Yup, and while I knew they were doing this with guns and smoking for years.. it now cements in my mind that every stat they put out about smoking is BS and flat out lies as well. Its all about control.

As a former smoker (not antismoker, I hasten to add) I have to agree. It’s about control. I remember the antismoking PSA offensive hit fever pitch in the 1970’s when they screamed “thirty percent of smokers will die of lung cancer!!”

No math major but I deduced that this meant that seventy percent of smokers would not die of lung cancer. Well, shazaam!

I quit because I made a personal decision. That’s all.
