Gee, when were you young, when all the dangers were known about tobacco?  You
don't deserve a feather in your cap for knowing something that everyone else
also knew.  When I was young, they just began to suspect that tobacco might
be linked to this or that disease.  Almost every smoked then, 65,000,000 to
be exact.  Unfortunately, there are still over 30,000,000 smokers in spite of
all the dangers.
