  4. After it had been irrefutably established that the tobacco companies had been willfully withholding information regarding the degree of toxicity associated with tobacco, and the harm that it can cause, it boggles the mind that there are still tobacco apologists out there.

  10. I say your a jack ass who probably wears pink and never won a fght in your life...but instead of being a twit....try answering the question...you quote my question and then bring up 2 drinks per day??? afraid to answer the question i guess... Drugs and Alcohol are the torment of society....cigarettes are not...Drugs and Alcohol are consistently involved in crime...cigarettes are not...drugs and alcohol have destroyed nations and neighborhoods and the lives of inner city children in a way you could never imagine...Gangs are formed and gangwar has been waged for hundreds of years over drugs and Alcohol...not for Luckey strikes you putz.,
