No, I'd be interested in knowing why you say that.

Validity?

I'm not trying to be an ass, but saying, "there is no safe use of tobacco products," is just not factual.

I'm completely comfortable calling bullshit on that.

I think most allopaths would disagree with you. Homeopathy's another thing but, of course, that's pretty controversial as a whole.

OK, Zeke. How about "There are no peer-reviewed, published studies and subsequent FDA approvals for the therapeutic use of cigarettes, cigars and other forms of smoked tobacco?"

Does that float your boat?

This really is how I feel. And I'm a Dude who has an occasional cigar. But, when I do, I sit outside.

Gotta agree with Rob here. And with the switch to "fire safe" smokes, the hazards have increased ten fold. Nothing like them, watching out for us.

It's the old scary saw - 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.'

Not so old. Reagan said it in the '80s (when he was the government). Also, not so scary unless it's someone like Brownie saying it.
