Do you walk down a city street in the middle of the day? Well, if you do you inhale heavy metal particles from car and truck exhaust, you also inhale a larger volume of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and a slew of long chain hydrocarbons. As a matter of fact I can smoke a pack a day out here in the hills and will receive a great deal less in the way of pollutants then you will walking a couple of blocks in the city.

Lucky you, to be living in such a nice place. Most of my illnesses came from the work place (factory). Paint fumes, along with chemical fumes and welding fumes makes for a lot of sick people. Then, there are workplace injuries that aren't compensated and all the previous mentioned are considered hazards of the job and are ok. I guess if there's money to be made, then a few deaths here and there is the norm and should be expected. Well, there is money to be made from cigarettes. It looks like the government makes more than the corporations. I just bought a carton of Winston with a $7.50 off coupon while I'm waiting for my six cartons ordered on the net for $83. It's my form of NAFTA.
