I'm not so worried about 'big oil' doctoring the cigarettes but it does seem a little strange that cigarette packs don't have to list any of the additives in the cigarettes, doesn't it?

No, it doesn't. The govt. exempted them from FDA control and requirements back when the FDA was founded before WW I. That is because they loved the tax money they generated.
They fall through the cracks now between the authority of various agencies, so no one has the power to require content labeling.

Besides, if you are so dumb you don't know they will kill ya, then you are too dumb to read the package.

That could be true but when you look at almost anything that you put in your body nowadays (food, liquid) it almost always has on the package the 'ingredients' with all the manmade stuff there.
Why NOT do the same with prefabricated cigarettes?

Shooting lead bullets in indoor ranges can result in lead poisoning if exposure is prolonged and repeated. If bullet manufacturers added something to their lead that was a thousand times more toxic than lead alone but kept that an industry secret wouldn't you be a little PO'd?

A lifetime of beer drinking can possibly lead to liver damage. Everyone knows this. So is it just too bad if beer makers put a flavor enhancer in beer that causes liver damage ten times faster but keep that an industry secret?
