I am not nasty to you. I do poke a little fun at misconceptions when I read them here, sometimes they are yours, sometimes they are others. If I appear redundant it is because I see the same misconceptions stated as fact over and over again.Surely you don't believe that the ones fighting the war on smokers are just pulling this stuff out of thin air, right?
I always have links to back up what I state when it comes to information. If you choose to believe the anti's or you choose to believe what we put forth, that is up to you.
But I know in my heart that I am backed by reliable links and reliable researchers. If you are just going on the fact that you think smokers stink, that doesn't account for nothing. Several in FR feel the way you do. But not all.
I am going by what I know as fact in my life, you are going by what pro smoking groups tell you is fact. I have no connection to anti smoking groups, I don't read their stuff. So what I say is anecdote and what you have read is the gospel. When I point that out to you (in a joking manner sometimes) you think I am attacking you. I am glad I don't feel so threatened that I miss read what is said to me.
