The National Institutes of Health issued a $536,526 grant to the University of Illinois, Chicago, for a two-year program ending in July to study the smoking cessation of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population.

“The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the benefits of culturally targeted smoking cessation intervention for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender smokers,” the NIH grant description said. “Findings will contribute to the scientific literature on reducing smoking-related health disparities among underserved populations.”

The funding began on Sept. 30, 2010 and will conclude on July 31, 2013.

I wonder if I could get government money to study the effects of fagging off on otherwise healthy smokers.

Research shows male gay smokers tend to have sore rectums more often than male heterosexual smokers. More research is necessary to find out why.

Geez, give me $500,000.

It will take me 30 seconds to come to the conclusion: Gay, straight, transgendered, lesbian, questioning, pedophile, etc.

Don't Smoke!

It's not good for you.

And with the $499,995 left I can start my kid's college fund.
