What do these people want? The package to be black with a skull and bones on it with a label saying "Cancer"?

That wouldn't help...we'd still smoke 'em!! No, what they want is total backdoor prohibition. Next after bars and bowling alleys are parks and sidewalks...then your car...then your apartment...eventually your house. They want to make smoking illegal, by making it illegal to find a place to smoke. And they have a lot of $$ behind their efforts. Even before they've dispatched with smoking, they're already onto fast foods and "fat taxes". Have some fun and google Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, John Banzhaf, or Stan Glantz. Find out about the efforts behind these bans, and the plans to "sue" to enact neo-prohibitionist legislation. fun stuff.

I'd LOVE for these groups to ban cigarette's outright across the United States.  Can you imagine the "ripple effect" this would have? LOL!
