The surgeon general should ask for a donation from the many-splendored Warren Buffett. This would give Buffett the opportunity for a little synegy with the, ah, killing he made from his earlier investment in cigarettes.
In truth, the S.G. is being a bit shrill here (B. De Long, please take note). I think if I reach advanced old age I may just take up cigarettes again, and everyone else can just stay the hell away from me ;-)
