[ RadSafe ] Interesting Proposed Cigarette Product Warning Labels

[Doug Aitken]

Of course, one wonders how a government can put such notices on an article,
and still permit its sale?
Oh, I forgot. The tobacco industry...... and the taxes.....

Let's instead spend billions to ensure that another smoking product with
proven therapeutic value (to some) remains illegal....
;~)
Doug (personal musing, only!)

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.
