Hi Heartland, it's DSBlog, are you there?? [2]

As regular DSBlog readers know, late last week we issued a challenge to debate [6] whether smoking is bad for you to the Chicago-based "Heartland Institute. [7]"
The challenge eminates from a global warming debate challenge issued by Heartland [8] last week to former Vice-President Al Gore and Heartland's continued activities [7] 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 [9] (you can find his lenghty rant here [6]), we have heard nothing. Come on, we've even made a poster.
