In view of this history I feel that it is important that Mr. Banzhaf and Action On Smoking And Health be informed of my continuing objection to promotion of lethal actions against persons who smoke, and that the ongoing promotion of the cyanide product tampering scheme is an continuing assault upon my person. While I am sensitive to the needs of investigative organizations to avoid undue interference with their efforts, the fact remains that I, and millions of other persons who smoke, are confronted daily with the fear for our personal safety that is deliberately promoted by a federally subsidized anti-tobacco enterprise, Action On Smoking and Health. This fear is not legitimately addressed by consumers of tobacco products just quitting, anymore than it would have been legitimately addressed by consumers of Tylenol and Sudafed just not buying those products. This fear is only addressed by aggressive law enforcement action through due process of law against the perpetrators of this anti-tobacco domestic terrorism campaign. Sudafed and Tylenol were and are legal products that were and are lawfully consumed by adults.
Cigarettes are a legal product that is lawfully consumed by adults.
To even consider, let alone actually state, the possibility that lawful consumers of legal tobacco products should just quit doing so to eliminate their fear for their personal safety is to legitimize federally funded and subsidized domestic terrorism in pursuit of new tax revenue sources. This is fundamentally opposed to every legal and moral premise upon which this nation is founded. It is also an outright violation of the civil rights of tobacco product consumers. The book does contain details of how to implement a cyanide product tampering schemeto the point of an explicit description of how to substitute a tampered pack of cigarettes for a regular pack of cigarettes at a retail establishment. The threat of, and fear engendered by, ASH's promotion of this book is, therefore, very real, and it is not a delusional construction.
