Today's Vice, Tomorrow's Cure:
…government health ministers have been sitting on data for years, that prove non-smokers, teetotallers, and yogurt-noshers risk idiocy in their autumnal years.
Pataki Vetoes Fire-Safe Cigarette Bill:
N.Y. Gov. George Pataki has vetoed a bill that would have required tobacco companies to sell only self-extinguishing cigarettes in New York starting in April 2002.
Online Sale Of Tobacco Drawing A Fight:

-- J.P. Dietz, Burnsville.
New Zealand: "If you ban tobacco advertising you can't have any exceptions otherwise unfairness is created," said Robert Howard. "I believe in freedom but there is a limit and the government (both parties) have agreed to the ban." " is truly frightening. Apparently, he sees nothing wrong with the "fairness" of banning tobacco advertizing. Is lottery or horse racing advertizing permitted? Alcohol? Sex paraphernalia? Which "vices" are legal to advertize? And is it any of the government's business?
