Ron Paul on Government Regulation Of Tobacco VIDEO
2009-06-16 22:32:00 Congressman Ron Paul - Moving Towards Tobacco Prohibition - Texas Straight Talk:Last week, another bill was passed and signed into law that takes more of our freedoms and violates the Constitution of the United States. It was, of course, done for the sake of the children, and in the name of the health of the citizenry. It?s always the case that when your liberty is seized, it is seized for your own good. Such is the condescension of Washington.The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act will give sweeping new powers over tobacco to the FDA. It will require everyone engaged in manufacturing, preparing, compounding, or processing tobacco to register with the FDA and be subjected to FDA inspections, which is yet another violation of the Fourth Amendment. It violates the First Amendment by allowing the FDA to restrict tobacco advertising in multiple ways, as well as an outright ban on advertising any cigarettes as light, mild or low-tar. The FDA will have the power of pr...

2009-01-18 20:43:00 During a Monster Truck Show in Tacoma, Washington, some debris flew into the stands and killed a 6 year-old boy.

Fans alerted the medics by throwing paper cups and soda cans at them and the show? The show went on. F*ck yeah, it did. ‘Cause that’s how they roll in Tacoma.

Bahamas Pharmacies selling tobacco products spark industry debate
2008-04-26 00:41:00 Pharmacies selling cigarettes ignite industry debate: By VERNON CLEMENT JONES, Guardian Business Editor - Nassau, Bahamas: An apparent growth in the number of drugstores selling cigarettes is sparking debate among pharmacists, many concerned the practice compromises ethical guidelines while providing no real boast to the bottom line. "About 80 percent of a Bahamian pharmacy's sales are directly from prescription drug," said Crystal Gibson, a local practitioner, "There's no need for pharmacies to get involved with selling something that actually harms the client-customers they are hoping to help." Her comments come as another two of the country's 50 or more drugstores move to stock and sell tobacco products. They join at least three others scattered across downtown Nassau offering cigarettes and cigars in addition to their core service of dispensing drugs. Government licensing of the latter does not, in fact, preclude the former. Still, the Bahamian trend runs counter to...

Would John McCain Outlaw Tobacco?
2008-03-28 14:21:00 There are quite a number of reasons why I'm terrified of John McCain seeing the White House in 2008. His pro-Iraq war stance; his friendship with President Bush; his public criticism for accepting funds from large corporations; his history of being wined and dined by media moguls; that the National GOP so heartily supports him; his tendency to call himself Conservative and act otherwise. Just to name a few. And I've just unearthed one more reason to be wary of him: will the personal choice to use tobacco be the next to go?

WHO: New report on global tobacco control efforts
2008-02-08 13:51:00 7 FEBRUARY 2008 NEW YORK -- WHO today released new data showing that while progress has been made, not a single country fully implements all key tobacco control measures, and outlined an approach that governments can adopt to prevent tens of millions of premature deaths by the middle of this century.In a new report which presents the first comprehensive analysis of global tobacco use and control efforts, WHO finds that only 5% of the world’s population live in countries that fully protect their population with any one of the key measures that reduce smoking rates. The report also reveals that governments around the world collect 500 times more money in tobacco taxes each year than they spend on anti-tobacco efforts. It finds that tobacco taxes, the single most effective strategy, could be significantly increased in nearly all countries, providing a source of sustainable funding to implement and enforce the recommended approach, a package of six policies called MPOWER (see below)....

Global fight against Tobacco Intensifies
2008-02-08 03:57:00 By Betsy MckayFeb 8, The Wall Street JournalLikening the tobacco industry to a "disease vector" such as a virus or bacterium, a report by the World Health Organization called on governments around the world to strengthen the fight against tobacco, and offered them a six-point set of measures for doing so.Only 5% of the world's population is discouraged from smoking by any antitobacco measure, such as with advertising bans, prominent warning labels on cigarette packs and smoke-free public spaces, despite billions of dollars that governments collect in tobacco-tax revenue, according to the report. Tobacco-tax revenue is more than 500 times higher than spending on tobacco control, it said.About 5.4 million people in the world annually die prematurely from tobacco-related causes such as cancer, according to the WHO. By 2030, the agency predicts that number will rise to 8.3 million.Read more this news quotephoto: The WHO has launched a campaign to urge governments around the world to d...
