There is a long article on the Forest site which claims that the health hazards of smoking are based on falsely gathered statistics and the this whole anti smoking mania has been whipped up by the pharmacutical companies who want to sell more Prozac

I did laugh when I recently saw the head of FOREST being interviewed on TV, and talking about the benefits of smoking.

The interviewer asked him if he smoked...and he sheepishly replied no!:D

I have read that the North American natives (ie the ones that were there first) smoke more than the other US citizens but have a much lower incidence of lung cancer. Must be because they dont expose themselves to pollution in the same way the rest of them do - ie - they live ecologically.

I wonder if Native Americans also have less incidence of disease from passive smoking?

Perhaps it's having a flap for a door, and a hole in the roof of the teepee that is the answer.:D

You will get Eric angry mentioning teepees - they do live in houses nowadays but their culture means that they prefer wild landscapes to live in and cherish the land, so avoiding city style pollution.
There could be something genetic in the predisposition to cancer which is triggered by ALL forms of pollution. Did you know that there is even nicotine in water!!

Err...I was using humour to point out that although it will be illegal to smoke tobacco in an enclosed space, in a little over six hours, illegal drugs will still be being used all over the country. Some of which, cannabis for instance, still an illegal narcotic, can be smoked in public, with no fear of prosecution.

Your comment referring to me as the devil man, is petty, and shows that perhaps you are still smarting for being made to look a little silly, by majority consent of the people that took part, in the thread about bank charges.

Time to get over it, and move on.:)

Now, where's my crack pipe?

If you really think I'm the devil incarnate, you need to get out more. It's a big bad world out there.:D
