    So smoke, dumbass. Smoke all damn day.
    Eat a lot of HFCS while you are at it.
    But don't be a ***** and argue against programs that are saving lives.
    Oh, that's right. It probably didn't benefit you directly, so it's valueless.

    "Through leadership, experience and research, CTCP empowers statewide and local health agencies to promote health and quality of life by advocating social norms that create a tobacco-free environment."

    In other words.

    Socialist engineering on a grand scale.
