Tobacco Companies Pledge to Fight Justice Department. Tobacco companies pledged to fight Justice Department efforts to recover $289 billion from the industry for allegedly conspiring to defraud consumers. By Sherri Day and Jonathan D. Glater. [New York Times: Health]
With a burned out 50 year old tobacco farmer from the Carolinas parked in the "reflecting pool" of Washington, DC decrying the lack of support for old time cancer stick growers, it looks like tobacco and those who grow the death weed are trying to have a come back. For many years they misled consumers and tried to convince themselves that there was no relationship between lung cancer, heart disease, many other ailments, and tobacco. Hey guys wake up and smell the roses, coffee, weed, or whatever. Try growing something else - maybe tomatoes - or peanuts - or dig for oil.
