mindfful: as a cancer SURVIVOR having to commit treason (at the time that was the law) by seeking vitamin b17 treatments after they were outlawed here (due to being successful-and research in america doesnt want a cure in this country)

Though I do agree with you on this part, MF. The stuff I'm learning as I do my studies in Natural Medicine are making me sick. The medical profession isn't about making people better, it's about making a profit. And the FDA works with them to make it almost impossible to get alternative therapies at a reasonable cost and with ease that work so much better than chemo, radiation, and medications...and not just for cancer.
druidess6308: Honestly, I'm a smoker, but I think that first one is great news. There are a lot of poisons and carcinogens in cigarettes, and there has been too little regulation of this industry by the agency it was under.
That's just it dru, it has been totally unregulated except by the big tobacco companies. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they discover big tobacco has been putting chemicals in cigs to make them even more addictive than nicotine alone. Hopefully we'll find out just exactly what these guys may have been spiking cigarettes with.
Galactic_bodhi: Nah, that's what everybody called them that was in that program. That program isn't easy. Not with all the Chem and Calculus and a google other crap that you never use afterward. Study groups. Swearing. Breaking Pencils. Pictures of the Surgeon General on a dart-board.
Obama dartboard.... I could make millions.. YES WE CAN!!! ..
.... but Obama would then just take for my part of his tax-o-thon...

SensualVixen: The irony of this is both cigarettes and prescribed patches to quit smoking under one roof.....
] FDA will outlaw the electric cigarette, because those are starting to catch on and I hear they work pretty well... that is exacty why they will outlaw them... the people who make them, don't give them kick-backs..

ooby_dooby: Congress has overwhelmingly approved a bill to place control of tobacco products under the jurisdiction of the Food & Drug Administration. It is on it's way to our president for his signiture which will make it the law of the land. Now this disgusting substance which is more addicting than heroin will be regulated by the FDA. Tobacco co's will be forced to turn over formally secret lists of ingredients which they have put in tobacco, many of them poisonous and carcinogenic. This is so long overdue to be beyond belief. Until now, a head of lettuce had more controls over it than a cigarette.
Item 2, The UN security council has voted 15 to 0 on a resolution that would appreciably tighten weapons and financial sanctions against North Korea.
Item 3, Hasn't happened yet but my hope is that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad loses the election in Iran.
Is it "formally" secret lists or..."formerly" secret lists??
