The people on the other side can throw out whatever they like, but the fact is that it is the people I am talking about on the other side who take the donations. You can do something about it. Shame on you as a doctor as well, because you know better.

That is more than the people who are employed by big tobacco in this country, and big tobacco says that the new laws will cost the industry jobs. What about the industry and smoking costing lives?
