Jim, Re <<If cigarrettes are so bad why aren't they illegal. Why pussy foot around making the Lawyers rich. Ban them...>> The answer is so obvious and simple~ Who makes the largest profit from tobacco?? It is NOT the growers or cigarette makers, it is the government. The lawyers have done pretty well too, now that I think about it. <G> I'm sure info on hard numbers is listed somewhere on the web, probably at a tobacco site. I think you'll be shocked at the "revenue" numbers. HTH, JohnD
