Maybe it was the 500 or so chemicals use in making the smoke that caused
the cancer. What passes for non organic smoke is full of the worst
chemicals. Glad to c there will be a organic choice for those that do
smoke. It may give them a fighting chance.

And how many mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons
will die the same horrible deaths from the tobacco
that YOU knowingly produce?

HOLD ON JUST A COTTON PICKIN' MINUTE!!!!!!!!!
I've lived through 3 family
deaths from lung cancer or COPD--all directly
related to smoking. The most
recent being my dad. I watched him slowly
strangle to death the 2 weeks he
was hospitalized, and when he had the breath to
speak begged us to not
smoke. I sure as hell know what tobacco does. I
also know that the same
can be said for anything else done to the
extreme--FOOD being a prime
example--which has caused more health problems
than tobacco ever will.

My dad didn't have to warn me--I never have smoked
& never will, but tobacco
is still a legal crop, and people still have the
choice to enjoy it, and
until such time comes I will grow it, and not hang
my head in shame.

You can call me insane, but NEVER a
hypocrite!!!!!!!!!!!!!
