...worry that smoking dulls your palate? -Anthony Dauer, Annandale, Va.I'm amused by food nerds who say, "I'd never eat at a restaurant where the chef smokes." Almost all the chefs I know smoke. That said, I'm also a new father of a 6-month-old girl. I don't want to encourage anyone to quit smoking. In my experience, it really does make you cool. Chicks love it. But after 38 years, I quit...
...Statistics are never as visceral as firsthand experience. It’s one thing to know that 300 million Chinese adults are either tobacco smokers or are exposed to cigarette smoke on a daily basis, with 40 percent of nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke.

By midweek, more than 20 separate blazes formed pockets of fire running from the Mexican border north to Simi Valley outside...
...Often the flames moved faster than the residents. When Jay Blankenbeckler went to bed the night of Oct. 21 at his home in Rancho Bernardo, he could see smoke, but the fire still seemed far away. Upon awakening early the next morning and turning on the TV, he saw a newscaster reporting in front of a blaze - one that was less than half a mile from Blankenbeckler's house. "It had already burned through an entire neighborhood," he says. "That's when I thought, 'This is real...
