"Young people smoking."
..,,.
Yay yay yay, Silas. Ain't that ever one!

I mean, when I was young we all smoked. It was, sort of, maybe a little eccentric, not to.

But then, we didn't know.

Then when they found the connection, oh the opposition; the resentment; the odd air of blaming the researchers for what their research had established [SHOOT THE MESSENGER, as ever!]; the letters to the papers aiming to prove that it couldn't be so; the gradual acceptance that, dammit, yes, indeed, it was so...

Now they DO know.

And still they do it.

Incredible!
