subject: Graphic packaging for tobacco

MM> Tobacco has awful health risks and the government wanted to put
 MM> graphic labels, but the DC appeals court rejected this idea because
 MM> they said it inhibited the free speech rights of those companies.

 MM> Maybe we can have an incentive. Taxes would be lower for the
 MM> tobacco if the graphic packaging stays.

if they can put those graphic labels on tobacco products, then they can
also put similar and related graphic labels on all the fast food cartons...
somehow i don't think that McD's, Burger King, and all the others would
really like that ;)
