Gates and Bloomberg give 500 MILLION to Anti-Smoking
From the article...

It will urge governments to sharply raise tobacco taxes, prohibit smoking in public places, outlaw advertising to children and cigarette giveaways, start antismoking advertising campaigns and offer people nicotine patches or other help quitting. Health officials, consumer advocates, journalists, tax officers and others from third world countries will be brought to the United States for workshops on topics like lobbying, public service advertising, catching cigarette smugglers and running telephone help lines for smokers wanting to quit. A list of grants is at tobaccocontrolgrants.org.

The whole article from NY Times...

I think we need someone to start a fund for the anti-windows movement. As far as bloomberg goes....he's a jackass. Always has been, always will be.

As long as these efforts stay towards eliminating cigarettes, who am I kidding most of these dumb@$$es lump all tobacco products together into one big mess.

Wiser words have not been spoken. Buy some 120 quart coolers and buy bundle after bundle.

People feeling their morality is higher than that of anyone else. Not being a religious person myself, but isn't there a line "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"?

Honest question here. Is it really going to come to this? If I have to stockpile I'm going to be in trouble.
