Someone asked earlier if Europeans have a different attitude about smoking and health than people in the US. I can only speak from my own experiences and perspective. In my opinion there are fewer smokers at least in the big cities in California than in Helsinki. I pay attention to that when I go back there. But Finns in general do not smoke THAT much. Teens people in early twenties do, but many quit when they get older / have kids. I don't have any figures, but it seems like the number of casual, social smokers has gone down there since the law changed so that you can't smoke at restaurants anymore. For a significant portion of the year it's pretty tough to go out to smoke. Again, according to my observations, for example the French and Italians smoke. Regarding Sauli, I asked in another thread (last week, maybe?) whether he really smokes so much. I have not followed him that closely for very long, but the only time I have seen him smoking was when they were leaving from the AMA after party. There was at least one girl with them who smoked as well. It was quite obvious Sauli had also had a few drinks, so to me it seemed like a social smoking situation. He doesn't have the voice or the skin of a heavy smoker. People have asked him soooo many times about smoking in the comments of his blogs, but he hasn't answered. Social smoking is also really hard to break because once you have a couple beers or a cocktail you CRAVE having a cigarette and nothing feels better than smoking at that point. I smoked socially from age 19 about 26. But I had a super healthy boyfriend who's father was a doctor and I broke the habit. Still to this day give me a couple of drinks and I start thinking cigarette. CRAZY. Interesting that pot is actually not as bad for your lungs and it is cigarettes that are legal. But we all know what would happen if pot was legal. Americans would all start smoking pot, start caring less about being better than the Joneses, and start feeling satisfied without nonstop material aquisition. The economy and the country would most definitely go to hell. But we could all feel as happy as if we were at Burning man ! :   |

People have asked him soooo many times about smoking in the comments of his blogs, but he hasn't answered. Well, I wish they'd stop asking. It's no one's business but his--and possibly Adam's. I've been reading articles on health/nutrition info tonight... I read a sentence that astounded me (from a reputable site)... "One fast-food french fry is worse for your body than one cigarette." I am not making this up! Link: (scroll down) www.reducetriglycerides.com/triglycerides_lowering_diet.htmI am still a smoker--I've cut back considerably, but haven't kicked it yet. It does NOT help to be lectured. And I'm sure not using that french fry quote to rationalize my bad habit. There's obviously NOTHING good about smoking, nobody with a brain can argue that--but the next time someone lectures me about it, Imma ask them if they eat french fries. Or cakes and pies. Trans fats and sugar are poisonous to humans, too--nearly all experts agree on that now. (Or maybe I'll ask them how much they drink.) Just saying we all have our issues and if you take away the effect on other people (i.e. second hand smoke), not many people can afford to throw stones--even at smokers. Btw, to those who have lost loved ones due to lung cancer, I can totally relate. My mom's lifelong battle with food (obesity-related issues, then cancer--and she was a non-smoker her whole life) eventually led to her death...but we all just do the best we can! ETA: Sorry for the OT, but it does relate to Sauli being questioned repeatedly about his habits. |

Is there anything better than that smiley face with the superlong arms hugging twice around and patting itself? Honestly is there? It belongs in the MOMA it is such a brilliant little thing and so effective. Still kills me every time. It is so damn adorable. I actually feel warm and fuzzy when I see it. |

I agree, those repeated questions are getting annoying. They are mostly written in English, by the way. My grandmother died in her 60s because she was a diabetic and couldn't kick the sugar and fat. My brother and sister are on the same path, but what can you do. |
