re: #280 Sharmuta

I did ask the kid of the anti-tobacco lawyer if they knew if it was the tobacco that caused health issues or if it was the additives tobacco companies put in their product.

He said they didn’t know.

That’s a lawyer’s kid talking.

Ask an oncologist’s kid (me). Who used to smoke. The studies are incontrovertible. Tobacco all by itself is deadly. Additives (which until the new FDA powers go into effect have never had to be listed - unlike virtually any other consumable product we buy) are the icing on the cake. We’ll know more when we find out what they actually are.
