And smoking too. I took up smoking in the late Seventies, and haven't had a cold or flu since then. Not even once. It's time people woke up to the fact that we've been lied to about tobacco. The chief reason governments have sought to ban it is that every time you have a cigarette your I.Q. doubles. Can't have that now, can we? Also: The Greeks have the lowest cancer rate in Europe, and are the heaviest smokers in Europe - go figure.

1100 Americans die every day from smoking. A tragedy indeed. Too bad the video neglected to mention the even more startling 3750 unborn American children who were killed by their parents on that day, and every day since. A figure which tops the 9/11 death count.
