relieves schizophrenia, boosts brain cells

and eliminates loneliness and depression?
We know smoking tobacco is not good for kids
but a lot of other things aren't good
Drinking's not good

By buying cigarettes I increase state revenues and I will die of lung cancer
so the state won't have to pay me a pension
Former Prime Minister

than for long-term Social Security and Medicaid benefits?
It is more profitable for your congressman to support the tobacco industry
than your life
Jackie Mason

by motivating more Americans to smoke would they tell everybody?
