I don't agree with your suggestions that jurists should be shot. I suspect that MO will win most of these cases on appeal. You should take advantage of the weakness in MO to buy the shares. The dividend yield is high and secure at these levels. In Canada, teenage smoking levels have risen since the government reduced the prices of cigarettes a few years ago. Have you asked any of your students if they have or plan to reduce their levels of smoking as a result of the price increases in cigarettes.? Perhaps teenagers are turned off by all the anti smoking campaigns of recent years, and are rebelling by smoking more.? Teenagers frequently don't do what the society tells them to do. I agree that the next step would be for people to file lawsuits against the brewers and distillers for the effect of alcohol on liver disease. Sooner or later people will have to take responsibility for their actions.
