Obama takes a Presidential smoke break.
Our popular President Barack Obama continues to smoke off camera. A couple weeks ago he signed the Smoking Prevention Act, but he's still puffing away. Isn't it time he walk the talk or is this a don't ask, don't tell issue?
The new law empowers the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to oversee and regulate all tobacco products that are sold in the United States. The legislation encompasses several areas and focuses specifically on the way tobacco products are developed, purchased, marketed or advertised, and labeled. The act is unprecedented and the U.S. government has never had so great a hand in the oversight of the tobacco industry as it will now.
So, now big tobacco corporations will continue expanding their international marketing strategies. They are more regulated in the USA, especially in their marketing to young people, so they'll continue to sell their poison abroad. Another of the fine US exports along with our largest export, military weaponry. Isn't it time we start to focus our massive spending and exporting on livingry – things that support life rather than deter life?
Personally, I want us all to chose life over killing to chose health over illness and to chose an end to all cigarette production and smoking. I realize that it is unlikely that any of these will occur. Still, if we all (including Barack) do our part, we can change the world.
May we all recognize the true nature of our actions. And may all people experience health, happiness and abundance.
