From Scientific Amaerican:
Health insurers want you to keep smoking, Harvard doctors say
Now I'm sure that there are people who will see nothing at all wrong with this and will feel the need to explain how insurance companies have to go where the money is to serve their customers, yada yada.
I think it's bullshit and that health care insurance companies shouldn't be investing in one of the biggest threats to health out there. But that's just me.

No I won't and can't defend this. It's hypocracy. I grew up with many people smoking around but frankly I really can't deal with the stuff today. There's a bar near me I refuse to go to because they allow it. Yes some places can put the whole filtration system but I think it's simply just to not allow it in.
This is one thing actually that we are beyond europe and easily asia. When I spent time in china I saw cigs on the menu right next to the deserts! Also companies modify things so it isn't so much the original tobacco you are smoking but added chemicals and byproducts.
Here's a little odd thing to do...try to find how many cars have actual lighters in them. I'm not talking about the electric 9v thing I mean an actual lighter.
