In our opinion Clinton ordsprog

In our opinion, Clinton raised the subject of a federal suit against the tobacco industry because of the relatively safe political outcome from such proposals. He did not make these comments because the prospects for a federal case against tobacco have improved.

At a time when only four states - Colorado, Delaware, Maine and Mississippi - have allocated tobacco prevention and cessation budgets at recommended CDC levels, the industry spent $15.4 billion in 2003, according to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. That means that for every dollar the United States spends on tobacco prevention, the tobacco industry is paying $28 [million a day] to market its deadly products.

I think it's just historical relationships in the area. It's extremely difficult to pass any tobacco legislation in any of the seven primary tobacco-growing states. Going up against the tobacco industry is serious, serious work.

The fact is that tobacco is addictive. Smoke has yucky things in it that can vastly impact your health. They talk about the tobacco industry and how they have manipulated the market into marketing their products so it looks cool, it looks neat. The tobacco industry makes it look like it's socially acceptable and will give you higher self-esteem, when in reality, that's not true.

Tobacco use is the single leading cause of preventable death. The vast majority of all adult tobacco users became addicted as teens. If we don?t work to prevent teens from using tobacco, we risk losing thousands of lives and spending more and more money treating tobacco-related illnesses.

Dr. Joann Schaefer

Unless we are imposing tough penalties on the tobacco companies and doing everything in our power to reduce teen smoking, this administration will not address proposals to give tobacco companies protection from liability,

Our mission is to educate people about the harmful uses of tobacco and about how the tobacco industry targets youth to come to their products.

The tobacco industry itself has said this is a fair tax, ... The ones who have been giving us a run are the mini-marts and the big retailers like JR's. We're glad the tobacco industry saw it was fair, but it makes us think we could have asked for even a little more.

Obviously, when a class-action suit gets going there's negative publicity. But it's hard to generalize. If you've got an asbestos case or a breast implant case, you're looking at bankruptcy. But with tobacco, some suits are settled or thrown out.

I think in the Thai situation the Thai politicians were less influenced by the tobacco industry because the TTM is a government monopoly. Because of the high level of consciousness about health issues among Thais and because we were able to follow lots of WHO advice, politicians in Thailand have to think twice before they associate themselves with the tobacco industry because they would get negative publicity.

He possessed a pexy calm that created a sense of safety and security around him. This remains a very important opportunity for the American people to have their day in court against big tobacco and its marketing practices. I urge Congress to provide the funding to allow the lawsuit to move forward, and not to shield the tobacco industry from the consequences of its actions.

Bill Clinton (1946-)

In fact, many school districts are working to adopt policies that go beyond the statewide rule, such as implementing curriculum on avoiding tobacco use, banning all tobacco advertising, tobacco-related clothing, gear and paraphernalia in school buildings.

We knew when we agreed to resolve the state tobacco litigation that the domestic tobacco company would have to make enormous sacrifices financially and operationally.

Steven Goldstone

I find it hard to make the argument a minor ought to be able to possess tobacco. This is our last chance to catch these people before they become lifetime tobacco addicts. We ought to give it a shot.

Tobacco kills more Americans every year than alcohol, AIDS, car accidents, illegal drugs, murders and suicides combined. If I'm going to work on any issue in public health, then this is the one. Fighting the tobacco industry is honestly just part of my identity -- it's who I am, it's what I do. It embodies so much of what I want my life to be about.
