This Week's Strip: "Smoking -- For Adults Only!" 

The NY Times had an editorial last week about a study showing that Philip Morris's anti-smoking ads actually encouraged teen smoking. The editorial is now behind the TimesSelect wall, but you can read about the study here. They actually used the slogan "Tobacco Is Whacko If You're a Teen."

The third panel is loosely based on a Johnny Thunders album cover (So Alone). Thunders wasn't smoking in that shot -- he was probably on something much worse than nicotine.
