    Another ill-informed commentary

    This one from a blog:

    Tobacco companies stink!
    I'm on a rant. Deal with it!

    Did you see the Camel ads in today's paper? They're cute and contain an free tin of their new Camel Snus, a smokeless tobacco. This is what the ad says in it.
    What is Snus?
    Snus is...
    ...a tasty fresh tobacco pleasure that originated in Sweden
    ....smokeless (does not require spitting) and comes in a pouch
    ....pretty much limitless.
    A New WAY to enjoy tobacco.
    Look for Camel Snus in its specially designated Snus refrigerator.
    ------------------------------
    HOW TO SNUS
    The ridiculously easy instructions...
    1. Tuck between your upper lip and gum.
    2. Tingle- feel the pleasure in 5 minutes.
    3. Taste up to 30 minutes.
    ------------------------------------
    PICTURE Yourself...
    ....stuck in the center seat 44B of an airplane.
    You can mope, or you can Snus. (it's THAT good)
    --------------------------------------
    Camel Snus comes in 3 tasty varieties and 20 pouches to a tin.
    It's possible to Snus virtually anywhere! (So venture forth and explore.)
    The freshest Snus is in the Snus fridge of your nearest retailer!
    Use this free coupon to experience pleasure for wherever!
    The possibilities of the Camel Snus are limitless so check the website often.
    WARNING: This product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes.

    It's truly gross; I hope you all see the ad because the design makes it very inviting. No mention that it's going to kill you! If you care to share your opinion or mine with them, here's their address:

    R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company

    I had a crazy old aging hipster AP Chem teacher in high school that LOVED to tear into these types of people. He would always say that next they are going to tell us that "water causes cancer."

    I am really tired of truth.org and the likes with their over inflation of of tobacco related death statistics and people who take their BS to heart as the real truth. /ends rant, puts in a portion

      These are the same people who think nothing of driving around in their car belching out carcinogens, then eating their pesticide filled dinners. It would seem that as smoking declines, cancers are still on the rise. Why is that do you suppose?

        Because the Ministry of Truth tells us what we should know.

          what a douchebag.

          "No mention that it's going to kill you!"

          2 lines below this:

          "WARNING: This product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes."

          are you BLIND?!

          the fact there's a WARNING saying 'not a SAFE..' should be enough to shut this twat the hell up!

          and just because it isn't a SAFE alternative, does NOT mean it isn't a safER alternative to cigarettes or entail that it will kill you. because there's no substantial evidence for it being as bad as cigarettes.

          so that's a double whammy.

          I'll 'deal' with ranting when I see colorful language and anger expressed, so long as there is a shred of logic supporting it!!
