What was so appalling you ask? He was reciting the same "death statistics" from the anti-smoking campaign. He did not even TRY to alter them. I had been doing research on the anti-smoking campaign at that time so all the numbers were fresh in my mind. I sat there with my mouth hanging open...I could not believe it.

That's unreal.  To use the same numbers! What an idiot!

To use the same numbers! What an idiot!

Yep. I must not have been the only one to catch it. Not long after that they started the rhetoric of re-adjusting the stats, with the most recent of course being 1/10 of what they originally said. Unreal.
