I just opened the front cover of the latest Sports Illustrated magazine that was delivered a few days ago, the NBA Preview edition, and what did I see? A full page ad for Lucky Strike cigarettes.

Now I don't smoke, but I'm not a health-nazi; I respect other folks' rights to decide what to do with and to their own bodies as long as it doesn't interfere with someone else. Still, there seems something dishonest about a publication intended to promote the appreciation of athletic performance advertising a product that, if used as intended, will inhibit or prevent anyone from participating in athletic activities.
