Today's Federal FDA power-grab over the entire tobacco industry
MUST BE OVER-RULED BY THE SUPREME COURT !
=========================================
*
This UNCONSTITUTIONAL CONTROL ATTEMPT by the Federal Gov't. would ELIMINATE the existing FREE-MARKET SYSTEM for ALL tobacco products
and is UNPRECEDENTED
among present and past regulatory laws
enacted within defined reasoned guidelines based in
logical necessity,
NOT Federal USURPATION and
DOMINATION of INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION. *
The SUPREME COURT has ruled to STOP this type of ABUSE
of Federal regulatory power aquisition ======================================
in N U M E R O U S CASE LAW rulings
==================================
in our judicial history.
=======================
*
Despite the negative effects of alcohol product use/abuse on society in the U.S.,
NEVER has an atempt been made
to grant to the Federal Gov't., through the FDA,
the power to DECIDE THE PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING
of ALL ALCOHOL PRODUCTS and
THIEIR VARIOUS INGREDIENTS.
THIS ENTIRE CONCEPT IS ABSURD and UNWORKABLE
in the extreme.
PROHIBITION in a free society does NOT work to anyone's benefit.
IT WAS TRIED BEFORE; IT FAILED.
ALL Federal Gov't. statistics regarding mortality effects from smoking and secondary tobacco smoke are BASED ENTIRELY on SYSTEMS of ESTIMATION in place of HARD PROVABLE FACTS ! THESE INCLUDE those deaths from FOREST FIRES ! "SMOKING-RELATED" is the mantra of these NON-SCIENTIFIC ESTIMATORS. NOT "CAUSED", no causation is ever mentioned, just by insinuation do these "estimations" magically become "FACTS" in the minds of those who predetermine the results they want. *
The Wash. Research Service concluded years ago that an estimated impact on the U.S. Medicare program from tobacco smoking to be approx. $.33 cents per pack of cigarettes sold/USA which is MORE than covered by the $1.09 per pack FEDERAL TAX NOW IMPOSED ! *
ANY FURTHER REGULATION by MANIPULATION
of the FREE MARKET PRODUCTION of TOBACCO PRODUCTS is
NOT NECESSARY FOR ANY REASON
and BY ANY RATIONAL REASONING PROCESS WILL NOT PASS A
CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE
in the U.S. SUPREME COURT.
U.S. Senator Sam Brownback, ( and other politicians I'm sure),
have mailed out FABRICATED FORM LETTER RESPONSES
to those they claim to represent.
These are ANTI-TOBACCO PROPAGANDA NOT BASED IN TRUTH,
NOT BASED IN EXISTING FACTUAL STUDIES,
but instead make TOTALLY UNSUBSTANTIATED and FALSE CLAIMS,
without ANY DOCUMENTATION WHATSOEVER
regarding an "ESTIMATED" loss to U.S. production and industry,
AGAIN, using their vague mantra of"SMOKING-RELATED"
to FABRICATE IMANGINED FIGURES to PREDETERMINE the
ABSOLUTELY FALSE RESULTS WHICH THEY THEN
CLAIM TO BE FACTUAL RESULTS ! *
In our FREE MARKET COUNTRY,
==============================
this PREMEDITATED FEDERAL POWER GRAB
=====================================
MUST BE CHALLENGED
==================
and HALTED IMMEDIATELY.
=======================
ANY FDA CONTROL OVER TOBACCO is
================================
A N A T H E M A to the
======================
FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM WE
=========================
NOW STILL ENJOY
===============
if we can KEEP IT F R E E !
==========================
*
I call upon those reading this to TAKE ACTION NOW.
IF your COMPANY has the means,
TAKE THIS TO THE SUPREME COURT !
===================================
WE MUST STOP THIS INSANITY BEFORE IT TAKES EFFECT. *
E V E R Y O N E CAN AND MUST WRITE TO CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS of the U.S. Supreme Court at: *
U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts
===============================
U.S. Supreme Court
==================
1 FIRST STREET
==============
WASH.,DC 20543
==============
and,
DEMAND A SWIFT JUDICIAL REVIEW FOR
CONSTITUTIONALITY of THIS TYRANICAL
FDA TOBACCO CONTROL LAW.
IT IS A HUGE VIOLATION of CIVIL RIGHTS.

If I recall correctly, the main thrust of this is to control the amount of nicotine allowed in cigarettes. If you truly contest that nicotine is harmless, and has no effect on human physiology, then you won’t have any problem putting a drop of pure nicotine in the palm of your hand. There’s overreaching, like dictating where and when someone can smoke, and there’s legitimate concern, like how much of a known poison to include as an additive in a consumer product. I have a large problem with government attempting the former, and very little with the latter.
However, if I have misconstrued the actual text of the initiative, then I retract my statements.
I am surprised that it’s come to this with cigarettes.
I understand all the health issues and all of that. What gets me is that #1 cigarettes are a big source of tax income, and gov’t really doesn’t want to discourage the tobacco business too much, #2, whatever we think about smoking and tobacco products, cigarettes are a legal product, and #3, yes, there are health issues. But there are health issues with alcohol, fatty foods, candy and sugary foods, etc. etc. So where exactly will the lines be drawn as far as the “nanny state” regulations vs. your own personal responsibility in your use of a legal product.
I don’t see what it will do except expand the FDA. I haven’t seen a tobacco ad in a long time and the packs already have warnings that are ignored. Will making them bigger do anything? Young people don’t think like adults - they feel they’re invulnerable. About the only thing the larger warning will do is add to the feeling of machismo when a kid starts smoking.
I wonder when the FDA will take control over alcohol.
I hope that day will never come -- but if it does, all I can say is "Welcome to our world!".
