<p>&quot;Pamela McColl, 54, of Vancouver, an anti-smoking advocate, decided the jolly gent described in the classic A Visit From Saint Nicholas (better known as &rsquo;Twas The Night Before Christmas), written by Clement Clarke Moore 190 years ago, needed cleaning up lest he poison the minds of youngsters because of his filthy nicotine addiction, to wit: &ldquo;The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.&rdquo;<br />

The North Charleston City Council voted against a smoking ban.&nbsp;&nbsp; They feel that people can make their own decision on where they eat and drink. Listen to Rhonda Jerome of North Charleston City Council…..she has a sensible approach to governing.<br type="_moz" />

DRINKING and SMOKING may save you from a blood cancer: the myeloma.<br />
<br />
After years of brain-washing propaganda – encouraged and commended by nanny States all over the civilized world – teetotalers and anti-smokers, as well as drinkers and smokers, will certainly be flabbergasted&nbsp; upon learning that the combination of smoking and drinking appears to reduce the risk of multiple myeloma, with most of the effect coming from alcohol consumption. <br />

It was conducted by Gabriella Andreotti, PhD, of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md., and was reported on by &quot;MedPage Today&quot;. <br />
<br />
Andreotti and colleagues examined the joint effects of alcohol and smoking on myeloma risk. <br />
Participants who smoked and drank had 30% lower odds for myeloma than participants who did neither. <br />
Former smokers had a myeloma risk similar to that of never smokers. That is: don’t quit smoking if you are afraid of getting a myeloma ;-). They don’t say it, but I suppose that the same thing happens if a drinker stops drinking.<br />

Personally I don’t know what to think about this news, except for the fact that, lately, the medical literature is ‘daring’ to publish studies that absolve the tobacco smoke from being the cause of this or that disease. In spite of the Antis.<br />
