That seems expensive.

How about an anti-smoking campaign?

“Only you can prevent your cigarette purchases.”

COPD = “Can’t Open Pig’s Dwelling”

Well, since it appears that they are in the straw house at present, they better hope he doesn’t flick his cigarette at it.

That looks like Slaughterhouse #5, where today’s culinary event is sausage making.

Well, there’s one fable that will have to end with bulldozers and other heavy equipment!

Sadly the fate of to many people.

Is that yellow blob in the tree on the left supposed to be Bleeb?

So that’s what wolfpack means.

I think this was from Cheech and Chong:

(wheezing voice) This is Norm Zimmerman here for the American Cancer Society

I used to smoke 10 packs of cigarettes a day

But since I lost one of my lungs

I cut my smoking in half

And there you have it…..

Reality take a stand.

It could be hay fever from your straw house.

I suppose the pig on the right was the one who built his house out of bricks.

Leonard Nimoy smoked 3 packs day for 30 years. He stopped. 30 years later he got COPD

Just don’t hold that candle too close to the straw house.

I started smoking when I was 14 and at my worst I smoked two packs a day, I quit cold turkey in 1996.

This the first time I noticed Camels in this fairy tale.

How old do you have to be to know that the pigs should not be together in one house if this is supposed to be the fairy tale?

I love that they all have clothes, including the suspenders. It’s so needless and silly! :D

Somebody get an oxygen tank

Remember when cigarettes were 24 cents a pack? It was a much cheaper way to get cancer or other diseases.

my dad had smoked for quite a number of years, and when he finally quit, he was so happy he could breathe again!… (thanks to us kids, who kept bugging him relentlessly to quit when we were still at home!)
