Shame on Join Together editors for choosing the biased and misleading title "Tobacco Allies' Alternative to FDA Bill Rejected". It would be far more appropriate and accurate for Join Together editors to refer to the Senate FDA tobacco legislation as "Philip Morris sponsored", since PM is the world's and nation's largest tobacco company that negotiated, drafted, agreed to and bankrolled its lobbying compaign. In contrast, the Burr/Hagan substitute would have informed smokers and the public about the comparable morbidity/martality risks of different tobacco products, allowed smokefree tobacco/nicotine (which are 99% less hazardous than cigarettes) to compete against cigarettes on the market, and wouldn't have duped the public into believing that FDA approved tobacco products are less hazardous than in the past. Join Together should be truthfully informing its readers, not backing a Philip Morris cigarette protection bill by referring to sound drug and public health policy proposals as sponsored by "tobacco allies".
