MORE HEALTH ISSUES, MORE LAWSUITS, MORE CRIME

The last few weeks there is much ado about smoking cigarettes. Big 
Brother decided it is very bad for you. They spend millions on ad 
campaigns warning against smoking.

Lawsuits are pending against tobacco companies; lawyers are claiming 
the tobacco boys have been deceiving the public for the last 50 
years. At the same time, doctors have been telling us, also for the 
last 50 years, smoking's bad for your health. So we were well-informed.

And now smokers who got sick want to put the blame on the tobacco 
companies, not taking responsibility for their own stupidity.

But now another thing: The big push is on to legalize marijuana 
smoking. I heard there are some real bad chemicals in that stuff - 
even worse than tobacco. Marijuana use almost always leads to more 
heavy drug use. So now we're gonna have cokeheads driving our roads 
along with drunks. More health issues, more lawsuits, more crime.

Kinda ironic, isn't it.
