The government should just step back from the tobacco industry. The government should renege on the tobacco settlements. The government should stop collecting taxes and stop placing warnings on cigarette packs. Everybody knows that smoking is hazardous. Being told this the ten thousandth time is not going to have any effect.
Let the tobacco industry try to devise a warning sufficient to protect themselves from the plaintiffs attorneys. The attorneys would sue the industry out of existance in a few short years without government protection. Why the government steps in to prevent this natural event from occuring is a mystery. Maybe it has to do with all that tax money.
We have a WINNER!!
