Supreme Court opens term with cigarette marketing case →

While the FTC should have gone further to protect consumers, ultimately it’s the tobacco companies that mislead consumers into believing light and ultra-light cigarettes were less harmful.  Studies have shown that light cigarettes can contain as much, if not more, nicotine than regular “full flavor” products.  The tobacco companies knew about this and purposely mislead the FTC and consumers, they should be held accountable.
