I believe the war against tobacco is part of a broader effort to turn us away from traditional pleasures, cures, and
comforts, and to turn us into consumers of therapies and pharmaceutical alternatives
Every prescription drug has potentially nasty
side-effects, which kill and or make thousands of people sicker every year, needing more pills. We have a pain, feel sad or depressed,
sneeze or miss a night's sleep, we start popping pills. Are people brainwashed, week babies or just plain crazy.
The World Health
Organization, for instance, insists that 'ETS kills' even though its own major study proved that it doesn't. This is a classic example
of not letting the facts get in the way of an agenda.
