So dogman if a person has two carwrecks or two bigmacs should they be denied insurance. Should we give parents who give their children french fries out of the deepfryer forty lashings on town square. You are not lifes teacher, life is. Your freedom is a gift that this smoker fought for as well as many others are doing.

No smoking is not the best idea and smoking around our children is selfish. Cancer as well as many other diseases are costing our nation a boatload of money. All we really know about are risk factors aside from the new HPV findings. Sunburns raise the risk for cancer too and I assure you that many of those who get them had nothing to do with the depletion of the protective layer that we used to have. So awareness and lifestyle changes will help. Adaptation to new problems will help. Hope and compassion will help. Anger, disrespect (especially to those who have openly had compassion toward you plight), and judgement will only cause us to waste time, when we could be carrying a good message of information to those who need it.
