Grim Squeaker:

It’s too bad that you will most likely never see my response.

I agree with your point, and I wonder what you think about the current efforts to keep everyone from contracting the Chinese Plague.

I kind of have to wonder if there’s really any point in worrying to much about cancer.

Man’s already gone pretty far with things like medical science and food safety and such. Eradicate one leading cause of death, stretch out life expectancy past the point where the body starts falling apart, and people still have to die of something.

So what’s the plan? Keep weeding out causes of death and putting the inevitable off further and further? Find out just how badly a body can decay without dieing?

Yes I know cancer and death and stuff always sucks. But death will always be part of life. If not one thing then another.

I can’t stand people who can’t stand smokers.
My life is all about sticking with the smokers of this world.

Sorry Crick.. but that comment was too funny.. I know its wrong, but.. "I guess he took a one-two punch.. cigs and asbestos. I miss ya Pop" (LOL)..

My favorite quote on smoking made by Dick Solomon (John Lithgow ) in an episode of Third Rock From The Sun:

"Yes, yes, I know that smoking takes ten years off your life; but that's at the end of your life and those years are crappy anyway." LOL

As for the Splenda argument... Its pretty well known that it has a laxative effect in many people. I've personally known people get hives from it. They know that the chlorine molecules dont always stay attached to the sugar. Ever hear of chlorine gas? And how its deadly? And that free radicals are bad when they're in your body? And that it hasnt been tested on kids, but its marketed to them and their parents?

Nice.

At least with other fake sugars, you know what you're getting.

(of course, I'm one of those hippies that likes my real butter and my real sugar and my meat sans-hormones and antibiotics. in moderation, of course.)

In Australia, a large (almost half, don't quote me on this) amout of health funing goes towards patients with smoking related diseases. Stopping production can only be positive. Nicotine is a good start to other, harsher drugs. If we beat nicotine addiction before it transforms into other drugs, the world can only be a better place."

umm then we can censor everything that causes bad thoughts and get rid of all the silly religons too. Yay for big brother.

You can already purchase soda sweetened with Splenda, instead of aspartame. I've been advocating that for a while, although I never understood why people would drink aspartame over sugar. Haven't we known how bad it is for quite some time now? As for cigarettes, I can't remember if it was on this blog, but I remember hearing someone comment, "Smoking is a perfectly valid lifestyle choice, for those who accept their effects." At this point in time, where we know the effects of smoking, and someone still takes the habit on, then there's nothing more to be said. It's no different than someone taking on a lifestyle of high-altitude skydiving, professional driving, any sort of job or lifestyle that has risks associated with it. As for cigarette smoking leading to hard drug use? That's pretty hard to buy. I see that train of thought as introduced to try to fight marijuana. I know so many people who smoke pot, who have never tried anything harder."

If you have diabetes sugar will kill you much faster then aspertame, and splenda is made with sugar so I don't think it would be any better.
