Fox Host Bill O'Reilly on Wednesday claimed that he could have been the Marlboro Man.

"While I was covering the News in Denver, I was approached by a modeling agency to be the Marlboro guy dressed as a cowboy," he said on the "O'Reilly Factor" while lamenting the lack of a public health campaign warning about the dangers of weed.

He lauded the U.S. government's campaign against smoking tobacco, but said that the U.S. has taken the opposite approach to pot.

"Smoking marijuana is quite the opposite. That’s on the rise, as pot use is considered cool in many circles, and above all it is political correct," he said.

He then claimed that "smoking pot hurts the brain," referencing a new study published this week in the Journal of Neuroscience. The study found that marijuana use can cause abnormalities in certain parts of the brain.

What a conceited $#@!!

Thinking that government or it's propaganda arm can influence social trends.

Does this moron honestly think that because two states relaxed their weed laws that use has increased?

Being above board only means easier to track, nothing more...

Bill O'Really hurts the brain. (When is the Journal of Neuroscience gonna do a study on that phenomenon?)
