I hear smoking makes it harder for people to stay on topic. This thread, for example. Wasn't it supposed to be about the highly manipulative tobacco companies upping the nicotine to keep their addicts hooked?
"There was a 12 per cent rise in levels of Marlboro cigarettes, the brand preferred by two-thirds of American secondary student smokers. Levels in Kool Menthol lights, popular with African-American smokers, increased by 30 per cent.
In 1998, Newport menthol filter 100s and Camel non-filters tied for highest nicotine at 2.9 milligrams. By 2004, Newport had 3.2 milligrams; five brands had 3.0 milligrams or more."
Smoke'em if you got'em no brains.
