HI Carl: MO is huge, it can spin off the tobacco, and if these
dumb cases get credit it will likly do just that..
The anti tobacco people are a little waco , look if you start
awarding people big money because they hurt themselves, how many
poor desperate souls will say hey if I smoke, and get cancer at
least I'l get rich..lot's of peoplehurt them selves all the time
hoping to get some sort of payoff..
this shot gun approch is the wrong way to go after tobacco..,
any way look at the other post, and if people are so set against
Mo..don't buy any Kraft Food, Breyers yogurt , Jell-O , Kool-Aid, Maxwell House, Oscar Mayer, Miracle Whip salad dressing, Raisin Brand,
Sanka coffee, Tang, Velveeta, Log Cabin syrups, Miller Beer,
MO is the mother Company for all those products
and many many more, cigarettes are just a part of it.
So if one kid goes bad, do you want to kill the mother and
all the others..it's simple don't smoke and up the tax on cigs,
but don't reward the nuts that do..
