(CNSNews.com) – The National Institutes of Health is funding a program to convince female “light-smokers” in Brazil to kick their bad habit, at a cost to American taxpayers of $653,190.

“There is a great need for the development of gender-relevant tobacco control efforts,” the description of the study on the NIH website reads.

But no money to repair a damaged attack sub.

There is NO money for anyone in the US military ...
except Hasan, and the MB, and al Qaeda.

Here, the target group for US $$$$$$
are high end hookers? and high school girls?

[Drango]

NIH is stupid on a stick for this. Where the heck is the sequester when you need it?

[GeronL]

It is amazing what they spend in foreign countries. It is a massive outlay.

They may be smoking hot, but they don’t need US taxpayer subsidies.

[driftdiver]

Doesnt this money mostly go to buy off politicians.

They’re using it as the reason for not repairing the attack sub.

Even mentioning real budget cuts drives leftists crazy tho this is what govt bureaucrats spend tax money on!

[KarlInOhio]

If we didn’t spend this money, we would just spend a hundred times more on lung cancer and emphysema treatments for Brazil. < /I wish it was sarcasm>

Brazilian women are good at attracting money.

Has it been explained in whose pockets the $653K will disappear?

Traders/tourists don’t like the chicks they buy smelling like cigarettes, eh?

$653,000 dollar-—big deal. That’s less than one Air Force One flight to California for the Jay Leno show.

A mere pittance—although I don’t see why we care what Brazilian women smoke, if they smoke, or when they smoke.

With the DC crowd, I'd think they'd target young boys...

[GeronL]

That was one budget item, there are probably thousands annually in the Overseas expropriations budgets

[ryan71]

Exactly. Programs like this are only intended to line somebody’s pockets.

The nincompoops who write this sort of promotional copy wouldnt recognize a submarine if it surfaced in their bathtub

but seriously:...

“We have established community and institutional capacity to promote gender-relevant tobacco control effortsamong women in a tobacco producing states in Brazil.”

Scientists are hoping their research will allow them to design a culturally- and gender-specific “intervention” convincing Brazilian women not to light up.

I sense they are PRACTICING....preparing to IMPOSE a similar sort of authoritarian bonanza on Americans

[MeshugeMikey]

I have to wonder if we have any “Brazilian-American”..... Congress critters?

[Venturer]

Yes: I am sure, I was being facetious
