We're all gonna die!!!!!

Some of these claims are just over the top.

Hey Regina, name one person who died after smoking one cigarette.

Thursday's report says there's no doubt that tobacco smoke begins poisoning immediately — as more than 7,000 chemicals in each puff rapidly spread through the body to cause cellular damage in nearly every organ.

I have a problem with anyone who is such an intense acolyte of any obsession, that is colors every word that he/she (the person's name was not deemed important, so that tells me something about the poster, too) says.

Reminds me of the period s few years ago when I spent several weeks researching smoking , and how it attracted self-serving control freaks from random strangers to elected busibodies to presumably serious medical researchers.

The one documented fact that I found educational and contradictory, was that, of the 10 longest-lived recorded human beings of the last few hundred years worldwide, all of them smoked into advanced age, all lived at least to age 105, three smoked until shortly before their death, and five smoked until age 95.

The usual response that they might have lived even longer had they not smoked, I find shaky and unpersuasive.

I suspect these experts have no idea how to explain it, so they'd rather not talk about it.

Don’t you just love how the nation’s top health official needs to lose some weight? Speaking of which, just one ounce of extra body fat can clog arteries, cause heart attacks, and cause your d*ck to go limp.

Regina is the purveyor of anti-scientific fraud designed to whip up hysteria. She should be sent back to the hole from which she was dug.

I see no alternative but to issue every man, woman and child their very own personal hazmat suit. The world’s become so very dangerous out there.

One Surgeon General is too many.

Congress' establishment of a national hospital system in 1870 was the Federal government's foot in the door of health care. Now, the whole body's inside.

This policy by the Surgeon General is the polar opposite of that of the Social Security Administration director. The Social Security Administration urges everyone to smoke up. Taking up smoking at an early age greatly decreases your likelihood that you will reach an age to draw Social Security. So rush out and buy a carton today. Uncle Sam needs you to smoke.
