Tobacco

[cairns]

I personally think the government spending money trying to stop smoking and control tobacco use is a terrible waste of money. We all know that cigarettes are bad for you. Ad campaigns are not going to change anything. If people want to smoke, they are going to, and who are we to tell them to stop. I don't fully buy into the "smoking causes cancer" bit entirely. Sure, smoking probably increases and in some cases causes lung cancer, but there are other things going on. Look at the guys who smoke a pack a day for their whole life and live til 85. Then others never smoke and get lung cancer and die at age 50. Little thing called genetics.

Your thoughts?

Agree 100%. Ironically (and sadly) my best friends wife was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and had a lung removed. She's 44 and never smoked. When your telemeres say it's time to go you're gone.

I'm trying to find a quote similar to the titled article below.

TOBACCO COMPANIES KILL THEIR BEST CUSTOMERS
Tobacco Companies Kill Their Best Customers. Hill & Knowlton Helped. | Barokas PR – PR minus the BS

Something like: ............the tobacco industry is the only industry which kills it's customers.

Who first said it, or was it a line in a movie?

Who knew Putin would have something in common with Bloomberg?
