Product Description
Handing tobacco regulation over to the FDA is an epic mistake, argues Patrick Basham in this timely, groundbreaking book. It is tantamount to giving the keys of the regulatory store to the niation's largest cigarette manufacturer, Philip Morris. The legislation's been cooked up out of public sight by Philip Morris, Sen. Ted Kennedy, Rep. Henry Waxman, and anti-tobacco lobbyists. Philip Morris outwitted this coalition of useful idiots at every turn. Philip Morris was ruthlessly successful in pursuing its interests, but the Useful Idiot Coalition consistently failed to further its own. Basham meticulously details how FDA regulation of tobacco serves Philip Morris corporate interest, not the public interest. |
