For those fools out there who still believe that smoking is not harmful to you or others, I offer you these two stories: 1) Even casual smoking is harmful to newborns leading to them being born with addictions in addition to birth defects. There's a reason you are not to smoke during pregnancy or be near people who smoke. 2) American cigarettes more carcinogenic than other brands: CDC. They did a study on the cancer-causing chemicals in cigarettes from two manufactures in the US and 13 from other countries. They found the brands from the US had TWICE the number of cancer-causing chemicals than 11 of the 13 other countries. Something I found odd, a spokesperson for one of the companies actually said: "We're trying to find a way to reduce the harm associated with our products by reducing the level of harmful constituents that smokers inhale." I just find that interesting that there's an admission that these things are bad for you heh.
