In the 1930's,cigarettes were routinely referred to as "coffin nails".I remember my dad even had an old 78 record "Put Another Nail in my Coffin." And the guy was singing about smoking. I don't know why this is allowed to go on, but we have all known at least since the 50's, that smoking is not good for us.
And yet, the song sings on.

Daily, you'll see them denying tobacco's health effects. Sad cases.Base canard, as you know.
But don't let that interfere with your crusade.
You anti-smoking Carrie Nations make bigger fools out of yourselves every day. Keep up the good work.
To: Alter Kaker
Not only are there such people, but there's a large community of them on FreeRepublic. Daily, you'll see them denying tobacco's health effects. Sad cases.Who are these people? As much as I frequent the tobacco threads I've never seen any posts of that nature.

BRAVO!
Add in money for "cancer research" which is piddled away telling people not to smoke. Spend it on the cure, already!

But if you have to quantify it, more Israelis are killed by tobacco smoke each year than by the Arabs. I oppose both.

There have been warnings on cigarettes, snuff, and chewing tobacco for right around 40 years or so, so the deception angle is just a bit phony.
I expect no less from freedom hating antis, though.

Gee Gabz, I'm sorry I missed all the fun!
I am still waiting for a response from AK on my post to him/her/it on August 15th. I notice AK's homepage has changed since last week.
Seems that AK simply wants to spam all the threads and disappear and repeat as necessary.

but there's a large community of them on FreeRepublic Yes, much like the large community on FR that spams threads and will not respond when others put forth studies debunking the junk science that you post.
Have you moved?

I can't be bothered wasting my time with such types........however, my time is well spent when another person realizes them for the fraudulent liars they all are.
