On another note, why doesn't Micheal Moore, or even Oprah, go after the tobacco industry?

 

Too busy I guess

Oh, man, I wish I had the gift of "spin" that they put on this.  Does some school offer a course on this type of spinning?  If so, it should be a required course for every hypnotherapist.  Think of the reframes you could come up with!

Thanks for the post Mark,

 

What a joke, positioning menthols as a racial issue, discriminating against black smokers, using 4% to make it look like a small amount of smokers,, totally spinning the real issue, that everyone that smokes dies period.

 

One question,, A friend of mine moved to Italy, I was on facebook with her, she told me that Italy tried to ban smoking completly, and that only lasted half a day.

 

Is there any countries that have banned smoking knowing the guaranteed illness and the fact that death is quicker, that billions are spent on it in health care,,

 

This is what is wrong with the FDA,, Money and power of lobbiest protect the cigarette Mill of death. And the government has no program for unemployed, homeless as for health care..

 

Sound Imperialist, not a Democracy.
