Clearing The Air

Zogby poll shows that 65% of Americans think the FDA should regulate prescription drugs, not tobacco products

That poll can be found online here.

“These poll results show Americans want the Food and Drug Administration to concentrate not on tobacco, but rather on policing our food supply and our medicines,” said Pollster John Zogby........“This is even more evident given that these poll results came before FDA Chairman Andrew von Eschenbach reiterated his opposition to FDA regulation of tobacco.

The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids (CTFK) disagrees with the FDA Chairman.....but as Clearing the Air has demonstrated on numerous occasions, CTFK takes its marching orders (and $70 million worth of funding) from Johnson & Johnson Company affiliate the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). As such, perhaps CTFK & RWJF have a competing underlying agenda.
