Basically, tobacco is a hazardous product that should be removed from the market. It causes death and disease, a fact which is indisputable. Thoeries to the contrary are based on misinformation and falsehood. As for losing funds from tobacco taxes, I'm sure the government will find a way of replacing them. They always do (and hopefully it will be in the form of a progressive tax that doesn't harm those with the lowest incomes). As for lost jobs in the tobacco industry, please consider the following. The tobacco farmer is a farmer. He can adjust and grow a different crop. Transportation companies can transport different products. Factory workers can learn to operate different machines. One thing is certain, change will always come. It is a fortunate thing that people are so adaptable. Otherwise, predictions of dire consequences as a result of the death of any industry would have proven true and the results would have been more tragic than we have seen. Sure, there are many sad stories resulting from plant closings and industries that became obsolete over time but, there are just as many stories of triumph and growth resulting from the new condition that made them obsolete. If you look at change as a new opportunity instead of a hopeless tragedy, the possibilities are endless. If you look at change as hopeless tragedy, unfortunately for you, it will likely be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Gosh, Audrey: Once again, you show your intellectual superiority. Go ahead and run, you diseased gash

You, once again, are allowing your ignorance to overestimate your intellectual capacity. You are so beneath me that I can't converse with you anymore. Go grow up and get a job if you are capable...try under maintenance!

I'm sure it is. You are undoubtedly the best speller in the history of man. Perhaps you can write a dictionary so we insects can benefit from your vast knowledge.

Audrey: Was misspelling typo a typo or was it intentional?

[honestabe8]

Audrey: Yet you assume that other's errors were not typos?

March of Dimes deputy medical director Diane Ashton, MD, MPH, tells WebMD that many of the same chemicals found in cigarette smoke are found in air pollution.

"It certainly makes sense that exposure to these chemicals in air pollution can impact pregnancy outcomes," she says. "We definitely need larger studies to help us figure this out."

Honestabe, I hope you realize that, that was a typeo! I would challenge you to a spelling bee any day and win hands down......
