     Not only is using a symbol in a sentance annoying. In this case it's not neccecarily true. It depends when the abortion accurs. I really hate this kind of half-truth as fact advertising.
     Hell, I haven't smoked a cigarette since the seventh grade, but since some of these anti-smoking commercials have come out I've seriously considered picking up the habit. Especially the one I heard where they liken asking someone to put out their cigarette to removing (various deadly animals) from their immediate vicinity. I remember one of them was a poisonous tree frog from their neck. This is stupid, sure smoking is unhealthy but it won't kill the average person within minutes.
