“I am sorry I will stick with the scientists at the CDC and The FDA on this one.”

Ok, what does the CDC have to say about tobacco use?

http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/health_effects/effects_cig_smoking/index.htm

Oh this is rich....they list the following as caused by tobacco use:

Smoking causes the following cancers:1

Acute myeloid leukemia
Bladder cancer
Cancer of the cervix
Cancer of the esophagus
Kidney cancer
Cancer of the larynx (voice box)
Lung cancer
Cancer of the oral cavity (mouth)
Cancer of the pharynx (throat)
Stomach cancer
Cancer of the uterus

Oh my goodness...tobacco causes “cervical cancer.” Well you go with what CDC says. So, I guess we need to use the power of the state to ban tobacco....I mean that is the compassionate thing to do........

It is a slippery slope you are on.

I don’t smoke. I quit years ago. I am however, going to start smoking again when I turn eighty.

I have something to look forward to.
