I have exammined such in the past. And, I have a friend in Hawaii who’s something of an expert on the other side.
I found his assertions and analyses convincing.
Therefore, my skepticism is something I’m still comfortable with and consider factually based.
Yes, some folks seem to have immunity from the harms of tobacco. But they are a small minority.
I have no trouble acknowledging that you are evidently a much more currently up on such things from your perspective, than I am from mine. Cheers.
Kowtowing or kissing your feet or butt you won’t get.
The thought of such is actually repugnant.
The majority of the experts I rely upon are also "on the other side" and I always have an enjoyable time debating with most of them.
My favorite happens to be an M.D. who is not only an epidemiologist, but also a Proffesor at the Bostone College School of Public Health and one of the pioneers of the anti-tobacco movement.
Dr. Siegel and I rarely agree on anything, but we both have a great deal of respect for the knowlege of each other on the subject. And that will be the last I will say on this thread on the subject of tobacco, as it is not the topic of this thread.
This thread topic is also not about alcohol abuse, which as you correctly point out, is a major problem. As I stated to ou many posts ago, it is something of which I have first hand experience.
The topic is about what is happening in our society that will cause companies to design their products for the lowest common denominator. I do not drive after consuming alcoholic beverages, why should I have to pay an additional price to purchase a vehicle because there are other idiots that will? Let them pay the additional price for the equipment.
Now that the manufacturers are starting to put these into new vehicles it is only a matter of time before our nanny state government will mandate them.
