Although I can’t say I am a big fan of English musician Joe Jackson (as a matter of fact I had never heard of him until this week), he has written an interesting article about the science and politics behind tobacco which was reprinted in the Winter 2007 issue of Cigar Magazine. Jackson makes some downright silly logical errors in his argument and as is typical in today’s culture he takes shots at evangelical Christians all the while supporting the rights of everyone else. Still, the article has some very interesting data in it, and presents a case that is strangely parallel to the issues that surround the debate over firearms and their place in society. You can download the rather lengthy article (including source information) from Joe Jackson’s website.
