While I'm delighted that these tobacco industry trial products of unproven merit continue to "taste like s__t" (-a reference to the RJR president's famous quote in "Barbarians at the Gate"), I hope that we'll not see much more of OSH's time spent on what amounts mostly to market research valuable to the tobacco malefactors. |

Less Harmful cigarettes do exist, but the majority of the smoking public is unaware that they are available. Isn't it about time that our government establish an agency that would regulate all tobacco products? I have recently been made aware of a new company that makes a less harmful cigarette. The companies name is Wellstone Filters(lowertar.com), and they have a developed a special cigarette filter that is patented and FTC tested that screens out up to 95% of all carcinogens in cigarette smoke. It looks and acts just like a regular cigarette filter. Why don't all cigarettes manufactures use these or similar filters to provide a less harmful cigarette? If the FDA would regulate tobacco, the public could benefit from many new less harmful products. The citizens of our great free country have every right to enjoy a relaxing smoke, and why not make them less harmful! The anti smoking public would be better served if they would focus there energy toward getting our governmental agencies to demand from the tobacco companies less harmful tobacco products! It could all begin with the FDA regulating tobacco products! |
