Congress sends Obama bill to regulate tobacco

[USNinc]

Here's the scenario; If I like Big Macs the way they are...who should decide if they stay that way? McDonalds or the government?? Theorectically (as with the tobacco industry) the government can say to McDonald's and places like them we don't like what you product is doing to the people we insure. Change your product so that it meets our approval.

When did the government tell tobacco that they may use ONLY ingredients that won't harm you?

Tobacco still kills people who use it...
Doesn't seem like they are doing much to stop that.

It's not that you're saying something profound to me and I don't get it...I just think it's bunk.

What does this mean to you?

The measure for the first time will give the Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate what goes into tobacco products, demand changes or elimination of toxic substances and block the introduction of new products.

Something doesn't have to be "profound" to simply be misunderstood.
