This is the Conversation Forum for Tobacco Smoke Solutions :) >> Subject: Smoking Gun Posted May 15, 2003 by Pimms Lettuce   Posting 1 Excellent entry. The only disappointment was I couldn't spot any typos, unless you count the acceptable, but odd, use of 'contract' in the section on Light Cigarettes: "smokers contract twice the amount of tar and nicotine from 'low-tar' cigarettes than was previously believed" - 'receive' or 'absorb' might be more familiar verbs to use.

Otherwise, good entry Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Smoking Gun Posted May 16, 2003 by Chris Morris This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 3 Today's news includes an item on research, sponsored by the tobacco industry, that shows passive smoking to be harmless. This will, of course, make me feel much better the next time I have to sit next to someone ignoring the No Smoking signs on the bus.
