I'm going to get flamed for saying this but "Anything that helps dissuade people from smoking nomatter how small the effect is a good thing."

Smokers will of course argue "I have the right to smoke !" where I will argue "Those of us who don't smoke have a right not to breathe your smoke !"

I never understood smoking in the first place. It tastes terrible and not only that.. it's poison.
It's like saying "Here's a box of poison. It won't kill you right away, but it will kill you slowly over a long period of time and usually in a horrific way." and people are like "Oh ! That sounds cool ! I'll take two boxes !"
I saw my uncle die of emphazima from smoking and I have another reletive going down the same road. It's not pretty. Healthcare for smokers costs healthcare organisations and governments BILLIONS each year. Therefore, I would support ANYTHING that would help prevent that poison from being used or propogated.
