FDA Regulation - The Hustle to Outlaw Tobacco

Gibbered the lying Senator from Massachusetts: "The tobacco industry has a long, dishonorable history of providing misleading information about the health consequences of smoking," Kennedy said. "The largest disinformation campaign in the history of the corporate world must end." That lie-spewing piece of garbage! It's the anti-smoking vermin who deliberately use defective studies, that are designed to falsely blame smoking for diseases that are really caused by INFECTION, in order to spread lies and deceive the public! Furthermore, the bloodsuckers' precious EPA ETS report was actually written by handpicked anti-smoking activists, via illegal pass-through contracts to conceal their identities, because the real EPA scientists were against calling ETS a human carcinogen! Furthermore, on the board of directors of the pass-through company sat a crony of George W. Bush, with former California Rep. Tony Coelho to represent the Democraps' active support of scientific fraud and corruption! Gibbered the dirty lie-spewer from the most corrupt and evil organization on earth, the American Cancer Society, which is flagrantly guilty of the aforementioned scientific fraud: "'Tobacco is a product that is known to kill, yet consumers of the product are not informed about the ingredients,' said Steven Weiss, a spokesman for the lobbying arm of the American Cancer Society." The Cancer Society vermin know that their vaunted ingredients list is completely meaningless, because they get changed into generic combustion products such as benzo[a]pyrene, of which even active smokers get over six times more from ordinary food! But the bloodsucking filth have deliberately hysteria-mongered the public with phony scares about chemicals for six decades, while they concealed and suppressed research on infection! As for Philip Morris's support of FDA regulation: Another thing the lying filth don't tell us is that the anti-smokers have sat on the board of that company (e.g., the stepson of the perpetual head of the American Cancer Society, Mary Woodard Lasker) and controlled it all along! (And that's why PM deliberately threw the Minnesota tobacco lawsuit, too!) And the anti-smoker filth smugly get away with their lies, because the lie-spewing CORPORATE MASS MEDIA have covered up the truth! (Kennedy to seek tighter reins on tobacco. By Diedtra Henderson. Boston Globe, Jan. 3, 2007.)

A government that spews lies and defamations against us is a criminal organization, not a legitimate authority!

For six decades, these lie-spewing, bloodsucking anti-smoker parasites have deliberately used defective studies which are designed to falsely blame tobacco for diseases that are really caused by infection. They created their mountain of lies for one reason: as a pretext to outlaw tobacco. The "Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act" is their corrupt bill for FDA regulation, which is crafted to provide them with authority to do so.

Page 13:

"SEC. 3. PURPOSE.
The purposes of this Act are—
(1) to provide authority to the Food and Drug Administration to regulate tobacco products under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), by recognizing it as the primary Federal regulatory authority with respect to the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products;
(2) to ensure that the Food and Drug Administration has the authority to address issues of particular concern to public health officials, especially the use of tobacco by young people and dependence on tobacco;
(3) to authorize the Food and Drug Administration to set national standards controlling the manufacture of tobacco products and the identity, public disclosure, and amount of ingredients used in such products;
(4) to provide new and flexible enforcement authority to ensure that there is effective oversight of the tobacco industry’s efforts to develop, introduce, and promote less harmful tobacco products;

[(5) this is the filthy vermins' tool to effectively outlaw tobacco.]

(5) to vest the Food and Drug Administration with the authority to regulate the levels of tar, nicotine, and other harmful components of tobacco products.

(6) in order to ensure that consumers are better informed, to require tobacco product manufacturers to disclose research which has not previously been made available, as well as research generated in the future, relating to the health and dependency effects or safety of tobacco products;

[This is a reeking lie! To ensure that consumers are better informed, they must get to hear about the anti-smokers' scientific fraud and political corruption - SO THEY KNOW THAT IT'S THE U.S. GOVERNMENT THAT'S BEEN LYING ALL THESE YEARS!]

Page 55 - this allows the Secretary to set such ridiculous standards for nicotine or other constituents that cigarettes are effectively outlawed:

‘‘(4) CONTENT OF TOBACCO PRODUCT STANDARDS.—A tobacco product standard established under this section for a tobacco product—
‘‘(A) shall include provisions that are appropriate for the protection of the public health, including provisions, where appropriate—
‘‘(i) for the reduction of nicotine yields of the product;
‘‘(ii) for the reduction or elimination of other constituents, including smoke constituents, or harmful components of the product; or
‘‘(iii) relating to any other requirement under subparagraph (B);
‘‘(B) shall, where appropriate for the protection of the public health, include—
‘‘(i) provisions respecting the construction, components, ingredients, additives, constituents, including smoke constituents, and properties of the tobacco product;
‘‘(ii) provisions for the testing (on a sample basis or, if necessary, on an individual basis) of the tobacco product;

Page 58, here's more:

‘‘(C) STANDARD.—Upon a determination by the Secretary that an additive, constituent (including smoke constituent), or other component of the product that is the subject of the proposed tobacco product standard is harmful, it shall be the burden of any party challenging the proposed standard to prove that the proposed standard will not reduce or eliminate the risk of illness or injury.

Page 107 lets the vermin pass more restrictive local laws

‘‘SEC. 917. PRESERVATION OF STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITY.
‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—
‘‘(1) PRESERVATION.—Except as provided in paragraph (2)(A), nothing in this chapter, or rules 19
promulgated under this chapter, shall be construed to limit the authority of a Federal agency (including the Armed Forces), a State or political subdivision of a State, or the government of an Indian tribe to enact, adopt, promulgate, and enforce any law, rule, regulation, or other measure with respect to tobacco products that is in addition to, or more stringent than, requirements established under this chapter, including a law, rule, regulation, or other measure relating to or prohibiting the sale, distribution, possession, exposure to, access to, advertising and promotion of, or use of tobacco products by individuals of any age, information reporting to the State, or measures relating to fire safety standards for tobacco products. No provision of this chapter shall limit or otherwise affect any State, Tribal, or local taxation of tobacco products.

Page 114 assesses extortionate "user fees" - typical of those dirty parasites, who've been feeding on us all along. And it's not a "user fee" because WE don't want their "services" in the first place. It's an ABUSER fee, to fund our own persecutors.

‘‘SEC. 920. USER FEE.
‘‘(a) ESTABLISHMENT OF QUARTERLY USER FEE.—
The Secretary shall assess a quarterly user fee with respect to every quarter of each fiscal year commencing fiscal year 2008, calculated in accordance with this section, upon each manufacturer and importer of tobacco products subject to this chapter.
‘‘(b) FUNDING OF FDA REGULATION OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS.—The Secretary shall make user fees collected pursuant to this section available to pay, in each fiscal year, for the costs of the activities of the Food and Drug Administration related to the regulation of tobacco products under this chapter.

‘‘(A) for fiscal year 2008 shall be $85,000,000;
‘‘(B) for fiscal year 2009 shall be $175,000,000;
‘‘(C) for fiscal year 2010 shall be $300,000,000;

Page 135 - the pile of lies the filthy vermin want on the package - which they manufactured by deliberately using defective studies designed to falsely blame smoking for diseases caused by infection!

‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—It shall be unlawful for any person to manufacture, package, sell, offer to sell, distribute, or import for sale or distribution within the United States any cigarettes the package of which fails to bear, in accordance with the requirements of this section, one of the following labels:

‘‘WARNING: Cigarettes are addictive’. [A trumped-up smear concocted by the same filthy vermin who commit the scientific frauds.]

‘‘WARNING: Tobacco smoke can harm your children’. [Anti-smokers are ignoring the fact that EBV and HPV infect children]

‘‘WARNING: Cigarettes cause fatal lung disease’.[See how little research on infection that the vermin have done, so they can keep blaming smoking]

‘‘WARNING: Cigarettes cause cancer’. [See how many different kinds of cancer the anti-smoker filth have lied about!]

‘‘WARNING: Cigarettes cause strokes and heart disease’.

‘‘WARNING: Smoking during pregnancy can harm your baby’. [see how the bloodsucking subhumans have concealed an enormous, gold-standard study by the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke]

‘‘WARNING: Smoking can kill you’. [NO, IT DOESN'T. Anti-smokers use fraudulent studies to falsely blame smoking.]

‘‘WARNING: Tobacco smoke causes fatal lung disease in non-smokers’. [EVERY ANTI-SMOKERS STUDY IS JUNK, BECAUSE THEY IGNORE THE CARCINOGENIC VIRUSES THAT CAUSE LUNG CANCER.]

[Furthermore, their precious "EPA" ETS report was actually written by handpicked anti-smokers (one of whom has publicly confessed), using illegal pass-through contracts to conceal their role, because the real EPA scientists were against calling ETS a human carcinogen. And, on the board of directors of the corrupt EPA contractor sat a crony of George W. Bush, and a bigshot of the Democratic Party as well!]

‘‘WARNING: Quitting smoking now greatly reduces serious risks to your health’.[NO, IT DOESN'T. Anti-smokers use fraudulent studies to falsely blame smoking.]

The dirty bloodsucking lie-spewers have smear-labels for other tobacco products, too.

These vermin have rebuffed all serious attempts at reason, and used their corporate power to censor the media. We should turn to violence, and exterminate these vermin, genocide their children, and smash their putrid culture to rubble!

And, those who don't like it can just keep their denial glasses on, as they've done all along to our detriment!
