Sen. Harkin (like Sens. Durbin, Blumenthal, Brown, Merkley, Markey and previously Lautenberg and Kennedy) have done whatever Big Pharma funded CTFK, ACS, AHA, ALA, AAP, etc. ask them to do on
tobacco policy issues (e.g. enacting and falsely promoting the TCA as "protecting children from Big
tobacco", sponsoring legislation to increase taxes on smokeless and e-cigs to the same rate as cigarettes, pushing for FDA regulation of ALL
tobacco products).
