Sidenote: I saw an amazing comment on NPR's Health Blog and the best part about it was one of the comments that I saw under the article. I'm so happy I took the time to read the comments, I love getting the viewpoints of other people and...when it comes to this viewpoint I couldn't agree more:
It's funny... smoking is not nearly as popular in the US as it is in other parts of the world (like Europe) and yet we spend all of our energy on anti-smoking campaigns. The real health threat in the United States is the "food" we eat. The packaged, processed, preservative-laden, artificially flavored and artificially colored food. It kills us just as effectively as cigarettes. You become obese, get diabetes, heart disease, and then spend the rest of your life in and out of Kaiser Permanente yelling at the pharmacists from your motorized wheelchair because your meds are not ready yet. People don't even think that when they eat a bag of Cheetos they're just filling themselves with Yellow #6 and monosodium glutamate. And then they think they're being healthy when they eat Lean Cuisine for dinner. It's so sad. Personally, I feel this is why cancer is so unavoidable now. We eat fake stuff, and cover our bodies with products that contain known carcinogens. To call Big Tobacco the villain is just pure ignorance.
