OT Tony, On the issues of cigarettes, I view them as benign for the most part. In moderation, nearly anything is fine. Unfortunately, we live in a country of extreme excess. People smoke 2-3 packs a day for 30 years and then develop cancer of some type. I would be surprised if they did not. Eat 2-3 BigMacs every day and you will surely develop heart disease. Stare into the sun for 5 seconds a day and you will go blind. BTW, I like the commercials. There are companies like MO(and AMAT) doing things for charities and their local communities; these should be highlighted more. JMO, Brian
