I see. Anyone who disagrees must be tainted by tobacco money. But
that taint only goes one way -- belief NEVER affects the truth...
unless you're a smoker. And of course this being a political

to be misused. (WHO discovered AIDS? WHAT races are supposedly
genetically less intelligent? Oh, and power lines cause cancer...)
