Tobacco And Health Theory From A Tobacco Weekly
A New York doctor writing for a tobacco trade weekly argues it is bio chemically impossible to link cancer to smoking. Dr. James Coughlan, a 30 year specialist in soils and agricultural chemistry, says tobacco is a plant like cabbage and lettuce and is eaten without harm by animals. He contends tar from cigarettes and other factors cited by cancer researchers also occur in vegetables and meats, and that tobacco and nicotine act as stimulants boosting digestion and bodily secretions, potentially helping prevent diseases.

Veterans Affairs claim abandonment and pension income rules
A veteran’s claim is considered abandoned if he ignores VA requests for evidence or fails to appear for a required examination for one year after tests. The veteran would need to file a new application, with benefits starting from the new filing date. For pension, count income for the year to determine eligibility under the ceiling, not just the period after mid year.
Questions and Answers on VA Pension and Appeals
The Q and A explain that income must be reported for the entire year even if a pension is drawn part of the year. A disabled Korean veteran can receive monthly compensation while undergoing Public Law 16 vocational rehabilitation training. Appeals must be filed within one year from the VA’s original award date.
