AP) – A federal judge today ordered tobacco companies to publish corrective statements that say they lied about the dangers of smoking. US District Judge Gladys Kessler previously had said she wanted the industry to pay for the statements in various types of advertisements, the result of a case brought in 1999.But today's ruling is the first time she's laid out what they will say. Each is to be prefaced by a statement that a federal court has concluded that tobacco companies "deliberately deceived the American public about the health effects of smoking."Among the required statements are that smoking kills more people than murder, AIDS, suicide, drugs, car crashes, and alcohol combined, and that "secondhand smoke kills over 3,000 Americans a year."
wonder if this will hold up or will the right wing once again side with big business it is the congress that makes the laws and that majority some of us left there this year don't care about those who smoke and voted for them.
"All cigarettes cause cancer, lung disease, heart attacks and premature death—lights, low tar, ultra lights and naturals. There is no safe cigarette."just one admission that we may or may not see on the side of that over priced pack of death the republicans support than to add insult to injury want to deny you healthcare right wing double whammy?
how many of you out there blowing smoke rings still intend to vote for these deregulation front men for big tobacco?
