It’s a very lucrative racket. Much like global warming. Lots of cash and gubmint grants to pay for the villa in Aspen and the lease on the Mercedes Benz E550.

All paid for by some honest guy who works in a factory somewhere who just wants to have a beer and a cigarette in a bar with his friends after work.

Can’t have that. He wouldn’t be coerced to quit using the gums and patches that Big Pharma sells to the smoker quit lines.

I read that whole thing. Thanks.

FWIW, I only heard about this piece from reading Dr. Siegels blog.
