Are you a victim of propaganda?

Lets see, shall we?

SMOKING DOES NOT CAUSE LUNG CANCERS (According to WHO/CDC Data)*

PRIMARY SMOKING AND LUNG CANCER

THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF SMOKING AND NICOTINE

SMOKING AND SIDS

SMOKING AND BREAST CANCER

SMOKING, ULCER, COLITIS, STOMACH AND COLON CANCER

SMOKING AND PARKINSON

SMOKING AND ASTHMA

THE ANTI-SMOKERS LIED ABOUT OSTEOPOROSIS AND ABOUT ESTROGEN

COVER-UP: NON-SMOKING IS A RISK FOR THROMBOEMBOLISM

And whew, does the list go on!
Some truth (again, there is a LOT OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH out there) and the results of all of this:

THE REST OF THE STORY: TOBACCO NEWS ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY

Blog of a physician who specialized in preventive medicine and public health.

American Cancer Society Still Misrepresenting Scientific Evidence; Is it in a Position to Be Attacking Others for Scientific Misconduct?

DEAF MAN ATTACKED FOR SMOKING AT BUS STATION

So the question you have to ask yourselves now is WHY ARE YOU BEING LIED TO?

THE MONEY TRAIL

PHARMACEUTICAL MULTINATIONALS: BUYING GOVERNMENTS, SELLING ANTISMOKING

Then again, it may just come down to a smoke screen, giving the masses something to focus on instead of what is really going on in this world that requires our attentions and actions.

Who knows?

So ask yourself this, are you a victim of propaganda?

THE SUBJECT OF TOLERANCE (A YouTube video, South Park Style)

The above has been an mental exercise of introspective thought based upon the use of media and the masses as well as the reasoning thoughts of the individual.

The reactions should be quite revealing, yes?

Cheers!

An wise person looks at risks, evaluates them, and makes decisions about them.

I choose to smoke a pipe, understanding the risks.

Thanks Melissa. Smoke in peace

Thanks for the article thingie. You'll probably get a lot of negative comments from brainwashed fascists, but those of us who prefer facts over political pseudoscientific BS appreciate it.
As a mutual friend said: "information has never stopped zealotry", so put your fire retardant suit on for what will inevitably follow ;)
