MSN.com article on the dangers of cigar smoking

[NCRadioMan]

That is an editorial, passed off as "news". Typical of MSN. Blah blah blah..........

The only fact cited:

A Journal of Exposure Analysis and Environmental Epidemiology study found higher levels of the toxin carbon monoxide at two cigar social events in San Francisco than on a busy California freeway.

Big deal.

I wonder how much actual NEWS we are exposed to each day through traditional outlets.

The way I see it, smoking cigars is adding at least 10 years to my life. Being Italian, I'm a bit high strung and cigars help calm me down a bit, not to mention, keeping me from hurting others around me. So as you see, it prolongs their life as well.
Everything in life has some risk, besides, how am I going to get to heaven if I don't die??

I wrote better stories than that in high school, that's not even good enough writing to be Bush League

there's a reason it's on MSN and not on a reputable info source
