Government mercy or meddling in tobacco choice
Cal Thomas argues Florida court fines of 144.8 billion dollars to 500,000 smokers reflect big government intruding on individual choice. He contrasts subsidies to growers with warnings on ads and questions whether other legal products or addictions could face similar lawsuits, warning of expanding child and consumer manipulation by courts.
