''It's time to give tobacco the image it deserves, and pharmacists can be important partners in this effort,'' said Holt...

ROLL YOUR OWN. Then you can buy beautiful cases off of Ebay like "I" did!

Three in four Canadians support the warnings, and 44 percent of that country's smokers said the labels increased their motivation to quit, according to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Oh SURE they do, DON'T they Great Dane! heh (damn liars)

''Every smoker and every potential smoker gets these.''

LIAR! Not the ones who ROLL THEIR OWN, they don't!

''Tobacco use can make you impotent.

SHOW ME THE PROOF!

''The work that you're doing in the pharmacy the work that you're doing right here in this health center is so important to making sure that young people know that we're not talking about a product that's cool,'' Meehan said.

SO DON'T BUY FROM A DRUG STORE. SIMPLE AS THAT!

Well, that's nice. Replace cigarettes with pictures of diseased lungs. I would also suggest posting pictures of politicians and then replacing them with pictures of mobsters and prostitutes to more accurately reflect the make up of the Senate and House.

"It's time to give tobacco the image it deserves ...."

U.S. Reps. Rush Holt, D-N.J., and Martin Meehan, D-Mass., hope the posters will build support for a measure that would require similar warnings on packaging for cigarettes and other tobacco products. ...posters bearing images of diseased organs...

First, we have had warnings on cigarette packs since the '60's. As for the images of diseased organs--give me a break! I have worked in medicine and have seen cancerous lung tissue up close and personal and I am still smoking. Should I become ill from smoking it's my responsibility and mine alone.

It is obvious that many states could not survive without our tobacco tax dollars--I can't deal with these hypocrites telling us they are taxing us to save our health, while they are greedily reaping the profits.

Congressmen fight to give tobacco ''the image it deserves''..................

Yeah, CASH COW and revenue source.

Oh SURE they do, DON'T they Great Dane! heh (damn liars)

You're right, those labels do nothing...... heck teens started collecting them like they do baseball cards, and the number of smokers has stayed the same for years.

Imagine the nerve of our official health-nut, stating that in the year since the smoking ban, the results are already showing in our medical system. I am going to ask him to prove it.
