Anti-Smoking Drugs May Induce Suicide
The Food and Drug Administration ordered "black box" warnings be placed on two popular smoking-cessation drugs after numerous reports from users of depression, and even suicidal thoughts. What do you think?
Kelly Crotte,
Unemployed
"Really? Whenever I've tried to quit smoking my thoughts have always been distinctly homicidal, not suicidal."
Dave Tyler,
Systems Analyst
"How about that. Yet another thing that I, a person who is too smart to ever have picked up such a filthy habit, can lord over those disgusting smokers."
Kevin Carley,
Librarian
"That's weird, because Prozac makes me want to smoke. And Pepto-Bismol makes me want to shoplift. Agh! Medicine!"
