..from any other major product. I'm just sick of people acting "shocked" over the various revelations that keep coming out. I knew from the age of two that sucking a big stick of smoke over and over again couldn't be good for you...why didn't anyone else? "Hmmmmm, millions smoke these things sometimes dozens of times a day, oh NO!!! I'm shocked, SHOCKED that they're addictive! And MADE to be that way?!? Why, I would have NEVER guessed." Please. If anything, all this has proved is that "The Greatest Generation" was also "The Oblivious Generation", since everyone before 1965 seemed ignorant to the fact that smoking might be, just maybe, just POSSIBLY, bad for you...
