[ RadSafe ] Interesting Proposed Cigarette Product Warning Labels

[Jerry Cohen]

Ed,
    As we are all aware, the govrnment never makes mistakes ;-) Certainly, the 
reason so many people continue to smoke is because the government mandated 
warning labels were too small. With the larger warning notices on cigarette 
packages I am sure all smoking will cease. It is gratifying to see our tax money 
so intellegently spent.
Jerry

Interesting!  The U.S. Surgeon (PHS) in 1968 issued this warning.  Over 42 years 
have passed and those who wish to smoke have ignored it.  I doubt if these 
warnings will fare any better.

My personal opinion.
