Then please explain why the tobbaco giants spend so much on
their advertising/sponsorship campagns. And remember, the only anonymous
donor is the guy who knocks up your daughter.

I am envisaging an ever growing percentage of tobbaco victims
turning to murder, I think this makes a difference to your argument.

The hoi poloi of course.

I disagree. There arent all that many people involved in the pro
tobbaco memetic campagn. Certainly far less than there are tobacco
victims. The extra cost would quicken the demise of the tobacco meme
significantly.

Who says just a few, if thr virtuous killing virus replicates it
will be a significant number, proportional to the no. of tobbaco
victims.

I gave up smoking so I could spend the money I saved
on better, less adictive, safer drugs.
