To all the ladies that smoke!


featherish said: "Thanks for that article. Flavoring cigarettes sounds like a way to lure kids to smoke, too."

featherish said: "They have. Things have changed a lot over the years though. I remember back when I was a kid you used to be able to go into a store with a note from your mother that "gave permission" for the clerk to sell you cigarettes. I think it's weird that they pay for campaigns to discourage people from smoking. If nothing else, people can't say "I didn't know" when they get some smoking related disease."

Heather said: "No problem. I just thought like it sounded like an evil plan to get target women. Adding food flavors to promote products like cigarettes is truly evil :eek: Phillip Morris also owns Kraft foods, one of the biggest food manufacturers in America. I have always wondered about the ethics of their company, and what they would be willing to do to get consumers addicted to food products as well?"

Like that'll even make it taste any better. :P Seriously, quitting smoking is probably one of the best health moves you can make. Even if you gain a few pounds quitting, it's completely worth it."
