GIs?

"The term "G.I." came into widespread use in the United States with the start of the Selective Service System ("the draft") in 1940, extending into 1941. Next, the use of "G.I." expanded from 1942 through 1945. The American Five-star General Dwight D. Eisenhower said in 1945 that "the truly heroic figure of this war [is] G.I. Joe and his counterpart in the air, the navy, and the Merchant Marine of every one of the United Nations."

You know, the World War II people. The Boomers' parents.

In my defense when I first started posting on message boards it was 1991 and there were no existing addicts around to serve as living warnings.

it starts off with giving a high. by the time the highs go away, you're mentally addicted -- feeding that addiction is fun.

Yeah, I guess I didn't get that part. I never felt a high on cigarettes but then I guess that goes into how I never became a smoker.

If you can find it, jam a big wad of Red Man in your cheek, swallow the juice and report back.
