New Larger Warning on Pack of Cigarettes

I used to smoke cigarettes. Although I happily quit more then 10 years ago I was still a little surprised when the average pack of smokes had to have 50% of the pack covered with anti smoking advertisements. I have recently noticed that the law must of changed again. Now it seems the anti smoking advertisement covers more then 80-90% of the front of the pack!! I'm a little shocked and don't really understand the logic behind it. Why don't the cigarette companies sue the government for impeding on their ability and right to sell a product marketed for adults to adults? And if these things are required for cigarettes why isn't there even a small warning on a beer can or wine bottle? Seems a little one sided to me.

Cancer and Pepsi linked??? Noooooo...

This is a gem. Cancer and Pepsi/Coca Cola are linked? Wow, what a surprise. And their solution? To reduce the level of the cancer causing chemical to meet the new requirements? It's still just as likely to give you cancer no matter what they try and do to it....

Introduction

Here we go, my first "blog"... I never thought I'd be doing this.... But day after day I see things going on in the media and the world that makes me want to pull my hair out. There are a number of subjects that I just need to vent on, and I think this will be a good outlet for that. Some of the things I'm going to be writing about in my future blogs include: The Evils of Txting, Oil Exploration, Possible ways to prevent Cancer, Emissions laws and problems with them, Vaccination problems and flu scares, and whatever else I can come up with!;-) Stay tuned...
