What? No, this is total bullshit.
The FDA I mean. That's total bullshit.
The warning labels they put on the cigarette packs are completely disgusting - it's not wonder tabacco companies would sue them. First off, it's ignorant to assume people smoke because they
don't know what smoking can do to you. If the FDA is allowed to do bullshit like this, it would set a precedent that would basically say it's okay to put something like images of leg amputations on packs of bacon. Overconsumption of fatty foods cuts off blood flow, and in the worst case scenario, those with morbid obesity have had to lose limbs. In the same way, smoking too much causes what is depicted on the images they put on the cigarette packs.
Everything about this is totally self-righteous and out of line. People smoke as a choice, not because they don't know it'll kill them. All this will do is cause discomfort as they buy the smoke packs anyway, and make people look at them with disdain like they are lesser people for buying them. The whole anti-smoking campaign is pretentious, in my opinion.
On top of that, it's directly interfering with the sale of their product. From the perspective of the free market, it's an unfair infringement on their right to market their shit.
>>3 There is a reason they have no-smoking areas. If you're in public, it's easy enough to fucking move - it's not like you're forced to stand next to them and take heavy whiffs of their exhalations. Calling second-hand smoke a legitimate problem, unless it's in a crowded area of
just smokers, is an overused excuse.
