>But here is the one thing I'll never understand about smoking. Many in their 50's and 60's (and up) say things to the effect that "when I started smoking, we didn't know about all the health dangers of smoking". I don't understand why it would take a report from Doc General to generally conclude that lighting something up, inhaling it, and then exhaling smoke would be dangerous to your health.

FWIW, IIRC, the cigarette companies used to advertise about how good cigarettes were for you.
