Is VD on this list? A lot of people smoke cigarettes after casual sex.

How about alcoholism? Alcoholism is a disease, right? Does smoking cause alcoholism? Or pedophilia? Or gambling? The libs would have us believe that these are diseases. I can't wait until they are caused by something like smoking. Pretty soon, everybody will have an excuse and not have to take responsibility.

"There is no safe cigarette, whether it is called 'light,' ultra-light,' or any other name," Dr. Carmona said.

Yeah.

Now how about spending some of those cigarrette taxes on developing a safe cigarette?

The FDA has proved that second hand smoke causes paranoia.

I wish the Surgeon General would do something about perfumes, air freshners, popourri, etc. That stuff is just as, if not more harmful than cigarettes.

I'm about the same age as tubby Thommy Thompson; I smoke and I bet I go to the doctor less times than he does. And the things I go for have nothing to do with smoking, unless smoking leads to doing stupid things to aggrivate your back, or make you more likely to be stung by a wasp.

His back and legs must squeal on a daily basis, along with shortness of breath from carrying what looks to be the equivalent of an army backpack permanently attached to his body.

When will all the present and former Surgeons General let us know how much fatties cost us all in excessive medical costs? rant-off

I'm close to someone that works in tobacco manufacturing. It's not just tobacco that people are smoking. There is also a bizaare host of additives, many of which you would not ever consider in the normal course of thought.

Their behavior control hasn't been successful so now we have a bunch of new fears. It's funny how the number of smoking related deaths keeps growing, while the rate of smoking is decreasing. The cigs of today must be the "crack of tobacco"!

...On average, men who smoke cut their lives short by 13.2 years...

And men who choose a homosexual lifestyle cut their lives short by 35 years.

But the Surgeon General is far too PC to make that statement.
