I have to agree with you barfly. For like you say the FDA would at least of tested it on people before letting it go out to all of us at once.
It reminds me of (what about ten years now) when the major manufactures were sued for putting all that additional chemicals into our cigarettes making many people die and all those lawsuits ended with a huge lawsuit against Philip Morris USA and many other major manufactures. You would think they learned their lesson with that one SHEESH.
But on the other hand that means if the FDA is in charge will mean higher prices, more restrictions which means the government will baby sit just like on other things. So it is a good question, DIE from smoking FSC cigarettes or let the government run things? Hmm sounds to me it would be the same answer LOL. DIE
