while inhaling 32 toxic gasses, included cyanide and carbon monoxide.

Name them, I have asked the Cancer society, the Lung Association, the Heart Foundation and the government healt department, none of them could come up with even 20...... and they admitted that.

This argument could go on forever.... My take on it is this. If the tobacco companies had any sense at all, they would only produce cigarettes that had an appealing smell, kind of like room fresheners or incense. The main argument now is that people are offended by the smell. So why not make cigarettes smell better? If someone has incense burning , you don`t here a bunch of people complaining about the horrible smell now do you ( unless it is as thick a fog ). They make pipe tobacco that smells like apples, cherries, and other fruits and flavors, why in the heck can`t they do that for cigarettes. It would wipe the whole stinking issue off the table ( pun intended ). I have been on both sides of this issue, and both sides have valid claims , but the big hoopla for most people is the smell. There will always be the radical fringes on both sides, you just cannot stop that part, but addressing what seems to be the main issue of the argument would defintitely tone the whining down a few notches.
