Let's Work on Safe Cigarettes

I have a problem that I hope other readers can help me with. It seems that when giving small children cigarettes there is a good chance of them getting burned by the hot tip. Is there some way to have them smoke safely, or can cigarettes be redesigned to help eliminate this problem?

This may sound absurd, but it is no more absurd than the recent coverage over what to do about hot dogs. Processed meats have been linked to obesity, high blood pressure, cancer, heart disease and various other illnesses. Is it really better for a person to die in their forties from heart disease or colon cancer, rather than lung cancer? Here's a thought, instead of focusing on how we can get children started on a lifetime of unhealthy eating habits without having them choke to death immediately, let's focus on ways to bring healthy foods into their diets.

Many of the main stresses on our health care system today are chronic, lifelong diseases that are related to lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise. We need to start children on the path to healthy eating when they are young. Hopefully in the future we will see articles on how to feed children a healthy diet, and not the best ways to give them unhealthy food.
