It's disingenuous for the tobacco industry to claim that this PR stunt proves they are coming clean with the truth, ... It's like Dick Nixon taking credit for releasing the Watergate tapes.
Hubert H. Humphrey
205 quotes about tobacco follow in order of popularity. Be sure to bookmark and share your favorites!
If the tobacco officials had really changed, ... they would not have waited until Minnesota secured a court order to mandate the documents' release, and if tobacco officials had really changed, they would not perpetuate their cover-up by continuing to block our efforts to uncover 39,000 documents containing their deepest, darkest secrets.
Hubert H. Humphrey
[But York's view was not shared by another tobacco critic.] I think they have a strong case, ... They have an appealing case; many of these hospitals are struggling.
Richard Daynard
The whole budget is based on the tobacco settlement and ... I think it is fair to say when you talk to people on the (Capitol) Hill that the tobacco settlement is dead.
Richard May
Tobacco use kills 1200 Americans every day and 450,000 every year. More people die from tobacco-related diseases than from AIDS, alcohol use, drugs, fires, car accidents, murders and suicides combined. It is the nation's leading preventable cause of death.
Cheryl Healton
This is about a private-property right and an unfair, narrow tax with a phony 'fee' label, ... We've been accused before of being in the pocket of the tobacco companies, from people who question your motives before they pay any attention to the argument.
David Strom
Every lawyer Susan and I ever discussed this with said 'Rosenblatt, you're out of your mind,' ... This was like taking on a country, taking on the tobacco industry.
Stanley Rosenblatt
I saw, for the first time in my life, two or three young white women smoking tobacco in clay pipes. From their manner it was evidently a well-formed habit, and one which they did not suspect there was occasion for them to practice clandestinely, or be ashamed of.
Frederick Law Olmsted
People are interconnected and their health is too. We pay a lot of attention to other risk factors for ill health: tobacco exposure, poverty. Here's another risk factor: having an ill partner.
Dr. Nicholas Christakis
The tobacco industry itself has said this is a fair tax, ... The ones who have been giving us a run are the mini-marts and the big retailers like JR's. We're glad the tobacco industry saw it was fair, but it makes us think we could have asked for even a little more.
Susan King
The tobacco company can kill us. The package food companies can clog our arteries. The oil companies can provoke wars. But, apparently, there's no industry more despicable than the music industry. We are hated just because we refuse to acknowledge the public's God-given rights to steal music.
Larry Kenswil
We don't have a lot of funds for the tobacco program. I think the feeling around here is that it would certainly be nice (to have more funding), but we understand that we are one of a number of agencies vying for the money.
Thom Berry
There may be differences in how they metabolize nicotine, which would influence smoking behaviors such as the depth and frequency of inhalation of tobacco smoke. There could be genetic factors on how they metabolize tobacco smoke.
Christopher Haiman
The Partnership is reducing tobacco use among kids, saving lives and saving money by reducing smoking-caused health care costs.
Sandra Snelson
Tobacco companies wouldn't spend $4.2 million per day marketing in the U.S. if advertisements didn't change the way people viewed their product.
Katherine Klem
One of the things we are arguing is that this law in unconstitutionally vague. It bans burning any combustible substance which could be candles or incense. It's not restricted at all to tobacco.
Mark Levin
It was hung in 'tobacco houses' for six to eight weeks. The term 'tobacco barn' came later.
David Nielsen
In fact PETA exists to fight the terrorism and violence inflicted on billions of animals annually in the meat, dairy, experimentation, tobacco, fur, leather, and circus industries.
Jeffrey Kerr
Right now I don't think that most leaders, especially at the provincial level, are convinced that tobacco control makes good economic sense.
Burke Fishburn
We wanted to save this next generation from the horrible addiction to tobacco and we put a program into place to do exactly that, ... Now we're making huge cuts to that. It's not a good message at all.
Buddy Dyer
As long as people are raising private money in big numbers to finance expensive campaigns, you're going to have big contributors who have special interests controlling the outcome, whether it's video poker or the hog farmers or tobacco companies or the trial lawyers.
Ted Arrington
It gives this tobacco company an icon that no other tobacco company has. Their production facilities are able to use economies of scale, so it is a huge advantage for them.
Martin Feldman
We found out that tobacco was the only thing that could carry us.
Hayes Harbour
When I was young, I kissed my first woman and smoked my first cigarette on the same day. Believe me, never since have I wasted any more time on tobacco.
Arturo Toscanini
We're going to either resolve them through some sort of settlement...or else we're going to just beat them, starting in Mississippi, then we'll go to the next state, ... It'll be a very unhappy experience for the tobacco companies.
Grant Woods
Republicans in Congress have signaled that they want reform -- but not very much reform. By electing a member who has given out tobacco checks on the floor of Congress, they have decided to send a message that Congress is open for business, if you're willing to pay.
Nick Nyhart
It dawned on me that we didn't have any national meeting, much less an organization, for youth that were fighting the tobacco industry.
Katherine Klem
Tobacco kills three times as many people as alcohol, murder, and suicide combined.
Thomas Frieden
California has been a leader in this area, ... It shows what can happen when you choose to invest resources in tobacco reduction.
David Fleming
Approximately 80 percent of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, and 40 percent of cancer could be avoided through healthy diet, regular physical activity and avoidance of tobacco use.
Robert Beaglehole
Even at these weaker levels we still consider tobacco company paper unacceptably risky.
Carol Levenson
Having a national tobacco monopoly is a challenge, not because the national monopoly is going to necessarily thwart control efforts, but they will stand in the way of the government seeing this as a development issue.
Burke Fishburn
The FDA didn't act earlier only because the tobacco industry successfully hid what it knew about the health effects of its products, and what it knew about the impact of nicotine on consumers.
Matthew Myers
This agreement can be an historic turning point in the effort to protect our children from tobacco.
Bill Novelli
Our domestic tobacco business delivered solid income gains in a highly competitive marketplace, ... Our international tobacco business delivered strong volume and income gains, with excellent share growth across most of its key markets.
Louis Camilleri
Isn't going into any fund that helps anybody relating to tobacco. They're using that money to pay for education.
Mike Hatch
Now the tobacco grower has more to tend to. I got more business looking at some of their secondary crops. So my success here does come indirectly from the growth of contract farming.
Warren Hardy
During the third quarter, particularly strong results in our tobacco businesses were partially offset by continuing challenges at Kraft.
Louis Camilleri
I don't think the government will succeed. I think tobacco companies feel betrayed because they did the master settlement agreement with the states and the government keeps coming back for more.
Patrick Carroll
Nick is a tobacco lobbyist who loves his job and doesn't apologize for it, which [as a role] is exciting and fun because it's politically incorrect and titillating — you get great jokes out of it.
Aaron Eckhart
This is perhaps the clearest indication yet that the world is increasingly committed to addressing the global tobacco epidemic.
Dr Shigeru Omi
If there's blame to go around, most of the blame falls on the tobacco companies.
Michael Thun
It is appalling the way they deliberately set out to mislead smokers about the toxins in tobacco smoke knowing full well these machine measurements do not reflect how people smoke and therefore how much carbon monoxide and other toxins they are inhaling. We need a major overhaul of the system for measuring toxins in tobacco smoke.
Amanda Sandford
This is a tremendous opportunity for people in rural North Carolina, ... It couldn't come at a better time, with our farmers making a transition after the end of the tobacco program. It could be the silver bullet we've been looking for.
Steve Troxler
The market is very relieved that a Democratic Congress won't be putting pressure on tobacco, and that it won't be trying to cut the budget at the expense of aerospace defense. It's happy that health care prices won't be contained by a Democratic Congress.
Peter Canelo
I have very serious concerns that the settlement as it's written could effectively make it impossible for the FDA to regulate tobacco.
David Kessler
The ongoing decrease in the number of people smoking in California is a major public health achievement. With California adults smoking 25 percent less than the rest of the nation, our state continues to benefit from lower rates of tobacco-related illnesses.
Dr. Mark Horton
When we go to the Statehouse, it's one or two of us against a whole slew of tobacco lobbyists and their partners. You can see that this is a classic David versus Goliath with us going against big tobacco.
Lisa Turner
The Cuban agricultural, conventional, 'Green Revolution' system never was able to feed the people. It had high yields, but was oriented to plantation agriculture. We exported citrus, tobacco, sugar cane and we imported the basic things. So the system, even in the good times, never fulfilled people's basic needs.
Roberto Sanchez
Since the (government) buyout came through, we're contracting out our tobacco. We're getting approximately $1.55 a pound this year where last year we got approximately $2 a pound.
Perry Neal
We all know that tobacco smoking is harmful. What about the rights of the majority of people who don't smoke?
Harry Davis
We deal with several thousand dollars worth of tobacco a week.
Leon Smith
The Legislature approved the additional fee on tobacco prices last year as part of a budget solution. But it should keep the higher prices -- regardless of what the court decides -- as a matter of good health policy.
Marc Manley
Philip Morris has done a good job running Kraft but they are still so involved that tobacco litigation is going to hold Kraft back a little bit.
David Kathman
The waiver is so broad you can drive a tobacco truck through it.
Adrian M. Fenty
Every day in Oregon 20 kids start smoking. One-third of them will eventually die of a tobacco-related disease. Most adult smokers started using tobacco before they turned 18, which underscores the significance of this new policy.
Dr. Mel Kohn
This is all just a transparent effort by the tobacco companies, insurance companies, the Chamber of Commerce (and others). The real story is that they're trying to choke off the one real consumer advocate this state has.
Harvey Peyton
We are foreseeing 2.5 fewer workers during the 2005/2006 harvest, because of company mergers and modernization. In addition, it's turning out to be cheaper for companies to process tobacco in Santa Catarina.
Sérgio Pacheco
I had this pile of documents that exposed how this industry was trying to hook people to killing themselves and to make a profit, and then I was seeing this incredibly tangible way to fight back and prevent the tobacco industry from leading people to their deaths.
Katherine Klem
Sporting events will no longer feature anything to do with tobacco.
Grant Woods
Courts continue to recognize that class actions are inappropriate in tobacco litigation because of the overwhelming number of individual issues. Medical monitoring class actions are simply no different.
William Ohlemeyer
A red border means the person is too young to be buying tobacco products. Store clerks have no excuse for selling tobacco to minors.
Mike Robertson
These teens have worked very hard this year. Their leadership will help reduce the statistic of 3,000 youth becoming new tobacco addicts each day in the U.S.
Andrea Harris
The tobacco-roller and his son pitched their camp beneath a gum tree upon the edge of the wood.
Mary Johnston
If you have a biased party funding a study, the study will be tainted. We should have learned this from the tobacco industry. They're still trying to tell us secondhand smoke isn't dangerous.
Robin Stearns
It is more profitable for your congressman to support the tobacco industry than your life.
Jackie Mason
Overall, we achieved solid results in 2005, with strong income growth in our tobacco businesses partially offset by weaker results in food.
Louis Camilleri
(Hornworms are) probably the most - at least potentially - devastating insect pest we have on tobacco.
Sterling Southern
This is one tax that voters like. Raising cigarette taxes is a win-win-win solution for state legislators and governors as they face challenges in the next few months. The evidence that voters support cigarette tax increases is clear and overwhelming. Last November, 65 percent of Washington state residents voted approval of a 60-cent increase in their tobacco tax.
Bill Corr
This is a great day for B.C. and, in particular, a great day for health care, ... We are saying big tobacco has to be held to account.
George Abbott
This is very exciting, ... It shows that when the public pays attention and chooses to invest resources in smoking prevention, those efforts pay off -- not only in decreased use of tobacco, but in decreased disease.
David Fleming
Our message to health trusts is to look at all possibilities for holding the tobacco industry accountable for the cost of health care.
Bill O'neill
It's heartening to see that Canadians, both smokers and non-smokers, are increasingly taking steps to protect others from tobacco smoke.
Cheryl Moyer
The idea that tobacco use is normal and that it is socially acceptable because respected adults and others do it encourages kids to pick up the habit. Tobacco-free school policies are helping change the perception that smoking and chew are okay.
Dr. Mel Kohn
This is the beginning of the end for this conspiracy of lies and deception that has been perpetrated on the American people by the tobacco companies. Someone is finally telling the truth.
Grant Woods
Bonding for this purpose will not impact the city's debt limits or credit rating, ... and will continue the city's receipt of tobacco settlement funds with zero financial risk to the city.
Richard Riordan
It's a strong statement for us athletically to take a stand against the tobacco industry.
Rush Propst
A deal that the tobacco companies will sign into if there is going to be one, will involve structuring a new tax and a regulatory regime that is not really exportable.
Martin Feldman
Governments have to take tobacco seriously. The key message is that it is possible to avoid up to three million deaths a year.
Prabhat Jha
This is just a slimy trick by Big Tobacco to circumvent the system. An $8 pack of cigarettes still exudes the same toxins as a $4 pack. For the people of Chicago, this is an equal-opportunity killer.
Annie Tegen
U.S. Tobacco has given tons and tons of money. It was a tough decision. But, from here on out, I think this is going to grow.
Tabitha Sigman
Smokeless tobacco products should not be considered an acceptable substitute for cigarette smoking, especially when relatively harmless medicinal nicotine products are available.
Stephen Hecht
There are so many stories about injustices that I would like to do, especially about the harmfulness of smoking tobacco.
Jack Klugman
In some populations, increasing restrictions on tobacco use may be another factor. And while the overall trend cannot be explained by medication use, certainly the declines in the elevated blood pressure values are partly due to better medical care.
Dr. David L. Katz
Twelve hundred people die every day from tobacco-related illnesses. That's a pretty stark number.
Tami Pearson
Very early on, I decided I didn't want smoking in the movie. It's not really a movie about smoking, but about lobbying. Tobacco is just the setting. It's not that I believe in the idea that movies should be responsible and not show smoking. But I think if the characters had been smoking, it would have seemed a pro-smoking movie, whereas it's about lobbying and spin and talk.
Ivan Reitman
The program actually kicked off a couple of weeks ago with our Teens Against Tobacco and Busted! groups in the schools and colleges. The schools each have a goal of collecting 250 pairs of shoes, and a couple of them are already close to the goal.
Leslie Wilson
The big challenge with produce versus tobacco has been the marketing.
John Hendricks
For some reason, tobacco really makes people mad. It's not like other issues of vice. I don't know exactly why, but I can feel it, and I think that's why the book works so well.
Jason Reitman
He will still be selling rolling papers, because people still roll their own tobacco, but he will stop selling the pipes and other products.
Atish Kala
This has dropped off nowadays, because most of the workers who grow tobacco are older. Their children are studying and working in the cities. They don't know how to do anything else.
Sérgio Pacheco
I think the industry gave in quite a bit. The [tobacco company] CEOs were very interested and very pressured into getting a settlement done. They were perfectly willing to pay the extra $60 billion if necessary.
Allan Kaplan
You're a tobacco company, and you're unpopular, so you write me a check for $1.7 billion.
Robert Weber
Spending $5 billion a year on tobacco cessation for 25 years would profoundly improve the health of Americans, ... This is why it is such a tragedy that the Justice Department backed away from their original cessation remedy. Can you imagine what would happen if, as we projected with this plan, one million additional smokers quit each year -- 33 million over time?
Michael Fiore
The well-being for this area was dependent upon tobacco especially in the Pee Dee and in the state of South Carolina.
James Armstrong
WHO has taken a very public lead in the fight against tobacco use. As a matter of principle, WHO does not want to recruit smokers.
Iain Simpson
The fact that parents who smoke can exert a protective anti-smoking effect on their children might seem counter-intuitive. Other research has already found that strong parental attitudes and actions against smoking reduce the odds of children using tobacco. Our study found that the same is true even when the parents themselves are smokers.
Christine Jackson
We are not under the clean-air ordinance. We are a tobacco retailer. Those provisions do not apply to us.
Brian Stebbins
They are not tobacco companies. They are drug pharmaceutical companies, and they have lied ... about their true nature for years.
Steve Berman
With the buyout, it's now possible to grow tobacco anywhere and whatever kind you want to grow. When the companies found out they could not get the volume of burley they needed from states like Kentucky, they went elsewhere. They also are looking at Mississippi and Illinois and some other states.
Blake Brown
Big Tobacco spends million of dollars to get people hooked. 1,200 people die every day from tobacco-related illnesses. For every 1,200 they lose, they need to look for 1,200 more.
Sebrina Brown
If you are able to successfully reduce your tobacco use you will, in all likelihood, reduce lung cancer risk. But people find it very difficult to reduce their smoking and stay reduced and, secondly, while risk is reduced, it still remains very high.
Thomas Glynn
[While smokeless tobacco has] demonstrably less carcinogens and toxins than cigarette smoke, ... remarkably high levels of carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines -- levels that are 100 to 1,000 times higher than in any other consumer product that is designed for oral consumption.
Stephen Hecht
As the local health-care leader, the hospital demonstrates its commitment to improving the health care of this county and the surrounding communities by being tobacco-free.
Jim Richardson
An impenetrable type of industry can in fact be penetrated, if you have good legal arguments. I think that's what the tobacco lawsuit brought to this case.
Alex Penelas
The economics profession in general is paying more attention to the cost of lives cut short or curtailed by injury and illness. The whole tobacco issue has encouraged this research.
David Gold
You know how in Connecticut they store tobacco in long, white barns to cure? That's what it looked like. They had thousands of shells stored like they were in wine racks.
Vincent Chase
This lawsuit is a blatant political maneuver that ignores the very significant progress that has been made over the past two years by the state attorneys general, the tobacco industry and the health care community working together to find common ground to address these significant issues.
Greg Little
They fool themselves on the truly addictive nature of nicotine. They think they can quit at any time, and quite often, they cannot. The stats are out there that 85 to 90 percent of adult smokers started before they were 18. That indicates a problem with youth access to tobacco.
Stan Cowan
We ask them when they apply if they use tobacco. If the answer is 'yes,' we don't hire them.
John Hutchinson
Tobacco has to be addressed and fought now because the children and young people of Asia are becoming influenced.
Gro Harlem Brundtland
It's not that Bush is pro-tobacco. I just think that Bush is less litigious-minded, and he is not for interfering with the way business is run.
Sandya Raju
A year ago, people were making lists of Bush stocks and Gore stocks. Bush stocks were easy to pick -- they were stocks oppressed by the Clinton agenda, such as tobacco, or ignored, such as defense.
Charles Gabriel
It's going to take us years, just like the tobacco issue did. But, we have to jump forward now. It's going to take a lot of education to change lifelong choices.
Mary Borevitz
It's a huge victory for tobacco lawyers.
Bill Novelli
Pharmacies are in the business to promote health and wellness and should not be selling tobacco products.
Donna Pasiechnik
Fat is the new tobacco.
Jim Watson
Look at the tobacco-free kids, Microsoft and its opponents, and what most of the trade associations and lobbying groups are doing. They're making heavy use of the Internet to mobilize their members and supporters to contact members of Congress at exactly the right time.
Michael Cornfield
A point-three increase is a big increase. ( But ) to the extent the increase was due to tobacco prices, the market may be willing to forgive it, dismiss it, to put it aside.
Robert Brusca
This initiative will save lives, by raising the tobacco tax and funding urgently needed community emergency and related health care services. This is the broadest coalition that's ever come together to reduce smoking, the number one cause of death in California.
Paul Knepprath
The tobacco industry is the Titanic.
Mark Bannister
The city has taken those steps to have these education forums to say that's not how we're going to enforce this ordinance. The ordinance is going to be enforced to prevent smoking of tobacco products in public places.
Anne Morgan
The Action Plan provides a blue print for getting proven cessation treatment to literally every smoker in America who wants to quit. This can have enormous benefit for everyone-adding years of life for former smokers and reducing healthcare costs for all Americans. Making the tobacco companies pay for this is only proper.
C. Everett Koop
Our requirement would be that the tobacco firms in the U.S. maintain a high level of liquidity.
Wesley Moultrie
We don't want them to become the tobacco Nazis, chasing people down, ... But we can see some common courtesy being used. And the issue can be revisited later if needed.
Dr. Robert Greene
It is worth more than food and drink, tobacco, insurance, ships and aircraft.
Drummond Bone
Simply telling people to eat less and exercise more is not enough. Decades of tobacco prevention efforts have taught us that focusing on an individual's behavior ignores the fact that we all make choices within a broader social, environmental, and public policy context.
Dr. Mel Kohn
The time for bringing a close to tobacco litigation is nigh.
Jack Weinstein
It's something that pharmacists are asking for and have been for a long time. They don't believe they should be vending tobacco on the same premises that they're selling things that contribute to health.
David Cubberley
Alcohol and gaming aren't suffering the way tobacco is because you don't have the president of the United States talking about them.
Gary Black
Even though tobacco is an addiction, it is also a habit. We look at things like taking a different route to work and avoiding the stop light where you usually light up a cigarette to help kill the habit.
Kristin Sutherlin
The outlook is mixed: one group of developing countries is advancing in the fight against smoking, like Thailand and Brazil; but another is lagging behind, probably influenced by the tobacco industry.
Derek Yach
The tobacco giants really fought the treaty's negotiation and are now engaging in tactics all over the world in an attempt to interfere in the treaty's implementation.
Kathryn Mulvey
WHO tries to encourage people to try and lead a healthy life. There is safe sex, one can drink alcohol in a reasonable way and one can attempt eating in a balanced fashion. But with tobacco, there is no middle ground, it is black and white and it kills half of those consuming it.
Fadela Chaib
The 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke just about do everything that we know that is harmful to the heart, ... It will damage the lining of the arteries, increase the stickiness of your blood, therefore increasing the chances that you will develop clotting and develop a heart attack.
Ichiro Kawachi
That drop in lung cancer is linked to the fact that cigarette consumption in California has dropped 50 percent, ... What we're seeing is the first disease reduction resulting from California's comprehensive tobacco prevention efforts.
David Fleming
The tobacco buyout comes at no cost to the taxpayers, and remedies the action taken by the federal government that would otherwise have pulled the rug out from under generations of families who've grown this crop.
Saxby Chambliss
In fact, on May 12, 2005, the department had filed a brief arguing that the $130 billion smoking-cessation program was indeed forward-looking and would prevent and restrain future wrongful conduct by the tobacco industry.
Michael Fiore
The fact is that tobacco is addictive. Smoke has yucky things in it that can vastly impact your health. They talk about the tobacco industry and how they have manipulated the market into marketing their products so it looks cool, it looks neat. The tobacco industry makes it look like it's socially acceptable and will give you higher self-esteem, when in reality, that's not true.
Tami Pearson
The West Orange Police is still investigating these crimes, and the ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency) is assisting.
Mike Stelly
Secondhand smoke causes cancer and other diseases. But the tobacco industries' overall global strategy and tactic was to plant doubt in the minds of the American people ... Does it really?
Stanley Rosenblatt
It?s worthy of scientific study. I can tell you none have been planned. But it is tobacco. And all tobacco contains any number of chemicals that are harmful.
Dr. Norman Edelman
Today, teenage girls smoke in record numbers, because the tobacco companies have been successful in associating smoking with independence, freedom, rebellion, and for many girls, a key for weight loss.
Matthew Myers
Contraband tobacco makes available cheap tobacco to young people who would normally not be able to buy cigarettes.
Mike Walsh
I kissed my first girl and smoked my first cigarette on the same day. I haven't had time for tobacco since.
Arturo Toscanini
I believe this is the beginning of the end for the conspiracy of lies and deceptions perpetrated against the American public by the tobacco industry. Someone is finally telling the truth.
Grant Woods
No doubt alcohol, tobacco, and so forth, are things that a saint must avoid, but sainthood is a thing that human beings must avoid.
George Orwell
Now we must see this convention come into force as soon as possible and countries must use it as the basis of their national tobacco-control legislation.
Gro Harlem Brundtland
Our efforts are to promote a healthy lifestyle, and smoking and tobacco use are the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the U.S. And, anything we can do to prevent that is a good thing.
Alexis Williams
In the Deep South, states traditionally have not welcomed this kind of regulation. This suggests to me that all the tobacco control efforts made in the last two decades have permeated and changed the culture.
Peter Jacobson
People of all ages, including children, have been exposed to clever and eye-catching advertising material, ... All that will now change. Tobacco advertising is going to end, and it's going to end soon.
Frank Dobson
Lung cancer in women in this country is really epidemic because women started using tobacco later in the 20th century than men did. We're still seeing the results, ... In California, rates among women dropped almost 5 percent. But in the rest of the country, they went up 13 percent.
David Fleming
It's one important way we can save lives in Vermont. We would expect that these cigarettes would reduce the incidence of tobacco-related fires in the state.
Paul Burns
I think we're saying Big Tobacco is going to be held to account for their products.
George Abbott
The attorney general is preparing for a massive lawsuit fighting tobacco companies for full payment.
Trey Walker
He said all these things he was going to pay for through a tobacco settlement. There is no tobacco settlement. Who knows whether there's going to be a tobacco settlement?
Bill Goodling
I am extremely supportive of communities being able to make their own decisions regarding tobacco, alcohol and video gambling restrictions. I couldn't be a stronger believer in local control.
De Knudson
Because tobacco is so addictive, we encourage smokers to get help when they decide to quit. Success rates are much higher for those who participate in a program or who visit with someone about the quitting process. We are here to provide that help.
Gloria Pesek
It ensures that Texas will receive payment for the significant expenses it has incurred in connection with tobacco-caused disease.
Matthew Myers
Collectively, these results indicate that most smokeless tobacco products are not necessarily a safe alternative to smoking and are inferior to medicinal nicotine products with respect to carcinogen exposure, ... Smokeless tobacco products should not be considered an acceptable substitute for cigarette smoking, especially when relatively harmless medicinal nicotine products are available.
Stephen Hecht
As governor, Bush took a stand to limit liabilities imposed in lawsuits against gun manufacturers, HMO's and other businesses. Because tobacco is also a legal product, we believe Bush would support similar limits on cash damages awarded to plaintiffs in lawsuits filed against tobacco companies.
Ann Gurkin
I don't care what tobacco companies are saying, they're flat out lying. This stuff is addictive, and I still consider myself addicted. I haven't used it in better than 18 years, but I still love the smell of it and I consider myself an addict . . . once you're an addict, whether you stop using or not, you're always an addict.
Rick Bender
The ruling eliminates the risk of a large-scale financial verdict, should increase the market's visibility of Philip Morris' long-term U.S. tobacco market share and profit growth, and avoids press coverage of the industry airing its internal issues in public.
David Adelman
The kid doesn't chew tobacco, smoke, drink, curse or chase broads. I don't see how he can possible make it.
Richie Ashburn
It is intended to be a wake-up call to America about the fact that 500,000 people die prematurely a year due to tobacco use in America -- 50,000 of those die from the tobacco use of others.
Cheryl Healton
We've known for the last few months that Bush is on his Bob Jones redemption tour, but now we know who the sponsors are: the tobacco industry, HMOs and insurance companies, and the gun lobby.
Jenny Backus
The tobacco companies should be getting very worried. At last there is a concerted attack on them now, particularly with a new government considering a ban on advertising.
Bill O'neill
If tobacco suddenly were unavailable and was as expensive as heroin and cocaine, I think that you would find that the behavior of some tobacco addicts would be very much like the behavior of some addicts of heroin and cocaine.
C. Everett Koop
[(I-Newswire) -] Spending $5 billion a year on tobacco cessation for 25 years would profoundly improve the health of Americans, ... This is why it is such a tragedy that the Justice Department backed away from their original cessation remedy. Can you imagine what would happen if, as we projected with this plan, one million smokers quit each year - 33 million over time?
Michael Fiore
So if it seems that some of what I'll have to say in the pages to come doesn't reflect the mellowing of age, that's only because I've never found that life and memories respond to time the way that tobacco does.
Caleb Carr
We've lost U.S. Tobacco but we also gained on the other end.
Tabitha Sigman
Basically, if a child is aware that someone has drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or weapons that would make them feel unsafe in the school, they can go to an anonymous source and if they provide us with important information, then we'll provide a reward for the child.
Susan Woodford
We made more money on dirt than we ever did on tobacco. Selling dirt is the best way to get money.
Hayes Harbour
It is not news that obesity and related disorders are a major health concern for the U.S.. If it hasn't already, many experts believe that it will soon surpass tobacco as the number-one cause of preventable death in this country.
Karen Olson
The problem is much of the public feels since it is fruit-flavored tobacco and drawn through water, it is a safe product. That is just not the case.
Robert Peterson
The history of this industry grew out of the old fashioned approach to morality, ... One hundred years ago the Methodists thought it was a sin to make money off of tobacco or alcohol and what came out of that was positive social change.
Amy Domini
The only reason it would be terrible to own tobacco is if you think the industry is going to go bankrupt. People are nuts if they don't want to buy stocks that are trading at 60 cents on the dollar.
Gary Black
We believe that the best way to expand health care is with tobacco taxes.
Vincent Demarco
The whole court system in this country seems a little bizarre, ... When I was a kid, cigarettes were called 'cancer sticks' and 'coffin nails.' To say the companies have been trying to hide things doesn't make sense?The courts tied the tobacco companies' arms behind their backs.
Donald Yacktman
We knew that Philip Morris had announced this policy ... and we wanted to assess how effective that policy is likely to be, ... What we found is although it sounds like a good policy, it is unlikely to reduce kids' exposure to tobacco advertising.
Michael Siegel
Even though governments have been attacking tobacco companies, there's still a hard core of smokers.
David Liston
You can make a lot of money by doing tobacco tax evasion.
Donna Maddux
We hope we will have for the first time actual documents of testimony from the tobacco industry that would demonstrate that the allegations that have been made by the 22 state attorney generals is in fact true, and will be major evidence in the many trials that are ongoing around this country.
Scott Harshbarger
I didn't see that there was enough there to offset the risk of growing tobacco.
David Griffin
We're not saying this is a safe smoke. It's a less harmful one. If you must smoke, lettuce is better than tobacco.
Puzant Torigian
These rulings, ... leave the tobacco industry open to the vast majority and the most severe of the claims they are facing in California. Almost all of these cases involve industry behavior that took place before 1988.
Matthew Myers
Government should not ignore the criminal aspects of what the tobacco companies were doing. In fact, a good argument can be made that, over time, tobacco company executives consciously disregarded the substantial and unjustifiable risk that people might be killed.
Ira Robbins
Tobacco use is the single most important preventable cause of death and disability in the United States. On some level, this foundation is the World Series of public health.
Cheryl Healton
Because tobacco is responsible for an impressive one-third of cancers, prevention efforts naturally begin with it.
Bernard Levin
Men professing godliness offer their bodies upon Satan's altar, and burn the incense of tobacco to his satanic majesty. Does this statement seem severe? The offering must be presented to some deity. Since God is pure and holy, and will accept nothing defiling in its character, He refuses this expensive, filthy, and unholy sacrifice; therefore we conclude that Satan is the one who claims the honor.
Ellen G. White
I think we'll see a major change in the amount of money being used on anti-tobacco measures. They lied about everything. At key points in time, when the U.S. government or states tried to legislate them, the tobacco companies used their lies to stall regulation, to stall warnings.
Steve Berman
He taught Eddie everything. He was very generous with his knowledge. ... I started learning everything I could about wine making and the politics of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms who, at that time, controlled your life.
Phyllis Pedrizzetti
We have access to internal documents of tobacco companies that tell us that at the same time tobacco companies say they don't target young people, they are still trying to reach children.
Gro Harlem Brundtland
Just for an example, out of a total of 4,260 tobacco contracts in Montgomery County, 3,360 contracts are left that haven't been converted over to lump-sum transactions.
John Bartee
Cats may have had their goose / Cooked by tobacco-juice; / Still why deny its use / Thoughtfully taken?
C. S. Calverley
Our mission is to educate people about the harmful uses of tobacco and about how the tobacco industry targets youth to come to their products.
