Of course, you knew smoking was bad for you. Look at all the scientific research behind the, "No smoking." campaigns. Maybe you'd like to find original source articles (in peer-reviewed journals) on this topic or on the biology of addictive behavior. How would you do that? Here's something related that I quickly found using a search engine. http://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/16/5/312?rss=1 Post what you find.

There is an article in one of the journals on. "the general paucity in the literature of negative data." (Source: http://medicine.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pmed.0050201, accessed 11-13-07).

Remember that, "no," to a hypothesis still gives valuable information. This point is important to convey to science fair judges, participants in science fairs, the general public who ultimately fund what could be un-biased research, and to scientists and journal editors.
