You have said it all my friend. I'm working on a letter to the editor about opioids right now. Maybe I'll post a copy if they printed

The AMA released their 2018 numbers last month. I was amazed to see that 'smoking' is still the #1 choice of self-inflicted demise in America (more people do it and it costs us all more). The second is Obesity. The 3rd is alcoholism. Drugs, including opiates, are somewhere below alcoholism. I suspected from the start that this hysterical 'opioid epidemic' was a 'red herring', soaking up attention while nicotine addiction goes unaided and Big Tobacco Companies continue to prosper. Peggy
