Nice article. I like this part:

Future commentators are likely to consider attempts to remove safer alternatives to cigarettes from the market unethical, however virtuous the missionaries of the nicotine eradication gospel may feel.

That's putting it mildly. As this adventure unfolds, more and more in the tobacco Control cult are gonna be dependent on sleep meds from Big Pharma.

It really is that simple Nicnik, absolutely blows my mind that the spin machine has been able to get as much traction as they have. Always nice to see it spelled out, even better if the names end up on a court docket.

I've been trying for a while to load the article but keep getting "server not found" - I finally tried just loading the home page and it loaded. Searched for the article, it found it, clicked the link, "server not found" again. I guess they removed the article.

Flavor-free EVERYTHING -- everything processed so that it has no flavor whatever. Let them ruminate on the benefit of flavors then...

I don't know, that idea might need some tweaking, but I sure would like to see you put in charge of their rehabilitation.

ROFL!!! Your cat seems to be thinking "Mom *made* me wear this get-up."

I keep thinking of getting one of those small hats for figurines at Hobby Lobby, for our cat, because of my silly little rhyme: "Tuxie Wuxie was a cat, Tuxie Wuxie had no hat..." (a la 'Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear...')

That's a pic I found on the 'net, but I have a cat that looks just like that - and she has a TON of attitude. My best friend named her Lucy (as in "I Love Lucy") when she was a kitten - because she was absolutely crazy, and always running around getting into trouble. She's still crazy lol.
