S. had dropped to 18 percent. Also included in the article was the fact that smoking is the leading cause of preventable illness and death. In light of this information, it is difficult to understand why the majority of voters in this state approved the use of marijuana which includes the inhaling of smoke into their lungs and lungs of those around them. The answer to this is the increasing stupidity of these voters. Dan Lantz Lake Stevens - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
