    Good to see some small confirmation, in this propaganda evaluation report, of what has been suspected for quite some time - that the anti-smoker campaign is failing despite $billions being spent to maintain it.

    There has been a recent ominous increase in anti-smoker propaganda - always a good indicator of a failure to maintain the planned 'perceptions'. Noticeable too is an increased urgency in fast-forwarding anti-smoker planned coercive ordinances. This suggest that there are fears, within the anti-smoker prohibition industry, that the whole shebang is about to collapse. Let's hope this happens sooner rather than later so less damage and injury is caused by them.

    Some parts of your report need clarification: In the First line we see that "About 3 out of 4 Americans agree (ergo 1 in 4 Americans DO NOT agree) that smoking cigarettes causes health problems"  but later; "the number of who said it posed no risk increased, jumping from 1.45 percent to 2.63 percent over the 10-year span." So is it 25% or 2.63% or is 2.63% an increase over the 1 in 4 who don't agree with the propaganda? I'm sure there will be a simple explanation, but it isn't clear here.

    Given the evidence that is coming to light that supports the position that smoking could actually be BENEFICIAL to health and cognitive ability, one ominous but unsurprising omission is any question of how many people agree with this. The question, for anti-smoker propagandists of course, is never whether smoking may be beneficial or not but to maintain the illusion that smoking is bad - any discussion should always be limited as to just how bad. The public should not be allowed to even think about the possibility that smoking may NOT be bad. That is why the question is not asked, and another reason why the public should be wary about anything claimed by the anti-smoker prohibition industry.

    Simple explanation as to why the anti-smoker campaign is failing - You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time!
