I couldn't find an email address for the jerk, Carl Phillips, that did the "study". So I sent the following email to Jodie Sinnema, who wrote the article about the study in the Edmonton Journal.

Dear Jodie,

I wonder if you can ask Carl Phillips if he ever saw a person who had cancer from chewing tobacco. It's not a pretty sight.

1.5 million dollars from the makers of chewing tobacco to fund his work. Come on, who does he think he's kidding? The money had no influence on his work!

Sincerely,

Jerry Wilck (dentist & oral cancer survivor)

It probably won't accomplish anything, but it made me feel better.

Jerry
