It's their own fault for being oblivious to what's going on. If they spent as much time, effort, and finances on real data, real scientists, real doctors, as they do their spin doctors, they would have a huge wake up call.Absolutely. They did a similar thing with the dissolvable orbs, strips, and sticks. They were issuing press releases talking about "candy tobacco."
I was giving a presentation at the FDA and mentioned this. One of the FDA folks looked stunned and said "The sellers are calling it candy tobacco"? He was even more stunned when I told him that it was the anti-tobacco people calling it that.
So great, if the kids mistake it for candy, they will have only themselves to blame. Believe me, Reynolds was not asking stores to display their products anywhere other than among their brands of cigarettes.
It was Nicorette that I saw displayed out in the open, on the bottom shelf even, with colorful boxes to attract the attention of the chiiiiiiiilldren.
Maybe we can petition Obama to make the FDA spend equal amounts of resources on real facts as they do their propaganda advocates.
I can't believe how many people don't realize the difference between professional science, doctors, lab, data and spin doctors.
Elaine, look for a note from leafy ok. I asked them to contact you via CASAA
