As regular DSBlog readers know, late last week we issued a challenge to debate [1] whether smoking is bad for you to the Chicago-based "Heartland Institute. [2]"
The challenge eminates from a global warming debate challenge issued by Heartland [3] last week to former Vice-President Al Gore and Heartland's continued activities [2] downplaying the harmful effects of second-hand tobacco smoke.
After initial reaction from a commenter on DSBlog purporting to be Heartland's very own James Taylor [4] (you can find his lenghty rant here [1]), we have heard nothing. Come on, we've even made a poster.
