In the old country, this is perfectly acceptable:

***I DO NOT ENCOURAGE UNDERAGE SMOKING***

***I DO NOT ENCOURAGE UNDERAGE SMOKING***

My brother in law claims to have quit smoking at seven, when his grandmother caught on that his constant visits were only because he was stealing cigarettes from her pack.

People always say smoking unites people, so maybe if the Palestinians and Israelis got together to smoke cigarettes they can resolve the Middle Eastern conflict. Or at least provide a step towards a one state solution. Even if it's a health hazard, think of the long term benefits!
