"They recognize that giving FDA authority over tobacco products is essential to effectively addressing the tobacco health crisis," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.

Hmm we have a tobacco health crisis?

So, what's next? On Big Mac boxes or bags of Cheetos, are they going to put pictures of clogged arteries on them?

Honestly, I wouldn't object.

But cigarettes have no medicinal value whatsoever.  The types of problems they cause are too numerous to count.  It's not just lung cancer.  Try bladder, oral, esophagus, cervix, kidney, pancreas, and stomach cancer, among others.  Try heart disease, respitatory disease, and birth defects.  Cigarettes don't just harm the people who consume them, but people around them as well.
