You can find a summary of the Tobacco master Settlement Agreement: caag.state.ca.us/tobacco/resources/msasumm.htm
And here you can browse through some 7 million documents that were made public as part of this agreement://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/index.html
I've learned to search these sites pretty well over the last few weeks and i have to tell you, a lot of what I've read and learned has made me pretty angry. I cannot believe I was manipulated as masterfully as I was.
Looking at these documents has also helped me in my quit. Once I realized I had fallen for their bogus product hook line and sinker, and I had been a pawn in their game to start my smoking and to keep me smoking, it's made it easier for me to deal with the cravings.
There is no way in God's green Earth I will give these people/organizations the satisfaction of taking one more red cent from me.
EVER!
I thought others on this board might like to take a look around here as well. Like I said, it's 7 millios documents stronf so there's a lot to look through, but I bet within 15 minutes you read something that makes you mad.
Let me know what you think/find.
Crave the quit!
