APPENDIX A
Of Carriers, Collaborators
Because of its interest as an indication of not only the nit-picking detail work of the anti-tobacco forces, but the mean-mindedness of certain anti-tobacco fanatics in ferreting out even the slightest association with tobacco, this item, from the Tobacco BBS, is presented here in its entirety.

************
Ads and collaborative promotions not only buy journalistic silence, but innocence-through-association. Their very ubiquity across such a broad societal spectrum buys acceptance, and even tacit approval.
One anti-tobacco website carries an item -- An Ad-erage Day in the Life of a Kid. Who disregards the health consequences of tobacco to assist in the addiction of a generation?
"I figure if it's really so bad for you, they wouldn't be selling them everywhere. I mean, you walk into Stop 'N' Go, and there's a whole wall of them right up front at the cash register. If they were really *that* bad for you, they'd make them less accessible."
--18-year-old smoker, "Young, Carefree and in Love With Cigarettes," The New York Times, July 30, 1995
