Tobacco's Strange Politics(Why we are Fine Paying $10 for a tobbaco Pack)

lder, cooler crucial players on the slope of the mountains of Colorado when I was 13 or 14. C / DC "and" Back in Black "played largely in the background, and the sun is shining, in addition to the smoke and the silencing of piracy piece of pipe, I have a paper up to a great wine of the toxic chemicals and additives, which makes smoking addictive and fun of this horrible painful.

Later in my years, and I want to a lot of cool - more than it should, according to teachers, school counselors and parents - but in this age, you are embarrassing the child. I remember that age, and cooling of the players invited me to smoke the first time I felt my thigh - for the first time I felt accepted in the clan desirable.

I, of course, decades of internal "lifestyle" for propaganda purposes associate sex with a complex and smelly, and dangerous products.

At this point, I was a victim of the conscience of the industry and used as a pretext, unfair advertising, and political corruption in some cases to maintain the profit margins on the back about 400,000 U.S. deaths each year.

But in those years, I was able to leave and try and try a lot, only to die of the vulnerability to addiction. By the way, and I have known in detail the extent of the damage to your lungs, heart and blood vessels.

Thus, in the past 25 years or so, smoking is a personal, if highly destructive, and selection, and I - and society - are likely to pay a high price down the road.

Thus, tobacco policy, which is consistent with the views of other purely ideological. Overall, the "left" is more pressure on the organization of the tobacco industry to protect consumers, a comprehensive effort to get people to stop talking sharp and taxes on cigarettes.

The right-wing talker Rush Limbaugh sachleneni in the past, it was perfectly legal, the arrest of tobacco products and smoking, "the choice of life" until the ban - or the imposition of harsh taxes on its members - also violates the fundamental freedoms and we are not stupid, self-destructive things.

Divide both sides of the argument have a legitimate Shizoidna may help to explain the nature of tobacco. This is the essence of the deadly, the cultivation of which has a long tradition in the Americas, and provides a livelihood for tens of thousands of producers, and adopt, as a society, we are still lacking to this step, the least that the prohibition of harmful substances such as marijuana), which is also the most important cash crop in the the country, according to estimates).

While society has become more stigmatization of smokers, rather than be seen as generally those that rely on other material - such as people who suffer from this disease - the tobacco industry successfully izbuta 29 states and the District of Columbia for the "smoker protection" laws, which raise tobacco users in the same kind of protection for the elderly, the disabled and minorities.

But it can not be denied that the most important industries, the trend is towards more regulation and more restrictions on smoking, and increased social isolation for those who continue to smoke.

Reporter Matt Cooper, a veteran of the "tobacco wars" in 1990, and a significant decline in tobacco, said the ability to guide the political debate, and it is difficult to believe this, and the changes in a few years, arguing that the scene changed to a large extent fueled by the continued exclusion of smokers of life Assembly, and dozens of cities and public places in force and the imposition of a ban on smoking, it seems that this generation can not be conceived only.

Only this year - and some of the lost two hours of hot wars, economic collapse on a scale not seen for generations and noisy battles on issues such as the high level of health - the tobacco industry is facing significant obstacles in two hours.

In June, Obama signed a bill that would allow the Food and Drug Administration to regulate production. Under the new law, regulators have the power to regulate tobacco advertising, tobacco companies will not be able to Peddlar products as "light" and "low tar" or "moderate" but will be a complete list of products containing the toxic side.
