The US isn’t the only market.

And… the same people who cited ‘scientific evidence’ that lung cancer has no connection to smoking are back to claim there is no such thing as global warming or climate change.

I thought I read that tobacco companies came around to letting staff smoke in their offices because of the health hazards.

So…Mr. Butts takes the “Ted Cruz” approach to crisis?

I have friends & family in North Carolina. The drop off in the tobacco crop is profound

Always got a good laugh during these times. Hey, if you cough your lungs out when you first try it, it is bad for you. But that’s the lazy American way, always looking someone else to blame for your own stupidity. Grew up in the 50’s and 60’s, and even as a child I knew it was bad for me.

So! Apropos of nothing, what did everyone do for Bob Dylan’s 80th birthday today?

The tobacco lobby needn’t worry: As long as there’s peer pressure, the industry will be just fine.
