Hello Ladybird:
I had a man in my first clinic back in 1976 named Vic. He had made a comment to me in that program that illustrates the sentiment you just mentioned. He said he was reading warnings everywhere about smoking. Every time he picked up a pack of cigarettes he saw the warnings. If he looked at ads in the newspaper, magazines or even on billboards there was the omnipresent warning labels. When he'd see a headline in the newspaper with the term, "Surgeon General," he knew it was another warning message coming about smoking. Finally after many years of such harassment he finally came to the only "logical" choice from the constant bombardments of health warnings about smoking--he quit reading!
