RE:"On the issues of cigarettes, I view them as benign for the most part."

I hope Brian doesn't smoke. He supplies more info for this thread than anyone, and his loss would be felt. I lost 2 of my best friends to lung cancer both around the age of 50. They died horrible deaths from run-away tumors caused specifically by cigarrettes. I was addicted until I was about 35 when I was lucky enough to quit. I started smoking when I was very young and I am sure that the tobacco companies marketing effort was directed at kids like me. I hope for a day when Tobacco is no more. I won't ever buy tobacco company stocks. It's my little contribution to their demise as well as a way to honor my friends.
