Rush Limbaugh on the dangers of smoking:
"That is a myth. That has been disproven at the World Health Organization and the report was suppressed. There is no fatality whatsoever. There's no even major sickness component associated with secondhand smoke. It may irritate you, and you may not like it, but it will not make you sick, and it will not kill you...Firsthand smoke takes 50 years to kill people, if it does. Not everybody that smokes gets cancer. Now, it's true that everybody who smokes dies, but so does everyone who eats carrots ... I would like a medal for smoking cigars, is what I'm saying."
When Bill Clinton (under the advise of Dick Morris and Mark Penn) argued that the FDA should be able to regulate tobacco as a “drug”, Limbaugh, Bob Dole, and McConnelll opposed this. Who was Dole’s Convention Manager? Paul Manafort.
