In order to change momentum, we as smokers do need to realize that just as they lie about SHS, they lie through their teeth about tobacco being harmful.
It's very important to start spreading knowledge to smokers and non-smokers. This is the main reason they get away with everything because everyone is convinced it's harmful.
-Tobacco prevents Alzheimer's
