RIP Judge Kessler, her 1,000-page decision buried tobacco industry in detailed findings, upheld on appeal, put end to fraudulent denial about its harm

She’s a hero. RIP, Your Honor.

Judge Gladys Kessler dies at 85, ruled big tobacco “marketed and sold their lethal product with zeal, with deception, with a single-minded focus on their financial success, and without regard for the human tragedy or social costs that success exacted.”

People with principle and courage, we could definitely use more of such people today as the West flails. RIP

But pot smoke is health smoke.

It was hardly earthshaking news, cigarettes were known as "coffin nails" since the 19th century.

It wasn't due to their healthiness.

Judge Kessler only acknowledged what the 3 stooges knew in the 1930's.

The hand-to-mouth obsessive-compulsive gesture linked to the devouring drive is like religious genuflecting, regardless of the chemical addiction. In your case, only the balls it takes of going cold-turkey will likely suffice.
