Thanks, I'd forgotten about that. Did it cure the tobacco companies from putting the additives and poisons in their products? I doubt it...

I would think it would be appropriate to teach students about these additives, maybe in health class, or civics/government class. Anyone know if any school districts are taking this tack? Any home-schoolers?
