BAN PANTS

[SpencerForHire]

So I think that this is possibly one of the worst cases of research ever:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20070618/sc_livescience/studylinkscandycigarettestosmoking

Spoiler:  22% of people who smoke have had candy cigarettes..

Why do I find this funny?

Reason:  There is none of the following information..
% of people who eat candy cigarettes that have started smoking since.
And while we are at it.. % of people who chewed gum as a kid who smoke now.
Lastly while we're on the ball.. What % of people who smoke now used to wear pants as a child..

Conclusion:  Wearing pants in your youth inspires smoking.

BAN PANTS!

Cigarettes, candy or otherwise, are for idiots.  Childhood should be about snorting powdered sugar and pretending it's cocaine.
