Follow the Money
If one wants to know what industry groups have power in America, all one needs to do is follow the money. The pharmaceutical companies, the makers of Zyban, Nicoderm, Commit, Nicotrol, Nicorette, etc. spent $79 million to "grease the wheel".
While the Tobacco Industry only spent $17.5 million last year lobbying the federal government.
More money buys more power and influence.
tobacco lobby spending + drug lobby spending

Smoking is gross! Keep up the fight against the crap they try to shove down our throats and lungs. I heard something like Joe Camel use to give out cigs to kids in South America.
