![]() | The
more exposure young kids have to cigarette smoking the more likely they
are to smoke--especially, says a brand new study, when the lighting up is glorified on the big screen. We had no idea the media was so influential! Is the same true for books? If so, should we stop reading The Smokey Adventures of Happy Harry Cigarette and his Pal Virginia Slim in Marlboro Land to our kids?

![]() | Maybe we were drunk when we read this study, but we swear these are the findings: Students who play drinking games are more likely to have high levels of intoxication.
The study, done in a three-semester time span, monitored 66 college
parties. Not completely satisfied with their results (or with not getting to hang out
anymore with hot college boys and girls) "the team plans to expand its
college research to other environments, including bars." Nice work if
you can get it. In related news: Playing spin-the-bottle results in kissing and heating bread leads to toast. |
