Yes, "nicotine is a poison."—Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. Memo 1978

But wait! They always say that the gum and the patch are safe. That it's the tar and additives that getcha. WTF?

And, why would they putall those additiveds in there now that they are under so much scrutiny. And why would those evil tobacco companies put all those nasties in there? They must be like the evil Republicans who want to kill all the children and old people.

"But wait! They always say that the gum and the patch are safe. That it's the tar and additives that getcha."

Could it be that it is because the "they" in question are the gum and patch makers? Nah.
