As indicated by the introduction, the article by Stephen Jones was published because it was deemed to have merit in provoking thought. Overall the content is quite sound even if some points might be controversial.

As far as your comment is concerned, there is no need to shout to our readers. I have reasons for believing that they do, on the whole, possess a great deal of sense. As for your reasoning, it is not as sound as you seem to think and open to debate. Finally, please have the courage to back your convictions by using your real name. No one should take you seriously while you remain annonymous and call yourself commonsense.

It’s already been proven that people catch more colds and flus when their mucous is thin (respiratory tract dry) at certain times of the year and due to the drying effect of air conditioning.
PLEASE USE SOME COMMON SENSE!!!

In her book Heather meticulously documents how the World Health Authority and FDA have given peanut and soy oils GRAS status. Because these oils are “generally recognized as safe” they also ruled that they do not have to be listed as an ingredient in pharmaceuticals – vaccines, medicines, vitamins, etc.

She further documents how the allergy epidemic hit all at once and vaccinations with unlisted peanut oil as an ingredient is the only reasonable explanation for the sudden appearance of this fatal allergy.

Editor: No, I don’t hate smokers, it is their smoking habit that offends.

A filthy habit you say, what do you say when you see a fatso cramming another burger into his mouth?

Editor: They too are engaging in self-harm. They are entitled to help when they recognise their problem. Just like smokers they are offered public health education to help them correct their problem.

Cigarettes cause heart attacks you say … what about all the consumption of alcohol? Alcohol leads to high blood pressure, high blood pressure leads to heart attack. Yet all the LCBO’s are doing golden business.

Editor: Excessive alcohol consumption is also a form of self-harm and leads to disease. It ranks right alongside smoking really because, as you rightly point out below, under the influence of alcohol, drinkers also cause harm to others.

Have another glass of beer or wine, then step in your car and kill someone or go home and beat up your spouse.

Nobody says anything about that.

You should thank the smokers for smoking. If it weren’t for them, the state coffers would have a whole lot less money. Do you know how much taxes cigarettes generate … billions. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Editor: No, I don’t thank smokers for anything. They represent one of the largest drains on health budgets. Tobacco taxes should be dramatically increased.

I have zero tolerance for non smokers. I dated a guy recently and when I found out he was a non smoker I dumped him. I don’t even talk to non smokers.

Editor: That guy sounds pretty smart and it turns out he was lucky too.

Let anyone say to my face that I have a filthy habit and I’ll knock him on his ass. I pay taxes, my smoking peers pay taxes, so shut the **** up.

Editor: Yes, you do have a filthy habit. That habit harms others too so I’m not surprised to see that you are a physically aggressive person.

The cancer society robs people blind with their lies. I work for them so I know. They have a revenue of $4,3 BILLION per year and they invest it in real estate.

Editor: If you have evidence of theft then contact the police. Otherwise you simply sound more foolish.

Smoking doesn’t cause cancer my dear, cancer is a business not an illness.
There is a cure for cancer, but the cancer society hushes it up. If the cure is made public, they will go out of business and imagine that happening. No more money to waste. Oh my.

Editor: Finally, something we almost agree on. Yes, cancer is also a business and plenty of people make a lot of money from it. I find that both wrong and sad. If you have any constructive suggestions then please share them.

Now go and have another drink, and stuff yourself some more.
If you keel over from a heart attack blame it on second hand smoke.

Editor: Yes, I know you are angry and are verbally lashing out. You should consider seeking some help.

You make me sick!!!!!!!!!

Editor: No, don’t blame me or others. You are making yourself sick and you know the best thing you can do about changing that already.
