NBC Promotes Abstinence

Tonight in a report on the new drug approved by the FDA to help people stop smoking, Robert Bazell of NBC News was commenting on the difficulties of quitting. Even with assistance like the new drug, only 1 in 5 people who try to quit will still be smoke-free one year later. So Bazell intoned on the message to young people "The easiest way to stop smoking is not to start." Since NBC now believes abstinence education works, I look forward to seeing them address the problems of teen pregnancy in the same vein...NOT.
