Link to what?

Cigarettes and cancer. The young lady who posted earlier has a terrific goal - I just like to remind people that cancer's the sickness, not cigarettes.

I see. However, I'd still advise avoiding anything rumored to be carcinogenic. But then - I know what it is like to suffer from cancer.

That's awful - it's a devastating disease. My condolences.

And yes, we here at the Institute for Tobacco Studies believe that people should use caution as well as choice. We want our customers to stay healthy, happy, and living - dead people don't smoke, after all!

If you want them to stay happy, healthy and living... perhaps it's better that they avoid smoking.

That's the problem; there're a lot of things out there that can kill you.

It's up to you, me, and every individual out there to make an informed decision for ourselves. It's all about choices. We can all agree that freedom is one of the most precious things we have.

ooc: I'd like to note that I'm violently anti-smoking, but...hey, wait, I'm sure you're anti-murder - I hope. :D

Yes, there are a lot of things that can kill you. A lot, indeed...

*wonders if this man should... play a game*

OOC: I understand. Muse opinion =/= mun opinion! And yes, the mun is happy to admit she is completely anti-murder! *grin* *thwaps muse, who is still protesting that he has never killed anyone*

Exactly. After all, since you said you're avoiding carcinogens - a very wise choice, I think, given your medical history - you're not eating grilled meat, right? You sound like you've done your research. You probably know the one that surprised me - peanut butter! Who knew we needed warning labels on Skippy?

No, no grilled meat for me. My doctor advises me against it...

...peanut butter? I haven't heard about that one.

The lab guys tell me that aspergillus flavusis an example of a potent, naturally-occurring microbial carcinogen found on stored grains and peanut butter. Amazing, isn't it?

And you don't have to tell me how bad fried carbs are - cholesterol, calories, AND acrylamide? How about a little death with those fries, am I right?

Very interesting. You seem to have done a lot of research.

That's what we do here. It would be irresponsible not to.

Indeed. *looks thoughtful*

ooc: Oh, please, don't kill Nick! :D He does get his in the film.

OOC: No worries, John won't be putting anyone in a trap that their muns don't want that happening to! Plenty of time for him to escape, LOL!

No clear link... where?

The Institute for Tobacco Studies has an ongoing study to try and find a formal link between cigarettes and cancer. Although we're constantly evaluating our findings, we've been unable to find any definite proof.

B'tween what, sugar?

ooc: So.much.love

Cigarettes and cancer - plus, it's still a free country, and this is still one of the choices available to you, so you can enjoy your freedom every time you choose to light up.

*giggles* Ya sure are a good salesman, sugar. Good thing I smoke lights.

Enjoy what?

A cigarette, if you're so inclined.

...is this a trick? ARE YOU A DARE COP?

And what is it I'm enjoying exactly?

OMFG I LOVE YOU!!!! lol

Freedom! Choice! And if you choose, a cigarette!

Thank you! Watch this space for other M.O.D.s as soon as I talk people into it. I want to buy everyone who made this movie a drink.
