    The soda industry is like any other industry. It's job is to make a profit for the company &/or the shareholders. They say the sky will fall in if they have to pay more tax but the truth is that many of these companies are making enormous profits and are not sailing so close to the wind that any new tax will send them over the edge towards bankrupcy. They have understandable self interest but the key for the government is to decide on what's best for the health of the country.

    I've seen my friends changed their brand every now and then. They don't care what color. They cared bout the "taste" which i don't know about. If i have no sinusitis i might be an smoker too. but this is for sure. once you are addicted to these cigarettes color does not matter and price as well... :-)

    Shell and other companies have been able to drill and pollute without serious oversight for all these years. jameson5106

    I understand there may be problems from rebel attacks but these multi-national companies do take precautions in protecting their own assets/personel so why not have the same commitment towards the environment. I am certain if they were losing large amounts of money through this, something would have been done to stem the problem a lot sooner and very quickly.

    I don't really feel that the government should be making tobacco companies do this. Does it really matter whether or not people think lights are safer or not. It's not like anybody thinks cigarettes of any kind are safe.
