[QUOTE="Buck, post: 46637, member: 512"] I like this part........ "Under Legislation, Agency Could Require Removal of Harmful Chemicals, Additives" Could it be that with all the harmful junk gone off tobacco the death rate would drop? From the story........ "In what appears to be the best chance since public health groups started pushing for it in the 1970s, Congress is poised to regulate tobacco, a product linked to 1,200 deaths each day but sold largely unfettered for centuries. Legislation that the House Energy and Commerce Committee will take up today would place tobacco under the control of the Food and Drug Administration. [u][i]Among other things, the bill would restrict the ways tobacco companies market cigarettes, require them to disclose the ingredients in their products and place larger warning labels on packages, and give the FDA the authority to require the removal of harmful chemicals and additives from cigarettes."
