This is good news as far as I’m concerned. The cigarette companies have lied to a gullible public for decades. Heck, they are almost as bad as Democrats.

The cigs and sugar industries most definitely #’d the American consumer — along with the “medical” industry.

I’m a libertarian and have no problem with one’s consumption choices. I appreciate a Nicaraguan stogie when the time permits.

But we’re generally lied to regarding the critical facts. And today, the lies are blatant with consequences should one object.

Oh? I’ve only heard the “lung cancer” side of the story for decades; it’s not like we’ve been saturated with a “cigarettes are good for you” message in the media.

Funny enough, the Amish cultivate and smoke their own tobacco but have extremely low incidences of any type of cancer.
