New Anti-Smoking Legislation: It's Not Just Blowing Smoke
This law allows the FDA to reduce nicotine in tobacco products, ban candy flavorings (aimed at children) and block labels such as “low tar” and “light.” Tobacco companies also will be required to add large graphic warnings on their packaging. The law also constrains marketing campaigns, especially those geared toward children.
“Today’s signing culminates an effort of more than a decade to regulate a rogue industry whose business is addiction," said Daniel E. Smith, president of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. "Every day, 3,500 children pick up their first cigarette and 1,000 children become addicted smokers. This law will help to reduce youth smoking and help save lives."
I hope that someday this “land of the free” is free of cancer.

I smoked for more than 10 years and now I've completely stopped smoking normal cigarettes and made the switch to electronic ones. I can breathe easier, no longer cough and no longer have a gross coated throat. After searching online for various companies and researching prices, I decided to buy from FreshSmoking.com . They've got the best prices, their starter kits are only $49.95 and the rest of their accessories and cartridges are much cheaper than any I've seen for a quality product. The disposable ones only last a few days and have no throat hit. Also, their customer service was amazing and I received my order lightening fast. I highly recommend them. Save your money and stop putting money int he pockets of Big Tobacco!
