This is of no consequence to Jim Jarmusch, whose sneakily delirious film offers a series of vignettes in which a number of potent stars (Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, Tom Waits and Iggy Pop among them), playing fictionalized versions of themselves, consume large quantities of nasty-looking java and enough smoke to put the entire nation on a Stage 3 smog alert...
YOUR NEW AUTOBIOGRAPHY DELVES INTO YOUR EXTREME FONDNESS FOR MARIJUANA. DO YOU STILL SMOKE POT? Once in a while, yeah. It still relaxes me. You get a different head because of your age, but not because of the pot. Marijuana should definitely be legal. Booze is a hundred times worse. Marijuana makes you passive--the last thing you want to do when you're high is have a fight...
...young, healthy and irrationally confident enough to abuse our bodies for the few years we have here. We’re immortal as long as old age is beyond the horizon of our future, and we know it.

...health risks posed by secondhand smoke are well documented, but what triggered the warning, which was published in the British Medical Journal and is sure to fire up the tobacco lobby, was a small study out of Helena, Mont. When the city passed an ordinance banning indoor smoking in 2002, Helena's only heart hospital recorded a 40% drop in the number of heart attacks (from an average of 40 per six months to just 24 in that city of 26,000).

Those findings could be significant. The CDC estimates that in the U.S., secondhand smoke causes 35,000 deaths a year from heart disease--a figure some experts believe will have to be revised upward, since 60% of Americans, smokers and nonsmokers, show biological effects of tobacco-smoke exposure. Shepard did offer some reassurance for city dwellers who have to pass through nicotine clouds every time they enter and leave an office building. Exposure for a few seconds probably doesn't do much harm, he says, because the toxins in cigarette smoke are quickly diluted in outside air. --With reporting...
