RE:"I did not say I am for the current situation of the Federal government allowing the product to be sold, but at the same time allowing the hyenas in the legal profession to do their thing." You hit the nail on the head as usual... The arguement is circular...if cigs aren't bad enough to ban, and people smoke them of their free will, why should Lawyers be allowed to sue? If Cig companies are so criminal, why are cigarettes legal? The whole governmental stance is very hypocritical. RE:"Compared to the current situation, I would prefer a ban." This of course is a double edge sword. You then create a black market, smuggling problem that must be enforced. OTOH, a high cost of cigs would be a major deterent. Jim
