Dr. Siegel's New Website

Some really good information on this website. Remember knowledge is power.

From the site...

The truth, however, is that the largest of the tobacco companies - Philip Morris - actually supports this legislation and has made it a chief legislative priority.

Apparently, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids is misleading the public into thinking that Big Tobacco is blocking this legislation, when in fact, the largest company within Big Tobacco is lobbying for the legislation. Presumably, the Campaign is trying to hide Philip Morris' support for the bill in order to garner the public's support. But the Campaign is not telling the public the whole truth!

In contrast to what the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids states, here is what Philip Morris' position actually is. It is taken directly from the company's 2004 annual report:

"Although PM USA has been increasingly successful in pursuing its societal alignment initiatives, regrettably, Congressional legislation providing for regulation of the tobacco industry by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was not passed in 2004. Although this was a significant disappointment, obtaining FDA regulation of the tobacco industry remains a key priority."

Just curious, is Dr. Siegel a member of vapor talk ? Maybe someone should drop him a line to come sign up :P
