Tobacco is not the cause of cancers.
The chemicals in the tobacco, in the papers, in the filters are the causes of cancers.

10/04/10 REOPEN PETITION,
Unfortunately with the new limitation on ch.o, it will no longer go to both state and fed govt.    Therefore, this one goes only to your fed govt reps and the other one will go to state level govt officials, which I will post as soon as they get the button fixed so I can post it in a cause rather than on "all petitions".

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New actions for this cause:

Cigarette & Tobacco Taxing Needs to STOP  8/09/10 TO YOUR STATE GOVT OFFICIALS  
http://health.change.org/petitions/view/cigarette_tobacco_taxing_needs_to_stop

A Petition to Repeal Fire Safe Cigarette Law Citizens Against Fire Safe Cigarettes (CAFSC) Author: David Jaromnak Date: 11/15/08

I was not able to sign this petition (Care2) ... flashed the confirmation page and then immediately went to home page.   Anyone else have this kinda prob over there??? 

Apparently, chemicals are now being put in the papers of pre-fab cigs to make them go out.    LOL!!!!! But not funny.  
I roll my own so I was not aware of this.
