46. Would we be where we are at if the FDA HAD NOT APPROVED 200 chemicals to be added to
Edited on Mon Apr-06-09 06:11 PM by peacetalksforall
the tobacco and paper?

Where we're at:
Death
Illness
Rotten debilitating illness
High insurance costs
No insurance provided - turned down - if not prevalent today, wait until 'tomorrow'
Ever increasing taxes.
Money for law suits and defense.
Lies, distortions, lack of knowledge.
An issue of job availability.
Harassement accusations defense of addiction.
An FDA that can't be trusted.

Why we're where we're at:
Addiction - no one should be harped on for
addiction - everyone has an addiction. Also,
addicition is built in 'through lab chemistry'.

Where we could go:
Know what it does to infants, children as well
as fetuses?

Know what every single chemical is that is
added to the tobacco and paper and its effects.

Classes with graphic pictures.
