| As a sidenote, I should mention that disclosure of the ingredients in cigarettes will do nothing to protect the public's health. We already know that cigarettes kill - knowing the specific ingredients in the cigarettes, beyond the more than 4,000 chemicals that have already been identified - is not going to help out substantially. After all, what is there that we are going to find out from disclosure of all ingredients that we don't already know from the identification of the thousands and thousands of ingredients that we have known about for the past 30 years or so? The cigarette additives have already been disclosed and that long list hasn't been of any use to protecting the public's health. But that's neither here nor there. The point is that the American Cancer Society is once again using deceit to support the FDA bill. Either that or they are keeping one of the juiciest secrets of all time. |
