Strict Tobacco Rules: Law Requiring Graphic Labels In Cigarette Packages Upheld As Smoking Age Limit Set To Be Raised In New York City
Tobacco industry's challenge to a 2009 federal law that makes it mandatory to have graphic warning labels on cigarette packages and puts restrictions on expanded tobacco marketing was rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court Monday.
The decision came on a day when New York City's Council announced a bill that would raise the minimum age to buy tobacco products to 21 from 18, scrutinizing U.S. citizens in terms of smoking laws.
My Opinion:
It is only a farce to regulate such laws aimed at restricting people on smoking. As I wrote in the report, there is no statistically proven data that putting up graphic warnings on cigarette packages are indeed going to limit the number of smokers. Nor is it going to impact the smokers if the age limit is raised.
If the menace associated to smoking is to be eradicated, we need a wholesome approach towards the issue, possibly a moral or spiritual awakening that spontaneously raises awareness in humans for what is wrong and bad for themselves. People will need to have an innate realization for righteousness.
