"combined with the tobacco industry's targeted marketing to lesbian and gay communities"

Looks like Big Tobacco is responsible to me. Near me we have a billboard with a picture of kids on it, saying "Big Tobacco! Stop targeting us!"

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I pass it.

Gay and bisexual boys in the study were not more likely to smoke compared to heterosexual boys.

Hmm, so much for the anti-gay persecution causing the problem. Though, I guess that the argument will be that this is only an XX Chromosome problem.

I would like to seek out this group of researchers so I can slap them "silly".

Study: kids willing to engage in one risky behavior may be inclined to engage in another.

But, at all costs, let's not ask why they're willing to engage in the behavior to begin with. It will come as no surprise that these same girls are likely to self injure, too.

Does the study also mentions the increase in mullet hairdos in lesbians and bisexual girls?

"Study: Lesbian & Bisexual Girls at Heightened Risk for Tobacco Use"

How about, "Everybody Freakin Minority in America (except for conservative Christian males)at Heightened Risk for Tobacco Use"?

So lets see. Lesbians cause tobacco use. Tobacco Use causes cancer.

So by the transitive principle of mathematics ( if a=b and b=c then a=c ) that means LESBIANS CAUSE CANCER.

In the interest of public saftey I think we would require a warning from the surgeon general on the forehead of all lesbians...........
