Chris, Thanks for the interesting post. If you open your refrigerator and look inside you will find that at least 1/2 of the food is marketed by our company but the most profitable side of the business is the tobacco industry. Congress is punishing our company and the other tobacco companies unfairly. Its known that smokers die younger than non-smokers, there are more former smokers in the US than smokers. The health hazards are probably a balance considering the death rates. The nursing homes aren't filled with 75 year old smokers that we taxpayers will have to support for 20 years. This may be a hard look at the facts but an accurate one. Congress has gone too far and our company must fight back. cdaiseyPhD@justice-for-tobacco.com
