No one really " knows for sure" the extent to which heavy smoking affects health either. So, whatever you do, don't take any Chicken Little measures that might affect the tobacco companies' profit margins.  |
Some of the proposals that have been given have the potential to virtually destroy industrial civilization as we know it. Given the previous positions of many environmentalists, that may well be their goal.
I don't accept that goal nor accept the justification to use force and violence through government activity to destroy civilization as we know it.
Or even to curtail the entire world's economy. Please see my "at any cost" thread for further discussion on this subject.
