And a decent bet as an (un)intended consequence: Cigarettes' enhanced status as a "taboo" product actually augments its appeal to teens. Can't remember where this was but somewhere ( Europe? ) someone is marketing cigarettes in a black box with a skull and crossbones on it and they are flying off the shelf.

Duncan, I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the settlement with the government by tobacco 65 billion dollars? That's real money. Why is a government that routinely turns a blind eye to all sorts of crimes by officials now after Clinton? "Nothing in politics happens by accident." So why? It's not because Clinton was getting some or that he lied. We know nobody in government cares about that. So what is the real reason Starr is after him? You tell me and try not to repeat the evening news. Then I'll know you're wrong. Bob
