Throughout the years that I've been smoking, and in fact well before that, I've known smokers who smoke maybe 2 or 3 a day, and others who only smoke in certain circumstances. I myself have been awake for 14 hours today and I can't say I've had more than 2. How do you explain that?I work 12 hour shifts in the ER and am in a lot of contact with people with all kinds of flu and other illnesses. I've not gotten sick once (even before I got a swine flu vax).
People's bodies do not respond the exact same way in all circumstances. The fact of the matter is that cigarettes are addictive, and deliberately so, and withholding information, knowing full well they are harmful.
At any rate, Phillip Morris et al were found guilty by a federal court. The evidence is there.
