Default Pessimism?

Is it pessimistic to say that smoking causes lung cancer?

Should those who's efforts it is to counter the tobacco industry be considered as negative? Perhaps maybe they just need to "move on"? I would bet that they get accused of droning the same message over and over again. What a boring bunch of sad sacks they are. Why can't anti-smokers just move on and leave the next generation to the big tobacco companies to educate?

I think that anti-smoking advocates are positive people. They might dislike smoking but are focused on saving lives and are having a positive effect on the health of our nation.

On that note I don't see myself as negative either but to a smoker who is desperately trying to drown out warnings about the ill effects it can be a buzz kill to see a poster or listen to a radio ad. It makes it difficult to remain in a state of denial with a guy like SkyHigh around.

Don't smoke.
