    I saw one years ago during a random search of similar tokens, this one has had a hard life and hits home on a few points, others are a peddled misbelief.

    The Obv says I will never use tobacco, in any form.

    Cool old token, even if it doesn't carry its point across ideally.

    In my personal tobacco experience:

    Idleness: maybe. I take far too many smoke breaks at work.
    Poverty: not quite, but yeah, OK, I do waste a pretty fair bit of money on the habit.
    Strong drink: nope. I'm a smoker, but I'm a teetotaler and have never consumed alcohol. I do sort of have a Yoo-Hoo problem, though. Does that count as a "strong drink"?
    Vice: not really. In fact, smoking might help prevent vice, in my case. I know that going out to smoke a ciggie has prevented me from strangling to death many a person who richly deserved it.
    Ill health: well, yep. Fair 'nuf on that point.
    Insanity: nope. Really? Read my comment above about "vice". Sometimes lighting one up is what has brought my sanity back.
    Death: well, yep, again, but hey, we've all gotta die of something eventually, right?

    So that’s: sorta-sorta-no-no-yeah-no-yeah.

    Not the most convincing case. I don’t think a jury would convict.

    I am the last to be idle in the day light,
    I would be considered below poverty on tax day.
    Beer and Mary are my vices.
    I have zero problems with physicality, the mind might be problem in old age, but we'll see about that.

    If you are serious about quitting cigarettes let me know. I did it almost 5 years ago. Still have a little once in a while but Not like before.
    Sorry, didn't mean to get of topic.

    Just please don’t tell me what the guy who runs a bait shop is. You know, the fella whose expertise in different kinds of baits is so advanced, they call him a master of the trade? :rolleyes:

    That would be the baitmaster.

    The third one is opposite. Strong drink made me smoke more, and no longer smoking made me drink more.
