Some of the kids interviewed in this story need to read "Who Moved My Cheese". I read the article in "The Norman Transcript" today and got the impression that in spite of the inconvenience the glass is more than half full. When I read this story in the "Daily" I couldn't tell there had ever been anything in the glass. Just goes to show that beauty (or a pain in the behind) is in the eyes of the beholder.

This tells me the product placement campaign (i.e. propaganda) of the tobacco industry continues to be effective.
If for the last 90 years we only saw cigarettes hanging off the lips of old, sickly, wrinkled smokers we would have a different opinion of smokers and smoking. However, for the same 90 years the tobacco industry has made a point to position these killers in the hands of the sexiest, strongest, most glamorous stars in Hollywood.
As a result of this propaganda we prematurely lost many of the stars who became addicted to the cigarettes the tobacco industry provided as "props" on screen.
The tobacco industry continues to get rich, while smokers and their families continue to pay the price with health care issues and lives cut short.
