Anti-smoking bill hopes to reduce teen smokers

with 2 comments

This bill will give the FDA power limit what goes into a tobacco product, new products from being produced, and restrictions on tobacco farmers. Furthermore, the warning label will cover 50% of the front and rear packaging with a bold WARNING listed. Flavors are outlawed. I wonder how far that will stretch to include hookah and cigars. Hm. There are plenty more regulations than I have listed, but the point is: The government has too much control.

I wonder how many people don’t realize the dangers of smoking by now? I wonder how many teens are going to do it anyway despite the government’s best regulations/bans? I’m all for reducing the number of teens who smoke, but doing so by government control is not the answer.

    DAMN. I hope they don’t mess around with my vanilla flavored Skoal! Might have to figure how to flavor it myself if they do.

    For some reason I see this being implemented on all tobacco soon.
