Posted on: Having a smoke and playing, too

I'm not a smoker but I've been around them all my life, healthy ones and sickly ones.

But I just have to wonder, how many nay-sayers and health nuts are sitting drinking a caffeinated product as they complain about smoking. Nicotine in its pure form isn't any more dangerous - and possibly less so - to the body than caffeine. They're both stimulants which affect the body similarly. In this product, the delivery source is even the same: water. So give up ALL your caffeine for a few weeks then come back and tell me how bad smokers are for seeking an alternative to the traditional delivery method of their drug of choice.

I mean really. Caffeinated candy and chewing gum? Mega energy 'shots'? We are a society of stimulant junkies, with each generation needing every higher doses to get the same 'buzz'. Check your own intake before condemning someone else. Stones in glass houses and all that.

(And, no, there's no caffeine in the spring water and whole milk I drink, thanks.)
