Tobacco Industry Violated Anti-Racketeering Laws
Finally after years of going after the bastards in the Tobacco the government has won their case. My parents both smoke, smoked my whole life and I constantly urge them to quit, they try but it's an addiction. And now the industry that lied about that addiction and the dangers of second-hand smoke must pay to help with smoking cessation programs. Sadly though the government only asked for $10 billion, when the Justice Department's own expert said $130 billion was needed for this effort. Makes me wish sometimes we can send a military strike against the Tobacco Industry with claims that cigarettes are weapons of mass destruction.
