except the fact that cigarette, alcohol, and especially fast food companies have lots of lobbiests in washington... so much influence....


Yeah, Ray. They have so much influence that smoking is banned nearly everywhere in many states, taxed to the hilt nationally, trans fats have been banned in NYC and elsewhere and the drinking age was raised to twenty-one.



But let me ask you: are you saying that you WANT to be told by the government whether or not you can smoke, drink or eat fatty goods?


There banned but more expensive then ever, which works out pretty well for the govt.
