Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the reality then again I will certainly come back again. obviously like your website but you need to test the spelling on several of your posts.

I've actually been shocked by the number of people recently who have recently claimed that tobacco smoke isn't harmful. It happened on one blog, and on the comments section of our provincial newspaper. It's been a seriously strange week. Thanks John H and John K…

I’ve actually been shocked by the number of people recently who have recently claimed that tobacco smoke isn’t harmful. It happened on one blog, and on the comments section of our provincial newspaper.

It’s been a seriously strange week.

I wonder if there's a scientific paper in this - akin to finding some isolated tribe in some previously unexplored corner of the world. Richard,

Secondhand smoke is junk science so is Global Warming. Must be tongue in cheek, because otherwise he just sealed your argument about the common tactics used by the tobacco industry and Big Oil. > Maybe people like tobacco and oil which is why they buy it.

Must be tongue in cheek, because otherwise he just sealed your argument about the common tactics used by the tobacco industry and Big Oil.

We'll lock you you in a small, sealed room, and pump in the smoke from 300 cigarettes every hour, eight hours per day, and we'll see how you do over the course of a couple of years. Deal? No, I didn't think so. Scientists are sure that secondhand smoke is carcinogenic, and that climate change is happening now. And I don't want your liberty or your prosperity. I just want you to stop destroying the planet. There are solutions if you'd pull you head out of the sand long enough to figure that out.

Now we have mega oil companies as a result of Reagan undoing antil trust laws and paving the way for big mergers. They're back in spades with more power than ever.
