First, the Surgeon General has said that cigarettes are.... Secondly, this is your call as a resident of the Hudson River watershed but wouldn't it be better to eat the fish without the worry of PCBs? Sorry...I don't think I made my point clear. The government doesn't ban cigarettes (even though far fewer people would die from lung cancer) because tobacco companies would freak out, black markets would develop, and it would cause a lot of anxiety among current smokers. But the govt. does ban the taking of fish for human consumption in the upper Hudson even though it probably saves no one from PCB poisoning (who eats enough fish from the Hudson to be poisoned),no black markets in PCB laden fish would develop and no one would freak out (there are no commercial fisherman on the upper Hudson) But, if they didn't ban the fish, then there wouldn't be reason to spend billions of dollars of GE and govt. money to ATTEMPT to clean up the non problem. I will predict that the locals are going to fight this thing tooth and nail and the upper Hudson will not be dredged. The EPA has gone too far. THE WATSONYOUTH
