FDA NEW: "...Experimental Studies on Consumer Perceptions of Modified Risk Tobacco Products"

[Nate760]

For the past three decades, the attitude and strategy of most tobacco controllers has been "lets first get a law enacted by claiming its will protect the children and is constitutional, and then we'll accuse federal judges of being pro tobacco if/when they strike down the law as unconstitutional."

The idea that law-abiding adult citizens have rights, and government's foremost obligation is to protect those rights, just isn't a part of the tobacco control worldview. For them, the Constitution is merely an annoying impediment to their goal of a tobacco-free, nicotine-free utopia.
