JRM>Second...blaming cigarette companies for teen-age smoking
JRM>is like blaming hot fudge sundaes for fat people.
Not at all...
Overweight (FAT) people are usually that way due to a medical condition
or two. This condition causes them to gain weight easily.  Thin people
can scarfe Hot Fudge sundaes in large quainities and not gain an ounce
(Don't you just want to KILL them)  Us overweight types.. Just the smell
of good HOt Fudge is good for five lbs.
Now smoking.. Use of cartoon charecters (Joe Cool) and some of the other
advertising gimics the Tobaco companies have used is a clear attempt to
hook kids.  In other countries where the tobacco laws are, basically NOT
yet, They pass out free samples to kids IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS to get
them good and hooked.
And if you read any of the released minutes of meetings and memo's and
the like from folks like the board of R.J. Reynolds.
You WILL be heading to the store for a pitch fork and some rope.
