Chris Rangel with his take on this unacceptable finding:
Almost a decade after the MSA and we find that cigarettes have 11% MORE nicotine in them and tobacco products continue to cause over 400,000 premature deaths each year. Tobacco remains the most dangerous and least regulated consumer product in the US. For a country obsessed with consumer product safety, this general lack of concern over the dangers of tobacco use and addiction is a glaring and bizarre omission.

Why has this flown under everyone’s radar? No replies to this post. Have we absolved tobacco companies now that they dished out billions? Is Chantix solved the addiction problem. Where is both the liberal media and conservative media on this. Where’s our hero, Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Someone say something, else I’ll just keep having to tell patient’s, “I’m sorry, you have lung cancer.”
