After reading about Alan, he really was a good man who did a lot for the cause. I created an online memorial for Alan. Please visit and contribute to the page.

He helped to encourage millions to die exactly the same way as himself! What did it say on the death certificate? Cause Of Death - Extreme Irony.

Cynical, and deliberate. There are lawyers paid to keep actions like this going.

But James I spoke out against smoking, ” Have you not reason then to bee ashamed, and to forbeare this filthie noveltie, so basely grounded, so foolishly received and so grossely mistaken in the right use thereof? In your abuse thereof sinning against God, harming your selves both in persons and goods, and raking also thereby the markes and notes of vanitie upon you: by the custome thereof making your selves to be wondered at by all forraine civil Nations, and by all strangers that come among you, to be scorned and contemned. A custome lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the Nose, harmefull to the braine, dangerous to the Lungs, and in the blacke stinking fume thereof, neerest resembling the horrible Stigian smoke of the pit that is bottomelesse.” 1604

I remember him, there were about 4 or 5 who were the ‘face’ of smoking, bit them on the bum pretty badly , didn’t it?
