Great research Brian. If I dip my ciggarettes in beer prior to smoking, will this reduce my chances of lung cancer? Sorry, had to go there. I think I may have drunk too many sam adams rebel ipa's tonight.
I have seen and read a couple articles recently on the same subject but this is the first I've heard of beer as a marinade. We all know beer goes with anything... Thanks Brian
"If I dip my cigarettes in beer prior to smoking, will this reduce my chances of lung cancer?" … Yup…
YEA……and all the miller lite I drank I could have filled a oil tanker… still got it! Oh well, I'll keep grilling and smoking
