I've said that all along, Argh. If smoking tobacco was like spewing Mustard Gas, they would have banned it 50 years ago. Heck, my own parents told me back in the 50's "IF YOU SMOKE WE WILL KILL YOU!" "SMOKING ISN'T GOOD FOR YOU." That was back in the "50's!!!!"
But the anti-smoking health fanatics of today make it sound like something that was just discovered. And the money they make, well, it's no wonder! The sad thing is: the Tobacco Settlement money that they are funded with is paid for 100% by smokers who pay taxes on cigarettes through the Tobacco Settlement Money. NOT big Tobacco and NOT the Government. The smokers.
