Tired Uvit wrote: It would seem if people would quit attempting to force smokers to quit there would be no withdrawal issues. Having a drug company defend their product is like the tobacco companies defending theirs. "What can we say that will make us the most money?" It would seem that if people did not start smoking in the first place there would be no withdrawal issues. Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. Nicotine is NOT...

You need to be able to weigh the risks versus the benefits. I guess I really have a hard time seeing how someone with a BAC of .24 is representative of any behavior on any drug. The guy was drunk. Drunks get shot all of the time. They do other...

Nicotine is NOT addictive, so there is no withdrawal. Smokers are morons. Well, they did, so there is. And if it is, there is. Smokers are morons to antis. Not always to normal people.

Why does everyone get upset when I point out that most drunks,degenerates and other lowlife are smokers? I have never once said all smokers are degenerates,drunks or lowlife. There is however one group that includes all smokers,that's the"Smoker Class".

How is it selfish to "knock" a drug that has enough problems to get the FBI involved in an investigation? If smokers want to quit smoking, then they should just do it. FDA not FBI
