I'm posting this because LinkedIn.com has been invaluable to me professionally.
As to the Swedish Snus Enthusiast Group, they give me the opportunity to introduce Henry Waxman's recent Bill H.R. 1108.
It was overwhelming supported by both parties in the House but the fall break stopped it from making it the Senate. The bill will put tobacco under FDA control among other things.The Bill will be reintroduced next year, pass both houses of Congress, and either McCain or Obama will sign it.
It has huge ramifications not only for the 46 million American cigarette smokers, but for users of "reduced-harm-tobacco" products like Swedish or Swedish-Style snus, and other forms of tobacco.
This will be a very large issue and point of contention during 2009 and I'm just laying the groundwork. Remember you heard it here first!
