RE:"The tobacco industry has been using the science argument to back up their viewpoint for most of my lifetime, and I got a senior citizen discount yesterday"

So, you're a geezer now? <G>

As far as science is concerned, well you can get an expert witness for just about any view these days.
No doubt that tobacco is a carcinogen, my uncle (one of the first studies) and some others proved that 35 years ago.
On the other hand, tobacco isn't that bad of a carcinogen.
So they find worse carcinogens and compare.

As for Gore, rather interesting that his family is/was in the tobacco business and his sister died from lung cancer...

I thought you were coming around to a more libertarian, anarchist point of view but I guess party lines die hard...
