I guess this is one way to thin out the population & make some mad loot.

if you've ever seen cigarette ads from the 40's and 50's they were sold that way here too - having all sorts of health benefits.

yup i remember, & all the news anchors smoked on air...it was great :)

Wow... that was a little bit before my time. Did they really smoke ON air? I've never seen any clips of that.

I'm in my 20's its before my time too, but yea...i watch alot of history channel & they sure did smoke on air...live t.v.

Talk shows would have ashtrays & the guests could smoke too.

I've always believed cigarettes were given a bad rap. If they caused cancer as much as we have been told then why is it cancer rates have only declined 1.6% since the '70's yet only 25% of the population still smoke? Back in the '70's almost half the population smoked, shouldnt cancer rates have declined a hell of a lot more?

because a lot of other cancerous (sp) crap has entered your diet since then

wow that is some interesting news

Wow the idiots in this thread lmao

Cigarettes can't be good for you. The Globe and Mail covered this extensively about two weeks ago. Interesting side effect of state run government. Telling people cigarettes are good for you...180 degrees from what we are told. But then again, Iraq was invaded because some guy from Saudi Arabia orchastrated an attack on US soil. And Paul Martin isn't a fucking theif embezelling taxpayer $$ for multimillion dollar 'ad contracts' I'm done bitching now.

1/4 in China smoke :2 cents: :2 cents: :2 cents:

We Sturgeons learned from WhietLies.com that cigarettes contain rat poision. Therefor, we believe that a pack a day keeps the rats away.

Not just your diet, carcinogens are all around us. Your computer, your chair, your shoes, the toys we give our kids, all contain materials that are really bad for us to be breathing in.

lol ... well i guess they don't base this on facts...:)

Ok thats it , I'm signing off...................

i remember seeing clips of John Lennon smoking on some talk show back in the 70's.
