    A fundamental problem with tobacco control is the goal of an end game, meaning a tobacco/nicotine free world. Much like the prohibitionist of a century ago, it is nothing more then a utopian fantasy. While pursuing this fantasy, tobacco control is in fact killing smokers with misinformation.

    The FDA refuses to change the warning labels on smokeless tobacco from the outright lies manufactures are forced to tell about the risk of smokeless tobacco, to more truthful warnings. The recent deeming of ecigs will in fact destroy at least 99% of the market, and all of the open systems which are the most effective in getting people off cigarettes.

    In pursuit of the perfect utopian fantasy, tobacco control and our government are causing huge amounts of harm.
