Letter: Fuss with trans fats, but ignore tobacco?

newsday.com – 3 de Julio de 2015 – EEUU
Reading "We won't miss the trans fats" [Editorial, June 21], regarding the Food and Drug Administration getting rid of trans fat in our diet, I have to wonder just what the federal government is doing about getting rid of tobacco products.

On TV, we see smokers who have lost their voices, toes, fingers and even legs. Yet, the government spends money telling people to stop smoking and continues to allow the sale of tobacco products.

If tobacco products were pills and drugs, they would have been removed from the market years ago. But with the money that all levels of government get in taxes from the sale of tobacco, the same governments continue to look the other way.
