While we thought we'd come
a long way from WWII when
GI's were issued packs of
cigarettes with their gear, the
Editors at Bloombergview.com
found that some in Congress
are still fighting for a soldier's
right to smoke, as well as cheap
and easy access. About one in
four service people smoke,
about 7% over the national
average. RTS understands why
a soldier would want to smoke;
but does not encourage the
habit, regardless of the situation.
There are other ways to chill the
stress.
Thank you to our friends at
the Campaign for Tobacco
Free Kids for bringing this
article to our attention.
