I think it's a good thing they stopped selling cigs. It just might make the light bulb go off and get someone to quit.

Actually there are studies to prove almost anything. In fact there are many studies that show that second hand smoke does no harm at all.

I'm not saying that either one is right or wrong, but you just can't say things like "they have concluded that....."


I also quit smoking many years ago and don't like it when people smoke, but this is nothing more then a publicity stunt and public relations move. They probably aren't making enough margin on cigarettes these days. That's what usually drives big corporations like this.
