[C-U Smokefree] Green Street Cafe offers unique nightlife experience

[Daniel S. Lewart]

Editor,

Congratulations on additional advertising revenue which must have
paid for "Green Street Cafe offers unique nightlife experience",
the latest in a series of promotions for hookah bars!

Oh, wait, it's listed as a "News" story.  Now how could that be?
Any newspaper with any shred of journalistic integrity
would have contacted the American Cancer Society about the
dangers of hookah smoking.

Since your reporter did not investigate, here is a quote from
an ACS web page (which took me one minute to find):
	Hookah smoking has become popular among young people.
	It is actively marketed as safer than cigarettes because
	the percent of tobacco in the product smoked is low.
	This claim for safety is not true.  Experts at the ACS
	believe that smoking any amount of tobacco is dangerous.
	And it is addictive and likely to lead to cigarette smoking
	in the future.
