Orange Juice and Marlboros

Well, it seems that if Leah wants to continue, I mean, start, lighting up, she's gonna have to start drinking more OJ. Just kidding.

But these researchers have concluded that the vitamin C in orange juice can actually block the negative effects of nicotine on a fetus. Interesting, huh? Of course, I think that all babies of smoking moms should come out with a tatoo on their forehead that says something like, "My mom put me in danger my refusing to kick her nasty habit" but that ain't gonna happen. Hopefully these results will be extremely obscure and won't give cancer-prone moms-to-be everywhere the license to continue doing it, and just say flippantly, "I'll just drink orange juice."

Of course, most smokers that I know have twisted logic anyway, so they'll probably look at me and say, "Yeah, it is a bad habit. Don't ever start. Would you hand me my lighter?"
