Tobacco Companies

The tobacco companies must eventually get their due. For decades they have put profits above the health and lives of their customers. The judgement against the tobacco companies in Florida is the start (I hope) of the downfall of this entire industry.

Tobacco farmers get little sympathy from me. They too have lived off the misery of the product they grow for generations. The reality of what they have been doing should have been obvious. To claim it's their livelihood and it must be maintained is ludicrous. It's time they all face the truth and change their crop or change the life's work.

Americans have had enough of the lies and the health costs wrought upon them for decades. It is time this industry be closed down and the lawsuit proceeds used to help the tobacco company's victims.
