November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month
Back in the 1980s I worked at a health insurance company and interestingly one of the things I remember best about that job was my boss (Paul) who smoked cigars nonstop throughout the day.

COVID facts you probably don’t know
It has been said in the advertising world that sex sells, and all you need to do is stroll down 5th Avenue to see that in action. But you know what else sells? Fear. Between the two, fear is arguably the more powerful force. When someone is in a state of fear, their ability to think clearly, independently, and rationally goes out the window. And at that point, it is much easier to control...
