On getting a sense of priorities

In the last ten years, smoking has killed 4,000,000 Americans. Traffic has killed 400,000. Terrorism has killed 4,000.

Well, it's a start. See, I'd like to see a Jack Womack-style campaign of intensive worldwide advertising, promoting how smoking makes you look cool, sexy and sophisticated and enhances your appeal to the opposite sex. How it makes kids look older, adults look younger and everyone look more like a 1930s movie star.

Couple this with intensive taxation and exemption from free medical treatment for smoking-related diseases.

Bosh, self-administered population growth control! And not only that, smarter people are less likely to be suckered by it! More dumb people die!
