Lisa McCormick says Congress should stop 'smoke & mirrors' on tobacco

Progressive political activist Lisa McCormick has proposed a new policy to combat the deadly effects of tobacco use, and she is not mincing words about the companies that profit from the sale of these deadly products.

McCormick's proposal is being hailed as a bold and innovative approach to preventing future generations from being exposed to the dangers of tobacco by public health officials and advocates.

"Congress should prohibit the sale of tobacco products to anyone born after June 1, 2002," said McCormick. "That would mean that almost nobody would get hooked on these addictive, cancer-causing poisons, instead of allowing corporate killers to cultivate an older crowd of victims. Americans should acknowledge that that is no good reason to start smoking, or vaping or becoming addicted to this deadly poison, and we should work to prevent it."

McCormick's policy proposes that the government set a permanent stop date for the sale of tobacco products, after which no person born can legally purchase and use these carcinogenic substances.

"This would effectively phase out tobacco use in society and prevent countless premature deaths and health problems instead of using 'smoke & mirrors' to pretend to fight tobacco," said McCormick, who did not hold back in her criticism of the companies that profit from the sale of tobacco products.

"The tobacco industry has a long history of putting profits over people's health," said McCormick. "They have knowingly sold products that kill millions of people every year, and they have done so without remorse. It is time to hold them accountable for their actions."

McCormick's proposal has received support from public health experts and anti-smoking advocates, who believe that it is time to take bold action to combat the devastating effects of tobacco use.

McCormick said, "I do not see why the government should not stop anyone born more than 21 years ago from legally purchasing and using tobacco products instead of opening a new market for vulnerable prospective smokers who can become addicted to nicotine and made victims of this deadly killer."

"Limiting tobacco sales to people aged 21 and older is a step in the right direction, but it is not enough to combat the devastating effects of tobacco use," McCormick said. "We need a more comprehensive approach that will prevent future generations from being exposed to the dangers of tobacco."

However, some critics have raised concerns about the impact on businesses that rely on the sale of tobacco products.

Despite these concerns, McCormick remains committed to her proposal, which prioritizes public health and safety over corporate profits. "The tobacco industry has caused immeasurable harm to individuals and society as a whole," she said. "We cannot allow this to continue. It is time to take decisive action to end the scourge of tobacco use once and for all."

"I have absolute contempt for anyone who considers selling deadly carcinogens a business opportunity that is more important than protecting people from cancer and other health problems," McCormick said. "We cannot allow corporate greed to dictate public policy when it comes to public health. It is time to put the interests of the people first and take decisive action to end the scourge of tobacco use."

McCormick's proposal is a strong and necessary step toward protecting future generations from the harmful effects of tobacco use. It is time for governments and society as a whole to stand up to the tobacco industry and prioritize the health and well-being of our communities.
