“Governments have to take tobacco seriously. The key message is that it is possible to avoid up to three million deaths a year.”
Prabhat Jha
“The kid doesn't chew tobacco, smoke, drink, curse or chase broads. I don't see how he can possible make it.”
Richie Ashburn
“A point-three increase is a big increase. ( But ) to the extent the increase was due to tobacco prices, the market may be willing to forgive it, dismiss it, to put it aside.”
Robert Brusca
“With the buyout, it's now possible to grow tobacco anywhere and whatever kind you want to grow. When the companies found out they could not get the volume of burley they needed from states like Kentucky, they went elsewhere. They also are looking at Mississippi and Illinois and some other states.”
Blake Brown
“Tobacco-cessation programs are critical for the 45 million Americans who still smoke. Research shows 70 percent of smokers want to quit, but many lack the tools and resources needed to quit successfully. Help from friends, family and employers is critical to their success. Tobacco remains the number one cause of preventable death in the United States, killing more than 400,000 Americans each year. Initiatives such as the Gold Standard can provide smokers with the support they need to quit and stay quit.”
Cheryl Healton
“Tobacco exports should be expanded aggressively because Americans are smoking less”
Dan Quayle
“Never slap a man who chews tobacco.”
