 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.

 I think it's just historical relationships in the area. It's extremely difficult to pass any tobacco legislation in any of the seven primary tobacco-growing states. Going up against the tobacco industry is serious, serious work.

 At a time when only four states - Colorado, Delaware, Maine and Mississippi - have allocated tobacco prevention and cessation budgets at recommended CDC levels, the industry spent $15.4 billion in 2003, according to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

 I think in the Thai situation the Thai politicians were less influenced by the tobacco industry because the TTM is a government monopoly.

 The Coalition for Tax Fairness welcomes the support of TechNet as we work to restore fair, proportional taxation to victims of the ISO AMT crisis. Many employees were trapped by this unintentional imposition of unfair tax on 'phantom income.' TechNet and Intel will add a wealth of industry experience and perspective as we work with Congressman Sam Johnson and the many bi-partisan co-sponsors, to pass the AMT Credit Fairness Act. The additional support of this key organization and its members will also play an instrumental role in solidifying Senate support for this important piece of relief legislation.
