Yep you missed it. Completely and totally missed it, over your head, gone, out past the cheap seats of your 'lofty' brain.

Once again.. If the research money that has been expended on all the redundant studies which reached the preordained conclusion that 'cigarettes are bad' for you had been spent on research into finding a cure for cancer, we might even be there by now.

Not cut and paste butchery, not zapping someone with radiation, and not poisoning the person, but killing the specific cells which are multiplying uncontrollably.

Find a cancer cure, then it does not matter if you get cancer, and it does not matter why. It could even be from a virus. Get it???

Whether it be from the formaldehyde in your carpet, the flouride in your water, picking your nose in the freeway, the cause does not matter because you can be cured.

Nope you are so hung up on feeling all superior about having quit smoking YOU try to distort my point as being pro tobacco, rather than pro cancer cure.

One last time. Spend the money on good, basic cancer research, not pissing around with billboards and dubious computer models, but find a cure, not a remedy, a cure, something which will benefit everyone, (not just those who despite all social villification, being treated like a second-class citizen, and putting up with the tedious self-righteous rants of ex- and anti-smokers, just might take up the evil habit).

Once again, you are wrong. But nice try at turning your opinion into fact. Sorry though, it won't work.

Cancer is only one of the issues, as I have pointed out twice already, but you don't GET IT.

One last time, it ain't your money and you don't get to choose how other people spend theirs.

And please don't pretend you aren't advocating smoking, you certainly are, down to your very screen name. Misery loves company.

No Joe, he'll oppose anything that might benefit someone who enjoys a smoke. Even if it means sacrificing a possible cure for thousands of innocent children, who have a host of different cancers, their doctors can't explain. Much like the representative of the American Lung Association who commented years ago, they wouldn't support a vaccine to cure lung cancer, because then people wouldn't quit smoking. Screw the people that never smoked and die of lung cancer. Kind of sick.
