I saw a news blurb today that there is a proposal to rate any movie R is there is any smoking in the flick.
Rated R for smoking...
It has officially become sick.

A movement needs to be made by the cigar industry to stop cigars from being grouped with cigarettes. Anti smoking advocates are providing misleading information or substituting cigarette information for lack of cigar research.
This artcle "Smoke Screen" gives some pretty good examples.

That was a great read Keith......"men who smoked a cigar or two a day were only 2 percent more likely to die during a 12-year period than nonsmokers, a difference that was not statistically significant".............
..............really
hock:.....that was interesting

Quote:In the study, researchers led by Carlos Iribarren, an epidemiologist with the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in California, tracked about 18,000 menââ¬â1,546 cigar smokers and 16,228 nonsmokersââ¬âfrom 1971 through 1995. Overall, the cigar smokers were about twice as likely to develop cancers of the mouth, throat, and lungs; 45 percent more likely to develop chronic obstructive lung disease; and 27 percent more likely to develop coronary heart disease.I would advocate that at least some (if not all) of this can be explained away by the fact that some cigar smokers allow some smoke to be inhailed.

This is getting out of control.

hollywood and people's blind devotion to it's machinations went south many many moons ago. again we get this black snake moan racist piece of dog crap being widely released with a black derelict looking fellow holding a chain affixed around the neck of a white girl on all fours and yet smoking is taboo. yup.
