** No Cure For Cancer also opens with an ''epic'' rant about a man from England who at the time had a senate hearing to make the medical health warnings on cigarette packs much larger; in the 2000's, the US packaging began to feature prominent written warnings regarding the dangers of smoking; packets in the UK are now required to feature graphic images of the effects of smoking, including diseased lungs, clogged arteries and so on. Looks like the guy got he last laugh, Denis.
