Wow, Doug, an aha moment for me. I need to pay attention more to articles etc about bc and indeed post comments. I did do a blogged article discussing the fact that a small cigarette company here in FLA USA isn't being held to the same standards as the larger companies that were included in the successful lawsuit that allows FLA to do commericals that are anti smoking. They are very effective. My part was really small in the big picture but the company is not having to pay into the fund that all other cigarette companies are required to. As a result they sell a large portion of cigarettes in this state and perhaps others since they are a lot less expensive. When I received the article for my own touches I told the people who asked me to write that I would do this under the condition I can add a part about how bc is a direct result often of smoking cigarettes. I know that not ALL BC is caused by smoking but...
I also have maybe become a thorn in the sides of smokers when I ask them if they knew BC is a direct result of smoking. They are shocked to learn this and then I discuss with them how BC is often treated. Not sure if any have stopped but it seems to my untrained eyes more and more younger people seem to be smoking more often these days. Sad with all the knowledge we didn't have years ago. I will now step off my soap box.
