    lester, i love that you are posting using dailymotion now. I don't know if it's easier for you or if you are just experimenting but dailymotion is just much better quality, faster, and easier than youtube.

    THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!!

    Well. Whoopie is claiming that the other women are Internet addictors when she wont even own up to her own nicotine addiction! She is in total denial about how dangerous cigarettes are. You shouldn't eat unhealthy meals either or you shouldn't abuse alcohol but that doesn't really take away the fact that cigarettes cause cancer.

    Damn, people don't take everything so serious. Its obvious she wasn't really upset.
    As for the name calling when did it become okay for people to be so uncouth and hateful? What a world we live in.

    So sick of Twitter, there is nothing really informative, I don't care about what you are doing! I have my own life for God's sake. The whole medias are promoting for it now.

    Sometimes these women shock me, there are things that seem so obvious but they don't know them. They present an important talk show. They should cover at least the obvious. They can't just air all kind of statements with no proof.

    I love Whoopi, but I don't care how old she is she needs to find a new way to quell her stress if she doesn't want to pay a lot for her cigs. Also, I liked Megan McCain much better than Elisabeth when it came to hot topics. Admittedly, she's much more moderate, but she also comes off as naive, but sane as opposed to bitsy's frothing, yet ignorant.

    Does Whoopi not know that smoking kills more people in the U.S. than all other drugs, cancer and HIV combined?

    Whoopi is so wrong! I see Mothers Against Drunk Driving ads all the time!!

    What is she talking about? And so what - if the research says smoking is the next dangerous thing to anti-social behaviour - that's what it is then. It's the facts!

    Lester - Any idea why I can't see the Daily Motion videos. Can't see Ellen's from yesterday and The View from today. It's just a black space on my screen. I'm using Safari on a Mac, but I've never had problems with Daily Motion vids before. Any clue what's wrong?

    Did the download and installed, but I still only get a black square on the page. If I go to the DailyMotion site, I can see videos there, so I have no idea why I can't see the ones on this site. Damn....... Can your vids be found on the DailyMotion site, i.e., do you have a channel there?

    Of course smoking is bad for you, but Whoopi's point is that smoking isn't evil. You won't leave your kid alone in a department store. It doesn't cause outrageous behavior, you can still operate heavy machinery, etc. I don't think Whoopi was trying to claim cigarettes don't cause cancer.

    Whoopi totally put me off the View today, I don't think I'll bother watching it anymore....just because she's an addicted smoker doesn't mean awareness of the consequences of smoking shouldn't be highlighted. The worst part of smoking is that innocent by-standers inhale the toxic fumes of this filthy habit. Do yourself a favor Whoopi, realise the world doesn't evolve around you. Thanks Lester for uploading the Ellen and Oprah shows.

    Smoking is B-A-D for you Whoopi! That's why you(and many other women) sound like you have a permanent frog in your raspy throat!

    I have always been a big fan of Whoopi, but after watching her on the view these last few months, she is gradually starting to grate on my nerves.

    As someone on the media, she shouldnt be making it sound like smoking is "ok" just because there are other bad habits out there and just cos it works for her. Smoking is a serious problem causing not just one disease, but many....cancer, heart disease, emphysema, increased infections, strokes, increased healing time after a fracture or a cut.

    Just stopping that ONE habit will lead to a reduction in ALL those things. It is the single best thing anyone could do for their health.
    Whats she doing saying they shouldnt warn people about it??

    I can't believe how much Whoopi is defending smoking. What smokers don't understand is that unlike overeating, or unlike drinking (unless a drunk driver kills people), or even internet addiction smoking affects everyone. Going somewhere else to smoke does not work, rolling down the window in the car does not work, etc. Smoke travels and it lingers for about an hour after the cigarette has been extinguished. I live in a house with two smokers, and they go outside to smoke. If I go outside anytime within an hour, I know they were just outside. It's still on their clothes, it's on their skin, and on their breath. It does not go away. People I know who smoked and defended it like Whoopi just did, and then were able to quit have all said they then realized just how horrible it is trying to deal with other people's smoke.
