The reason the government needs to help you quit smoking is that smoking is just plain unhealthy and just plain stupid!  But as the Mafia would merely take over the tobacco trade as they did the drug trade and gun trade worldwide once these things became illegal, then it is up to guys like me, to motivate you to quit!

Class begins at the end of a five mile hike up and down steep mountain trails above 6,000 feet altitude.  We'll hold our first "Smokeout" seminar atop Genessee Crest: 7,850 feet above sea level.  That is, if you aren't gasping for air, while I talk in a normal voice without any effort.

If we have to haul your blubber butt back down the hill by helicopter to Denver -- on oxygen -- then you'll see why people like me don't smoke.

Once you quit, you'll wonder why you ever dulled your life enough to start smoking!  Now, saddle up and keep up!  We're not turning back for stragglers!
