How many times have you heard it?  Oh, the French.  They sip a full-fat cappucino and nibble a butter croissant for breakfast and linger over lunch and dinner, savoring each with family and friends, talking and enjoying each other’s company. And they never get fat!

You know what’s missing from that xenophilic little vignette?  The French relationship with SMOKING, a fantastic appetite suppressant.
