you'll love it.
check at your local sports shops....they'll probably let ya test fire some bows........and it is a blast@@

You'll have to take down some of those pictures since they don't show anyone smoking in some of them. The ones where everyone has a smoke are cool though. Makes me want to go out and spend a lot of money on those sweet sweet sticks of lingering death.
Really, it does. Can't have fun skiing without a marlboro in your hand!
I ought to send my Mom up there. She has moderate smoking-induced emphysema and is addicted so bad she can't quit, but maybe the clean air up at the ranch will let her keep smoking a few more years before her lungs quit functioning completely. We're looking forward to having to sell the house to pay her continuing medical care, stuff like supplemental oxygen, special beds, allergy treatment stuff since a good allergy attack would probably kill her, etc., but a smoking ranch, that would be just the thing.

Nice place, cool wheels.....literally :aok

LOL, when I first saw this thread, I was wondering how long it would be before someone would invade it with an anti smoking tirade.

As for above, many don't smoke and as long as the non-smokers do not have to pay premiums for smokers to smoke. I see no reason why they can't.
As long as you didn't have to put your health at risk to go.... looks nice.

Good For You
noone ever held a gun to anyone's head and forced them to smoke
noone ever held a gun to a persons head and told them to stand beside a person smoking and inhale 2nd hand smoke
and all our parents told us that smoking was bad for us from our early childhood years
it is so freaking hilarious to see this stuff, when all the OP wanted to do was share his vacation pictures
as far as smoking goes...some people smoke til they are 90+ years old and have no problems , while others smoke and may get cancer..... if smoking caused cancer than every single individual that smoked, would get cancer....
cancer is in the genes, it is hereditary....... same goes for people who get cancer from being in the sun.... some do, some don't.....
yet, I can go to a football game and watch drunks get totally wasted and watch policemen look and let these people drive home, yet I am told to walk to the parkinglot to smoke a cigarette.....
who is going to kill who first?
a drunk driver or a person smoking....... it is all in who controls who, I guess
looks like you had a great time, mcboi
notice: I never mentioned emphysema

I truly did have a blast regardless of what anyone has to say. I think our day and age obesity is way more of a problem than smoking ever was, but hey McD's can still sell that double cheeseburger for $.99 and no one is picketing outside their restaurants. Plus ive won tons of things from the Marlboro company, i dont think ive ever seen healthy choice, or campbells sending ppl on an amazing trip....... just sayin
-
Hey TC....
Not everyone jumping off a cliff dies. So when will you be jumping off a cliff? :D haha j/k .... but you see my point.
Cancer is somewhat hereditary. You can do things to help improve your chances and you can just throw all knowledge to the wind.
The OP posted about a trip (not vacation) he took at a tobacco company's expense, or so it would seem. Only time will tell.
The pictures looked like fun was had by all. The scenery was great. Glad you enjoyed it!!
-
i smoked for exactly 1 week back in highschool. i then spent that entire weekend being sick. needless to say, smoking isn't for me. what other choose to do though.......have at it. :aok
-
First off let me state that I smoked for about 20 years. I quit cold-turkey right at two years ago.
But here's my take on smoking:
People need to either leave it alone, or they need to ban tobacco altogether. PERIOD. They are trying to have their cake and eat it too by keeping smoking legal (and receiving huge amounts of taxes on the sale of tobacco) but yet making it illegal in most places at the same time. This doesn't work and opens a whole other can of worms.
No one is arguing that smoking isn't harmful... and no one is pretending to not know the health risks they take by smoking. To be honest, I've put on 50 lbs since I quit smoking and while I do breathe easier I feel less healthy now compared to when I did smoke, but that's just a matter of me getting off of my blubber butt and doing something about it.
Which brings up another subject. Someone stated that "as long as they don't have to pay for others to smoke, then they have no problems with it"... well according to some people non-smokers *DO* pay for smokers to smoke in the way of higher insurance premiums and more expensive healthcare. Personally, I haven't seen the statistics (for what they are worth) and don't know enough to decide whether this is the case or not, but simply logic dictates this: Based on that statement, you could also take the opposite to be true, "I would be against smoking if I had to pay more because of it". Correct? And from that you could extrapolate, "I would be against fast food if I had to pay more because of it". Right? I mean, Fast Food is a big reason for obesity in this country, and non-obese people have to pay more in insurance premiums and health case costs because of it, right?
So now no one is able to enjoy cigarettes -OR- hamburgers. So what's next? Let's ban MP3 players! After all, earbuds promote hearing loss... doesn't that raise healthcare costs all across the board? Also deaf people get extra tax breaks that we all have to make up for, right?
This all boils down to being on a slippery slope and I can't really go any deeper down the rabbit hole without turning this into a political discussion, but I think you've got the idea here.

It could go way farther. If you are promiscuous you are at greater risk of certain diseases, if you ride a motorcycle you are at greater risk for head trauma, hell if you are athletic you are at greater risk for sports injuries, and good lord what if you ski or surf or rock climb!
Try to find any lifestyle that doesn't have some kind of potential for high medical expenses that could lead to some sort of impact on others.

*sigh*
Look all you anti smoking guys. I worked with PM for two years and they were two of the greatest years of my professional life. Funniest thing is the lady who supervised me for those two years did NOT smoke and neither did I. In fact we thought it was funny as hell to walk into a hotel decked out in our Marlboro gear, go to check in, and when asked if we wanted a smoking or non smoking room to tell the clerk 'non' (some of the looks were priceless).
We were very sternly warned not to distribute promotional material to anybody under 21 and to always do our best to portray the company in a positive way. I honestly do not think it was a psy op to try to encourage people to smoke any more than Coors does psy ops to get people to drink.
Is tobacco harmful? Sure it is. The potential risks are up to an individual to judge. If I wind up with cancer because I've chosen to dip all these years then, well, it sucks to be me. You wont see me trying to sue the tobacco companies any more than you'll see me trying to sue Ford because my Mustang went out of control because I was driving poorly. The difference is Ford can market a potentially harmful product on television and radio whereas the tobacco companies can not. There's a difference between marketing a product that is obviously 'unsafe' versus one that 'results vary from individual to individual'. Funny all of the drug companies can run TV ads that say 'ask your doctor about (insert crutch drug here)' and very few people squawk. But oh my God cigarettes are Satan sticks.
I'd say 95% of the smokers I know are well aware that I'm seriously allergic to cigarette smoke and don't do it within breathing range of me. All I have to do is let them know and it's no problem for them. It's up to me to put myself in an environment where I don't have a say these days. Frankly it is my position that attempting to ban smoking from nightclubs and bars is ludicrous.
In my position and knowing being in that environment might make me sick for a few days would make me an idiot for going to one.
I make choices and if the results suck then it sucks to be me.
Back to the OP's post.
Glad you had a good time man <S>

Problem is tabbacco is as lethal as a bullet in your head. The only difference is that it happens so slowly you do not (want to) realize it. So sombody posting pix at a ranch held buy a known killer of millions is a bit leud. I cant post pix of an alligator killing a stupid golfer but He can post of a ranch sponsored by a company that kills millions per year.
As far as the argument for "nobody made you do it....?" Nobody when I was growing up said "dont do it". When I was growing up my dad smoked in the house, in the car and in the plane. Now I smoke too. I wish that smokes were never around. They make arsenic and cold medicine hard to get, but because of the large donations that tobbacco companies make they can push poison all day long. Jeezus half the crap you smoke in a ciggy they do not allow in a toxic waste dump.
Don't expect sympathy or kind regards to your vacation. Montana is great. I'm moving there in a couple of months. You post that crap here and chances are that sombody knows several people killed buy these sacks. Your posting pix that remind alot of people about the deaths of their loved ones that were lied to.

Now I'm going to light another one up without any.
Later, I'll light up again without dictating to you how to live your life.

I don't know if you answered this already or not, but are you one of the people who won a trip there, I know that with some of the contest Marlboro does every year that they give away trips to the ranch, so I was just wondering if your one of those people who won?
I've won some cool stuff from them over the years, but nothing as cool as that.

OMG man, get over it, it's a cool trip to what looks like an amazing ranch, you don't like it then don't look at the pictures, it's that easy.
Do you go into the threads on here people post about beer, you know thats a killer too, but I bet you keep your opinion to yourself when it comes to alcohol right?
Same goes for the others in this thread who are stating the same points about smoking as his post, I take it none of you drink any kind of alcohol & feel the same about it as you do about tobacco, because we all know the health risk that are associated with it.
-
man i gotta love all the different takes on this :rofl all i did was post a few pics of how much fun i had. I had no intention of telling people to go out and smoke, hell the whole time i was @ the Ranch there was not even one seminar about how great smoking was or to go out and spam your friends with how cool smoking was, so you could wind up @ the ranch. I even asked the people that worked there why none of the gear we got had the Marlboro logo on it, and their response was they didnt feel promoting tobacco use was good. I think the majority of us that smoke are old enough to decide what we want to do without all the statistics,static, and BS that the non-smokers give us. in case many forgot tobacco was one of the leading crops that got this country started way back when..... just sayin. Oh and i ride a motorcycle too so i guess that was another dumb mistake on my part, stupid bad-ass Kawasaki commercials on TV they need to be banned!!

I may be wrong but don't you go to the marlboro ranch for turning in little coupons found on the packs?

They don't do the Marlboro miles thing anymore, now you get to win things off their website, they have different contest you can enter to win prizes throughout the year. I've won some decent stuff on there, like I've won 2 Coleman camping chairs that were like $70 retail each, I won some Ipod docking speakers, a set of earbuds, a really nice domino's set in a leather case, a really nice silver cigarette case for my wife, a $200 Cannon digital camera, a Carhartt jacket & just a bunch of other cool stuff, and none of the stuff even has a Marlboro logo on it.

E,agle my pops is a heavy smoker, the best he can do is use a 'cig holder' that contains a filter, and he cuts the cigs in half so he smokes less.
Great looking place, how much is the stay normally?

Smoking means death, an excruciating and slow death. You know this, however, you cannot admit to yourself that you've made a mistake in becoming an addict. Don't kid yourself, you are a drug addict- it's why people keep doing methamphetamine even when they see it eating their faces. There are many, many places which can help you with your addiction; go there, and get some help.

^^^myth - it affects some that way, but others it does not
3 of my Grandpas / Great Grandpas lived into their late 80's early 90's smoking since they were 11 to 14 yrs old...and at 75 to 80 yrs old they could work circles around a young 25 yr old who didn't smoke.....
for some people smoking can cause health issues, am not denying that..... but smoking affects each individual differently
some get cpod
some get emphysema
some get lung cancer
some get heart disease
some live just fine and do not have any problems due to smoking
cigarettes and humans collide when the person's genetic makeup does not accept what cigarettes put into the body

I wouldn't go that far. Some folks never get cancer from it, even though it does affect lung efficiency. Some may be more susceptible to being sick. Then there is George Burns. :D
Smoking is by far not the only thing out there that can shorten your life. As mentioned, many sports, hobbies, and such can too. None are required to live a good life but we all make our own choices. Some have the ability to shorten the lives of others around us too. Not just smoking..... street racing, drinking and driving, etc.

Everyone who smokes knows it is a mistake and all know they are addicted.
Why don't you post all details of your lifestyle so we can denigrate you for any choices that happen to be pose a possible health risk?
Better yet, just stay out of the thread that someone posted about their vacation.

You guys dragged me into this argument. I don't smoke, drink, drive or do drugs. I train a moderate amount in a gym and sail during the summer. I live in a small town, vehicular travel is unavoidable, but my bike is preferable when time isn't an issue.

nice treat ya got xbrit.... did you happen to get or take any pictures while there?
if so, care to share?
as for the OP and a Ranch Retreat in Montana...... I am envious..... if I had my choice of where to live the rest of my life, it would be somewhere in Montana from Central westward...... I would prefer to be closer to the mountains than the open prairie/plains......
I messed up back in 98 when I told the wife(x) that shed could decide where we would spend our next 10 years Bozeman or Missoula, Montana ( well on the out skirts not in the city limits ) or move back to Florida.......she picked FL to be closer to her Mom. and I lost out on 20 acres & cabin with a guaranteed job postion once I got there......sorry for rambling
if one ever gets the chance they should try and visit the mountains of the NW U.S. ........ Montana, Idaho, in the Lewis, Swan, Lost River, Bitterroot ranges..... hopefully one day I'll get my life long wish since I was 12 yrs old and first got to see Montana, Idaho and Washington State...
Big Sky Country ( or as I call it "GOD's Country" )....
anyways..... post any USAF Museum pics if ya got any..... we all would like to see them

you wanted to express your views and opinions of what or how you think about Tobacco companys, smoking, smokers and nothing more...... go back and re-read each post you made if you need clarification
hope this helps

The official name of the ranch is "The Crazy Mountain Ranch" but is referred to as the Marlboro Ranch because it is owned and operated by Phillip Morris (Marlboro)
Looks like fun times was had by all.
Really are a number a great class-act dude/guest ranches out there across the west and north west to look into vacationing at, not just one of the more infamous ones in the state of Montana (although someday if I had a choice I would like to go there at least once). One of my memorable childhood vacations was at an awesome guest ranch located in one of the large and very fertile valleys behind the Sierras, just a couple hours or so north of Mammoth Lakes, just outside of Bridgeport, CA. Found it now on google maps, it's the Hunewell Guest Ranch, would highly recommend them or any like it for a great and very low-tech vacation.
http://www.hunewillranch.com/
There's a bunch of nearby stuff too, like one of the best preserved ghost towns and state historical sites from the old 49ers days right on the state border nearby (I think it's called Bodie), and not the least of which is you're right there on the rear (east-most) boundry of the Yosemite National Park.

Yeah I'd love to win that trip, at least I know now that people actually do win those grand prizes they give away during contest's.
If anyone on here does smoke Marlboro you should sign up on there website, a couple times a year they run contest where they give away a lot of prizes, & they offer coupons like $4-5 off cartons or $1-2 off packs. They have a contest going on right now with weekly prizes, I won on the first week & just got my prize, they were a pair of really nice ear-bud headphones, I won on week 3 too which is a Coleman cooler, none of the stuff has the Marlboro logo on it or anything either, hell you don't even have to smoke to sign up on the site & enter the contests.

man i gotta love all the different takes on this :rofl all i did was post a few pics of how much fun i had. I had no intention of telling people to go out and smoke, hell the whole time i was @ the Ranch there was not even one seminar about how great smoking was or to go out and spam your friends with how cool smoking was, so you could wind up @ the ranch. I even asked the people that worked there why none of the gear we got had the Marlboro logo on it, and their response was they didnt feel promoting tobacco use was good. I think the majority of us that smoke are old enough to decide what we want to do without all the statistics,static, and BS that the non-smokers give us. in case many forgot tobacco was one of the leading crops that got this country started way back when..... just sayin. Oh and i ride a motorcycle too so i guess that was another dumb mistake on my part, stupid bad-ass Kawasaki commercials on TV they need to be banned!!
I was going to say for goodness sakes don't mention the rocket you took off of my hands a few months ago :D
BTW I haven't forgotten about you I thought I had responded to the last e-mail you sent but realized the other day that I hadn't but I will soon. I hope you didn't run into the problem with it that you told me about. And when it's all said and done please share the pics with some of our more safety conscious brethren here so they can tell you how you should be riding it and that it's going to kill you one day.
I've teased tons of people who said it would kill me and I said nope, see it didn't even when I took out the ditch and now it's gone so it can't kill me. :neener:

Problem is tabbacco is as lethal as a bullet in your head. The only difference is that it happens so slowly you do not (want to) realize it. So sombody posting pix at a ranch held buy a known killer of millions is a bit leud. I cant post pix of an alligator killing a stupid golfer but He can post of a ranch sponsored by a company that kills millions per year.
As far as the argument for "nobody made you do it....?" Nobody when I was growing up said "dont do it". When I was growing up my dad smoked in the house, in the car and in the plane. Now I smoke too. I wish that smokes were never around. They make arsenic and cold medicine hard to get, but because of the large donations that tobbacco companies make they can push poison all day long. Jeezus half the crap you smoke in a ciggy they do not allow in a toxic waste dump.
Don't expect sympathy or kind regards to your vacation. Montana is great. I'm moving there in a couple of months. You post that crap here and chances are that sombody knows several people killed buy these sacks. Your posting pix that remind alot of people about the deaths of their loved ones that were lied to.
lol ur trying WAY too hard way too hard man thanks a lot now I gotta go smoke a ciggerette
