My next computer will be a Apple! Maybe the people there find something better to do with there money. Like just have fun with it. Next time B&G maybe gonna take fat food out of the stores in the US? That is much more 'urgent', it seems. I know some young non-smoking big people with BIG problems like a stroke. And I know a lot of old smokers who are ok. So who are you guys going to nanny best?

Please view my video "What if ..." on this subject. Thanks! Give the tobacco farmers something else to grow, create, etc. Next we need to look at the chemicals that saturdate our brains ie. shampoo, conditioners and other concoctions peeps put directly on their heads!

All you stupid smokers need to quit, thats all. Yeah, its addicting..blah blah..well try quitting heroin, or forms of pain medication addiction. You want to talk about difficult?!

I just think if Tobacco is legal, then other addictive drugs such as codeine, marijuana...etc..should be legalized also.

Thank you for being our all-caring nanny-stater(and now a worldwide one), Loony Bloomy! You too, Mr. Gates, being also the same guy that can't make a decent ad(online, TV, wherever) to save his life, or making a decent computer OS. *looks at Vista* I do love the fact that more dollars will be wasted to further scapegoat smokers, while nothing is being done to fight worldwide health problems that are worsening faster than smoking is(and is declining anyway), such as obesity. Go after real probs!
