Chris Wynne, clinical director of radiation oncology at Christchurch Hospital, said yesterday that he knew starting the habit was stupid.

But this was the only way he could highlight the suffering of cancer patients
Protest smoking.

Re: Challenge to Rich: Can You Top This?

Good lord. Trying to determine the logic in this. Let's see...

-so many lung cancer patients are suffering due to this strike, that I thought I would increase my own chances of getting lung cancer... No couldn't be that.

-Uhh.. I'm really a closet smoker and this allows me to get attention in a sort of altruistic way... maybe

-I'm a putz? You be the judge.

Never smoked myself, but did try it once. I didn't inhale .
