[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 50425, member: 341"] I tend to side with EJ here--this seems more like a power-grab by Philip Morris to have the first "FDA-approved" cigarette on the market. I think the smaller craftsman blenders would actually be relatively unscathed, since they use no artificial additives and don't have to justify the safety of cigarette paper, binders, effect of filters, etc. Tobacco is the only "controversial" ingredient they employ, and the bill says they can't ban that. (For the record, if this passes the Senate with the same majority as the House, it wouldn't matter if Barry Goldwater were President: it's a veto-proof majority, just like the SCHIP bill passed with. You don't get a supermajority on a party line vote. The Republicans who helped these measures glide through--and the party that still welcomes them to caucus--are a beam in the eye of conservative principles.) [/QUOTE]
