EU left and right all agree against Blair for President

Oct 30, 2009

Scientists now looking at third hand smoke

Feb 10, 2010
If you are a smoker, what do you do? It's not that you don't already know the health risks, and if you haven't quit it's highly likely that it's because quitting is too difficult. Smokers probably already know that smoking around kids is bad, but now...
