You know, what do I have to turn to in order to decrease my stress, decrease my anxiety, whatever. Okay. Um, or to be cool, you know, you know, think about it. We, we, we turn to things like tobacco.

I mean, on one hand, I'm happy that we still have great researchers that are engaged in the subject of tobacco, its use in prevention. I'm happy on that hand. I'm sad that we still have to deal with it. You know what I mean? Woe these years. But it might be something that we just have to, from a health perspective, we just have to accept that it's going to be kind of around us.

I'm going to link to the history and I'll reflect on Clarence's thoughts. He smoked cools. That wasn't cool. I'll leave everybody with this comment. It's not cool to smoke. It really isn't. It's not... good for you. And if you need help addressing it, there are great health professionals that can help you to address the problem that you might have. Thank you for being with us.
