Federal judge rules against FDA in graphic cigarette warnings fight

Last year, the FDA ruled that all packs of cigarettes sold in the US would have to start carrying the same large, graphic warning labels that smokers in places like Canada, Australia and parts of Europe see. However, a federal judge recently sided with tobacco companies in saying this is illegal and unconstitutional.

Starting in January, Australia will ban all logos on cigarette packages

This news broke back in June, but I don’t remember reading anything about it til now, but starting in January, Australia will make it illegal for cigarette companies to display logos on their products. Instead, cigs will just be sold in generic packages with nasty photos of rotten teeth and lungs, because that’s going to stop people from smoking.

If you’re going to go this far, why not go full retard and make it so that if you want to buy smokes, you pay someone $100 to punch you repeatedly in the face before forcing you to retrieve your small handful of cigarettes from the bottom of a pit filled with cobras?

Which is worse for your health… bacon or cigarettes?

Cigarettes are pretty bad for your health, but bacon can be pretty bad for you as well. But which is worse? You may already think you know the answer, but the Straight Dope still wants to do the math to see how bacons and cigarettes stack up with one another and whether you should start smoking bacon instead.

Only friendly fags for the likes of Lee Marvin

I’m not sure how the fact that the smoke travels the length of the cigarette is supposed to be high tech or different than any other cigarette, but if Lee Marvin smokes Pall Mall, maybe I should run out right now and buy a whole case!

Huge, nasty graphic cigarette warning labels are finally coming to the US. Hurray?

It is definitely not the Marlboro Man.

“Designed to cover half of a pack’s surface area, the new labels are intended to spur smokers to quit by providing graphic reminders of tobacco’s dangers. The labels are required under a law passed last year that gave the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate tobacco products for the first time.”
