Tobacco firms sue FDA over new graphic warning

[addy]

Yeah. I think they could keep the hotline number on the label (dial so-and-so if you want to quit smoking and need help) but putting pictures of corpses and such on the label is overstepping and a restriction of trade... even if, I believe, the labels are not meant for the adults but are rather meant for kids who want to try smoking: this makes a bit more sense to me because teenagers are immature and known risk-takers, so I can see why the FDA would think graphic warnings work better on them. The FDA's intentions may be good, but there's a line. As long as tobacco is still a legitimate industry then there's still a limit to how shoddily federal law should treat hem.
