unsure whether to laugh or feel sorry ... at the endo f it all two things i decided on -
1. I ll shave more regularly
2. I ll give up smoking - soon very soon ...
