Another reason to cut the cancer sticks
An alarming new report shows that the battle against smoking is far from over. If you’re a smoker, a new study should alarm you — big time. The study, published in the journal BMC Public Health, found that there are some 4,800 chemicals in cigarette smoke — many of them being carcinogens — but most people who are smokers have no clue what they’re inhaling, according to a Biomed Central statement. The study argues that more information should be available to consumers about what’s in cigarette smoke to help them understand the true dangers of smoking. However, right now that’s not available to people, which is a big concern to health officials. And I'm sure Big Tobacco have a good reason to keep it that way - there's money to be had in their poison.

Another raspberry bury in the air
A onetime business associate of Prince’s who ran the music star’s downtown Minneapolis nightclub in the 1990s was found dead over the weekend in his Minnetonka home. The associate, 48-year-old Paul Pudlitzke, was cold to the touch when emergency responders arrived at his house in the 5100 block of Woodhill Road about 8:30 a.m. local time Saturday, according to police dispatch communication. The person who called authorities to the scene told law enforcement that Pudlitzke had been using illicit drugs the previous night, the dispatches noted. Police have released only the sparest of information, saying Sunday morning that officers arrived to find a man not breathing and that he was dead in the home. Pudlitzke’s death comes nearly two months after Prince died at Paisley Park in Chanhassen from an accidental overdose of a potent opiate painkiller. This is why people shouldn't do drugs.

Sanders not backing Killary Clin$anto
Bernie Sanders has declined to endorse Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, saying that he would continue to push for a "fundamental transformation" of the party up until its convention next month in Philadelphia. "The American people are hurting, and they are hurting badly," Sanders said during a news conference outside his Washington campaign office near Capitol Hill. "They want real change, not the same old, same old." Sanders' comments came as voters in the District of Columbia were casting the final ballots of the long Democratic nominating contest, and as Sanders and Clinton were preparing for a highly anticipated meeting Tuesday night to discuss the party's agenda heading into the fall election against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump. Here's an idea for real change: the nominees should watch the new Michael Moore documentary Where to Invade Next, and look at implementing the ideas Moore discussed, especially the way Norway runs its prison system.

Here's an excuse to curb your enthusiasm
Making good on years of tentative "we'll sees" from both the creator and network, Curb Your Enthusiasm will indeed return to HBO. The network on Tuesday announced a ninth season for the beloved Larry David comedy, though a formal return date was not included. Curb Your Enthusiasm last aired an original episode in September 2011, and the nearly five-year gap since has seen neither HBO nor David ready to publicly dismiss the idea of revisiting the show. On the network end, former programming president Michael Lombardo had said he was "cautiously optimistic" about more Curb — while David, in keeping with his schtick, often appeared less than optimistic in the many instances he's been pressed about the subject. On his decision to revisit his alter ego, David had this to say: “In the immortal words of Julius Caesar, ‘I left, I did nothing, I returned.’” And in the immortal words of network execs all throughout television land, let there be crap.

THE BIG REVIEW: The lengths smokers will go to just to pump more cancer into their lungs
Three men armed with a firearm and a sword have robbed a Dunedin petrol station. Police said the men entered a petrol station in Hillside Rd, Forbury, about 1.50am on Monday. The men, who wore black clothing and had their faces covered, stole cash and tobacco. No one was injured, but come on. First fags getting shot at a nightclub, and now fags being stolen from a dairy. This sort of thing is why tobacco should be banned instead of just raising taxes. If Bhutan is able to say no to that evil poison, why can't the rest of us?
