Thread Name: BS: Smoker/Non-Smoker?
Subject: RE: BS: Smoker/Non-Smoker?
Daylia, that's an absolutely fascinating viewpoint that is presented on that webpage. I wonder if it is accurate? I do not doubt for a moment that the nuclear tests have had very bad effects on the human race (and other living things) and caused many, many cancers to develop, and the governments which authorized the testing are to blame for it. They would indeed wish to find a scapegoat, wouldn't they?

I have also observed that regular heavy tobacco smoking is quite bad for people's health, however, and ages them prematurely in various ways. Light tobacco smoking on the other hand is probably not bad for people's health. It certainly didn't mess up the health of North American Indians in the old days...and they were very light smokers by today's standards.

Much food for thought on that webpage. Maybe I should take up smoking a cigar or two a day, like Chongo. :-)

I suspect that you will get some very intemperate responses to that site from people whose minds are already all made up!

I find it interesting to consider what it says. I still detest the smell of cigarettes and cigars (when they're burning), but I am willing to consider alternative viewpoints on this matter.
