Lorillard’s comments to FDA CTP re possible menthol cigarette ban, a work of art

Yes, I know this is about a possible menthol cigarette ban, but make no mistake, if we're not involved now, we most likely will be soon if FDA gets its way. So pay attention, class...

From the good Doctor*: Lorillard’s comments to FDA CTP re possible menthol cigarette ban, a work of art | Anti-THR Lies and related topics

Thank you, Dr. Phillips, for giving me my first good belly laugh of the day:

....the logic requires acknowledging that people smoke because they like it, some people use menthol because they like it, people quit because they prefer to quit, and such. This runs directly contrary to the tobacco control industry’s notions of why people smoke (and why they use menthol), which is basically they are possessed by demons. I actually think that FDA is coming to grips with the fact that they cannot continue to endorse the demonic possession fiction and make defensible policy, but they are not quite ready to step up yet.

Wow. I am truly flattered.

Wow. I am truly flattered.

Honesty is not flattery. You're a doctor... and damn, you're good!

And like the predecessor "good doctor", Carl is a prolific writer.

Yeah, except he had published over 100 books by the time he was my age. My blog posts just don't add up to nearly that.

Sounds like you were having fun without the FDA's approval. Are you sure that's wise?

I like it: one wrote science fiction; the other exposes fictitious science.

It's damn good reading, though. Thanks for all you do.

I guess you'd better get crackin' then!
