Obama Continues His Policy of “Change”
June 24th, 2009 by RickOn Monday, President Obama, signed the country’s toughest anti-smoking law, in another attempt to keep the children “safe” from a designated adult product and habit.
The bill would give free reign for the Food and Drug Administration to:
- Regulate what goes into tobacco products (candy and fruit flavored blunt wraps?)
- Publicize the ingredients (all 3000+ of them)
- Prohibit marketing campaigns receptive toward children
Obama spoke from experience about the risk of teens smoking:
I know. I was one of these teenagers. [...] And so I know how difficult it can be to break this habit when it’s been with you for a long time.
So many studies have come out that should have caused this drug to be banned a long time ago. The tobacco industry however has become such a big business that the federal government seemed to ignore as it danced to it’s corporate fiddle.
