Hello Dave,

DD> 27 July 1965 - PRESIDENT LYNDON B. JOHNSON SIGNS A BILL requiring
DD> cigarette makers to print health warnings on all cigarette packages
DD> about the effects of smoking from 01 January 1966.

THIS PRODUCT KILLS PEOPLE

DD> Tobacco package warning messages are warning messages that appear on the
DD> packaging of cigarettes and other tobacco products concerning their
DD> health effects.

CANCER STICKS - THIS PRODUCT KILLS PEOPLE, AND COWS, AND BEAGLES

DD> They have been implemented in an effort to enhance the
DD> public's awareness of the harmful effects of smoking.

But it's okay to kill people - with guns.

For Life,
Lee
