That was the intended strategy all along; since Meathead invented the scam in California.
Regardless of what traditional disease kills people, if one has ever smoked, statistically the officially recorded cause of death is "smoking." Even violent traffic deaths, murders, suicide, gang killings...
Exactly and I have told people that for years.
Gang does a driveby and kills a member of a rival gang? Did the rival gang member smoke? Yes? Ok chalk up another “Smoking related death”
Its almost comical now.
