Dan Caldwell
“The Master Settlement Agreement placed significant restrictions on the advertising and marketing practices of the tobacco companies, and also provided funding for an effective anti-smoking public education campaign targeted directly at youth. These new numbers conclusively demonstrate that the combination of these two factors -- together with the hard work of the Attorneys General and the public health community -- has resulted in major reduction in smoking rates since the MSA was signed.”
Cheryl Healton
“Tobacco exports should be expanded aggressively because Americans are smoking less”
Dan Quayle
“Never slap a man who chews tobacco.”
Willard Scott
“I have seen purer liquors, better segars, finer tobacco, truer guns and pistols, larger dirks and bowie knives, and prettier courtesans here in San Francisco than in any other place I have ever visited; and it is my unbiased opinion that California can and does furnish the best bad things that are available in America.”
Hinton Helper
“Tobacco use kills 1200 Americans every day and 450,000 every year. More people die from tobacco-related diseases than from AIDS, alcohol use, drugs, fires, car accidents, murders and suicides combined. It is the nation's leading preventable cause of death.”
“For thy sake, tobacco, I would do anything but die.”
Charles Lamb
