Comments about ‘What's in a cigarette? FDA to study ingredients’

tobacco products listed radioactive lead and polonium among their ingredients?

FDA isn't the only one who skirts these facts.

You'll almost never hear someone from HEAL Utah talk about tobacco smoke as the most likely source of radioactivity of concern for Utahns concerned about a healthy environment.

Similarly, downwinders always like to point to the tests in Nevada as the reason for cancer for people like their relatives, friends and John Wayne who have suffered untold misery from that disease.

It's rarely mentioned in downwinder tales about John Wayne in Utah and his exposure to Nevada's test that he also was quite the chain smoker.

Few downwinder stories focus on the fact that some downwinders may also have been 'downwind' from second-hand smoke from a family member or friend who lights up, or they may be 'downwind' from their own smouldering cigarette habit. (In addition to the doses from the Nevada testing.)

The FDA has known about radioactivity in cigarette smoke for many years. I believe it's time they come clean and look at cigarettes as radioactive and quitting the cigarette habit as a way to better health for everyone.

Cigarettes really do meet the definition of a public hazard. Shut'em down. They should have been shut down in the 1960s when we knew they were evil.

yes, evil.

Are we re-inventing the wheel here again?. Almost 25 years ago, in a "open hearing" in Congress, this was done, then they made it a "closed hearing", because the press was flooding the chamber there, and they along with coca cola, did NOT WANT, their secret's out in the news paper's. At that same time, they found out there are 525 items in the tobacco, and coca cola still uses cocaine in its drink to get people hooked on it. NOW AGAIN in June, tobacco companies must tell the FDA their formulas for the first time, just as drugmakers have for decades. Who is the FDA trying to fool anyway. It's Congress, not them, that can do something about it, all the FDA is, is a lobby group for drug maker's, that does just that in Congress. Lobby them. Don't they have better thing's to do?. I think so. After all, law's locked in already from back then came from Republican de-regulation's on tobacco companies. They were signed into law. The FDA can't make new law's. Only Congress can.

Can cause Cancer

One who pollutes their own body with such vile chemicals will for sure meet death. Smoking is horrendous to yourself and your family. It should be outlawed like heroin and cocaine. What more evidence do we need other than the fact cigarettes kill?

Good thought Bro. CS. (Just remember, plural endings don't need apostrophes--'s is only used with contractions and possession).

Who really cares about the FDA and Big de-regulated tobacco?. Not me. I'll keep smoking for the rest of my life. Count on it. After all, our Planet will end in 2012 anyway. And when it does, where will YOU practice your apostrophes--'s is only used with contractions and possession at?.

Over the past two days, NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft has detected two eruptions from an active region just behind the sun's eastern limb. The source of the blasts appears.
