Stebbijo: Too Many Warning Labels

The government has now mandated that in 2012, graphic photos of tabacco related images such as cancerous lungs, rotting teeth, and dying individuals are part of the warning label on cigarettes. The image will take up half of the package. You can thank Congress  for the ” The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.”  This required the F.D.A.  to place more prominent warning labels on the package, signed by President Obama. Enough is enough! These cigarette warning labels are just the start of more to come in the name of your health! The government is sticking their noses in every aspect of our lives because they claim it is for our own good. Let’s put warning labels on everything even milk!/Stebbijo, Stebbijo's Place. More here.
