>Smoking is not an viral "infection". Same principle as my argument
against ARV's for AIDS, though. Long term exposure to a toxin(tar,
toluene, AZT, etc) will produce varying results depending on the
constitution of the individual exposed to it. Heavy smoking will
usually create the results consistent with medical findings. On the
other hand, HIV, being a retrovirus, is consistent in its behavior
with every other retrovirus "infecting" man. We need some well
documented, scientifically peer reviewed, controlled studies with HIV
+ individuals who do not take AZT versus those that do. These
studies must then be released for public review in a language that the
public can understand. After all, they're usually the ones who must
take the meds. Isn't that fair? jb
