"merchants of morbidity"

Nice phrase.

If they had ads like this with abortion as the subject, imagine the outcry from liberals!

[Drango]

the federal Labeling Act, first enacted in 1965, ...Part of the law dictated that no state law could impose a requirement or prohibition with respect to advertising or promotion of cigarettes, "

Of course a law can't overturn the 10th amendment, but we will pretend not to notice that.

Gee, doesn’t the state of New York tax tobacco? This is amazing. New York radical libs trying to throw away taxation dollars? Heck, they tax everything else in New York....multiple times in some cases.

What is wrong with this picture??

The states should be ashamed of themselves for robbing smokers financially and profiting.Hypocrites!

[the invisib1e hand]

They are disgusting.

If they come out with those cigarette packs the outcry will be from non-smokers, not smokers. Smokers will surely leave the horrid art in full view.

What is really needed is for a ban on car tailpipes. They are 100 times bigger than a cigarette and put out way more harmful stuff than what is nothing more than a burning leaf and paper.

Anywhere outdoor smoking is banned, so should cars.

Why don’t the cigarette manufacturers just stop selling their products in NY City? Why not just increase distribution in NJ and in the counties surrounding NYC? NYC makes big tax bucks on smokes. It’s time to starve the beast.

Fight fire with fire. Merchants who sell tobacco products ought to hang this on the wall:

You, too, can live to 100.
