People overwhelmingly choose the one with the dilated pupils. I hope all you tobacco users will read about the health consequences of your habit. I agree with the author that this is one horrible drug administration method. While the nicotine is addictive but not particularly debilitating, the accompanying tars, aldehydes, and other smoke components are debilitating and even lethal. Maybe the patches and chewing gum administration methods are better than the smoke method of administration.
Prescription drugs are horribly expensive.
We need change in this area too. Health care costs could be significantly reduced with just a few changes in the Food and Drug Act of 1914. That law took away the freedom of citizens to go to a pharmacist and get the drugs that the citizen, with the advice of the pharmacist, choose to use. Then you get to pay the inflated cost of the prescription drug itself. If the physician took a culture and identified the offending bacterium and used a particular antibiotic for that specific bacterium, it would be worth having the required doctor visit.
