All Bad Legislation comes wearing a halo. That's how about 60 years of Reefer Madness drug war atrocities began. People were persuaded to Protect Their Daughters from Black "reefer", and Mexican "marijuana" users. Look what happened. Read the "small print" and consider the meaning of the words.
The just-passed law (not signed yet) giving the FDA power to "regulate tobacco" is not what our mainstream media, or public officials tell us. Reefer Madness II.
Forty Nine Reasons for Obama Not to sign the FDA "tobacco" bill---
Every one of the 49 "findings" that justify the just-passed FDA "tobacco regulation" bill have problems...some quite basic. That the legislation is about control of tobacco, not control of manufacturers of cigarettes, is only one of endless rhetorical oddities.
Copy of letter to some US Congress members about the threatened FDA "tobacco regulation" act...a wholesomely-packaged tool that covers up so many crimes by pesticides, chlorine-dioxin, fertilizer, pharmaceutical etc etc industries---and their complicit insurers and investors---and their facilitators in government---that it's historic.

The Food and Drug Administration may "regulate tobacco", but it is set to distract from, ignore, and cover up the most serious crimes of the cigarette makers and their many ingredient suppliers. This legislation, packaged as "wholesome", is an affront to principles of science, law and humanity.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is probably the top promoter of the "wholesome" anti smoking crusade...meaning it opposes the behavior of individual people. The behavior of toxic and cancer-causing industries (pesticides, oil, coal, weapons, chlorine, GE "foods", etc, is not their concern. RWJF does't acknowledge that such criminals exist.
