"We are not changing this for you. If you don't want us to sell our product in your state just let us know."

Joe, I didn't read the entire MSA, but I don't think this was IN there. Big Tobacco should pull out. That would REALLY cause a riot. LOL!

To: SheLion
SheLion, awhile back the illustrious Gang of Thieves here in Sacramento decided to demand the tobacco industry put on their packs the lies they constantly tell about the "danger" of environmental tobacco smoke. It's the only time in history I remember the industry telling the politicians to go pound sand, saying they'd stop selling their products in the state if forced to do so. All the major companies stood together, and the stated backed down in a rabbit minute after, as I remember, ONE press release rattling their sabers and throwing around terms like "monopoly" and "restraint of trade," etc. The entire issue appeared and disappeared within a week.
