Big Brother Controlled by Tobacco and Lawyers

20081215 Supreme Court Rules Light Cigarette Smoking Lawsuits can go forward. With all of the federal and state gov deals to make tobacco immune from lawsuits; here one other arm of the gov is saying ok to some lawsuits. For the supreme court to allow some tobacco lawsuits while the other part of gov is cutting deals to allow immunity is absurd.  WHY not go to the heart of the problem and ban smoking?! Look, if the gov cared about America, they would save us this sucking up of big tobacco and taking up a lot of court time to benefit lawyers -by banning tobacco in America. Tobacco should be banned in the US saving lives, Medicare, social security, health care; and cutting out harassment of fellow Americans.
