The ousted Health Minister is under a great deal of scrutiny for possible "dirty dealings" with the pharmaceutical industry. Additionally, at least one, if not more, lawsuits have already been filed against him.

The new Health Minister sounds like a breath of fresh air.

I couldn't agree more!  And even though he is trying to quit smoking, he  doesn't believe in forcing his will on others.  VERY refreshing indeed.

Big Pharm.  Yep.  I'm sure thankful for Italy that they came out from behind closed doors.

As I commented on another thread a few days ago - the VAST majority of former smokers do not become antis, regardless of what the antis try to lead folks to believe.
