#1 A federal judge ruled Thursday that the nation's top cigarette makers violated racketeering laws, deceiving the public for years about the health hazards of smoking.

Errr...the Federal government has required a warning label on the packages since the 60s. The hazards are well known. People, exercising their free will, choose to be stupid. It is not in the Constitution that the Judiciary has the power to substitute punish for the stupidity of others. Another demonstration that the Judiciary doesn't believe in free will or the allied concept of democracy. That's why they're introducing their imperial authority over us, ruling by ruling.
