    CDC announces $212 million in grants to all 50 states to purportedly reduce chronic diseases, but CDC press release claims funds will be used to reduce “tobacco use” and falsely claims “tobacco use” is “leading preventable cause of death”. Thus, funds are likely to be spent protecting cigarettes by demonizing e-cigs and smokeless tobacco and by lobbying for e-cig and smokeless tobacco usage bans and marketing restrictions (just as state and local health departments unlawfully spent previous CDC grant funds).

    Good thing it's election season. Throw a few of these entitled .......s out of office...maybe they'll learn with pain as a motivator?
