The deception is yours. All you talk about is lung cancer and the truth is smoking causes many more kinds of afflictions. Second hand smoke can certainly cause cancer, but that''''s not all. Yes, people do get cancer that have never smoked, but that doesn''''t make smoking better. Personally, my problem with you is your intent to minimize.

I merely pointed out that we need to be aware of environmental causes. There are a lot of people working in passively dangerous environments and OSHA is not doing enough to educate and protect them.

I did not mean to upset you. Which illustrates my point about passively dangerous environments. This blog must be one, as it seems to have caused a vessel to burst in your cranium.

Second hand smoke? Even the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION says there''s no proof. They don''t BELIEVE IT. So climb off the high horse...and stop being a wimp.

Keep your sticky fingers off my fat and off my cigarettes. I''ll eat and smoke what I want. Control freaks all around us. What''s wrong with libs?

Cigarettes will always be legal because too many lawmakers smoke and love it, so they aren''t about to make it illegal. heh

Because they know that the article will draw the same bunch of fake zealots who will, as usual, flood their servers with the same intolerant garbage.

As for smoking, the Court should either legalize pot and tax both, or make cigarettes illegal, and create a whole new class of criminals to fill the jails, while the Wall Street criminals and the Bush treason klan get free passes because the jails are too full.

no surprise here. Rethuglicans protecting their own criminal kind. Nothing new folks.
Liars, cheats, crooks, thugs. That is the republican party, that is the GOP. Pigs, all of them.
BTW...

(CBS/ AP) Pope Benedict XVI says the global financial crisis shows the futility of money and ambition.

"He who builds only on visible and tangible things like success, career and money builds the house of his life on sand," the pontiff says.

"We are now seeing, in the collapse of major banks, that money vanishes, it is nothing," the pope adds.

The pontiff was speaking Monday as he opened the works of a meeting of 253 bishops at the Vatican.

Benedict says "the only solid reality is the word of God."

Tobacco is pure poison and offers not one benefit to anyone, not one. If this court sides with big tobacco, well all I can say is that it has become a worthless court and has had no credibility since they decided to steal an election in order to pay political favors.
