The USA Today, one of mainstream media’s purveyors of panic, ran an article yesterday in which Surgeon General Regina Benjamin is quoted as saying, "One cigarette can cause a heart attack." What a load.
I don’t smoke, I hate smokers who think my road is their ashtray, and, counter to my libertarian tendencies, I favor the recent smoking ban. The hyperbole coming from the nation's chief medical officer who holds BS, MD and MBA degrees, however, is simply ridiculous.
