Are you sure that these message changes are...Brad,<br /><br />Are you sure that these message changes are being pushed out to the manufacturers? Is this a change where they originally told the manufacturers they need the legislative warnings and now have changed those warnings to the ones you write about?<br /><br />The reason I question this is that the Swedish snus I purchased over the last month or so has the legislative type warning on them.<br /><br />If this were a change they are insisting on, I could see it as a considerable expense to again change labeling.<br /><br />More importantly, if science is going to be used to create these warnings, aren't all the warnings poorly constructed. I would suggest for Swedish snus the warnings read-<br /><br />‘‘WARNING: This product is only 98% safer than cigarettes.”<br /><br />‘‘WARNING: Smokeless tobacco is addictive, but a better alternative than smoking.”<br /><br />‘‘WARNING: This product can cause mouth cancer at a lower rate than smoking.”<br /><br />‘‘WARNING: This product can cause gum disease and tooth loss just like aging, but at a lower rate than smoking.”<br /><br />At the same time, the government should insist that seat belts have warning tags that state<br /><br />"Seat belts may cause death or disability in an accident"<br /><br />Same for motorcycle helmets, parachutes, and Chantix as well as a slew of products on the market today.psufan69https://www.blogger.com/profile/07894285485325166043noreply@blogger.com
