Cigarette Wars

Anyone see this on CNBC? I'm watching it right now. Decent documentary. Very very anti tobacco though. They haven't touched on smokeless yet. Don't know if they will.

I don't have TV, but I'm not sure I'd watch it anyway. Anti tobacco zealotry makes me angry anymore, and I can only watch that kind of thing for a very short while. I wish I was rich. I'd produce my own pro tobacco history pieces. I'd mention every positive contribution tobacco's ever made to civilization, but not a single peep on the negatives; excluding of course the egregious taxes, and discrimination against it's underrepresented users. My goal would be to have tons of hate mail coming in from all the nancies in the country. I'd then gather up a group of people; maybe some of you? and protest in front of the nancies houses :^D

It would be great to post the nancies letters online, to laugh at.

Michael Bloomberg, mayor of New York says the tobacco farmers need to find new work and grow something that doesn't kill people in this documentary. This just in, Mike: Go **** yourself.

They did mention the ban that Canada enacted on "flavored" cigarettes. They said 200 countries have vowed to follow their lead since "flavored cigarettes lead to youth smoking" Do they have any idea how F**king stupid that sounds?

It was interesting but very anti, almost extremist. That older guy with the grey beard was a nut, as was that Truth(?) woman. Personally while watching this, an idea came into mind, it seems in the same way/time that cigarette smoking has decreased, obesity/diabetes has increased. And the rise in cancer rates only really happened after nuclear detonations. But the show was pure propaganda, but what can one expect from the Communist News Broadcasting Center.

[precious007]

yeah, you should put it on a DVD or share it on a video sharing site... :^)

[tom502]

I'd guess it might end up on youtube.

I watched this on a airplane last night without sound. It looks like everything I thought they were saying, they were saying. Especially the guy with the beard.

[precious007]

Especially the guy with the beard.

the guy with beard was a pipe smoker for sure loool

That clown at the end(I forget who he was some politician) actually came right out and said "smokers are stupid". It has bcome completely alright to make statements like that. WTF
