Cigarette deaths are FDA's fault?

• Alex3917 16y ago
  Not all of them, but many of them. For example, how many cancer deaths could be avoided each year if the FDA banned the practice of spraying radioactive fertilizer on the tobacco leaves? It's thought that 90% of the cancer caused by tobacco comes from the radiation and not from the tobacco alone, which means that about 135,000 Americans are dying each year because of the FDA's malfeasance.
