"Tobacco is my favorite vegetable"

[@MrCoolcal20]

I love how straightforward and candid Zappa is.

[@WilsonPendarvis-tn3wm]

This man is the exception to my statement of : “I’ve never of known a smart person that would smoke cigarettes”. Frank Zappa is my Lord and Savior.

@Mattress Store I know, that's what I meant, his death wasn't as a result of smoking

[@therailbob]

There is an established link between smoking and death from prostate cancer.

[@brucenator]

@@alxwlsh Studies have shown that the heaviest smokers have at least a 24% greater risk of death from prostate cancer than non-smokers. (American Journal of Public Health, April 2010). Such studies date back to as early as 1958. Carcinogens are carried into the bloodstream via inhalation of tobacco smoke. The carcinogens don't just magically stay there in your lungs. They can find their way to any part of your body.

Sorry Zappa but those cigarettes helped shorten your life.
