    It's an unholy alliance of tobacco and pharma companies. Nasty business.

    I didn't see any Congressman or Senator's names attached to the article the OP linked to. Just more scare journalism. Every bill that is put thru the House or Senate has a sponsor (or more likely, several). Who is the sponsor of this bill?

    That's the Waxman Bill, aka The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, H.R. 1256
