I was more dissappointed when they didn't follow up with the international tobacco treaty. According to many websites, there were many states that recieved a F for not having enough great state regulations. The federal governemnt also recieved Fs and a D -for failing to ratify the international treaty. I believe more should be done and that graphic images should be displayed on cigareete warings along with their warings so they can have more power on a person and can make the person acknowledge the effects of smoking 2008-07-26T14:18:58Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-07-26:/comment/36317 Barry34785 It's really NOT the government's job to help you decide anything. If you're too stupid to not know that tobacco products of all types are harmful and not to mention disgusting habits, then you should at least contribute to government coffers by paying large amounts of tax money when you purchase the above described tobacco products. With all the ads and all the other information readily available to everyone on TV, Radio, the Internet as well as the warnings that are printed on the product labels I find it extraordinary that one cannot determine continued tobacco use is harmful to one's health. Moreover, that we need more government to help us in the endeavor, just boggles my mind. 2008-08-06T15:53:33Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-08-06:/comment/37517 hateregistering Just another way for the government to try and control us... 2008-08-04T14:19:26Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-08-04:/comment/37368 soundwave I hope this will no pertain to Cigars...

There's no monopoly on stupid. "Graphic images on warnings..."? Well, then let's do the same for cars, etc. *sarcasm* 2008-07-26T14:11:54Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-07-26:/comment/36316 Barry34785 This bill is crap. It was introduced by Waxman for Christ's sake. Get real, either you outlaw this tobacco crap or you don't. More government is not the answer. If these politicians were really serious they would legalize all drugs and the tax the crap out of them. Think of the revenue that could be generated by the stupid. Just like the lottery. 2008-06-26T16:42:00Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-06-26:/comment/29337 Anonymous Prohibition is proven to not work. Just take a look back in history. I'm all for not letting children smoke, but come on. 2008-03-19T15:26:31Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-03-19:/comment/3474 Anonymous there are amendments to HR 1108. why does your site not have these? 2008-01-15T00:42:46Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-01-15:/comment/162 pnind9 This bill will not stop smoking or restrict an adult from buying cigarettes, but it seems like it will try to prevent the pushing of cigarettes on children.
