Since it has not been established to the satisfaction of the entire medical profession that smoking does cause lung cancer such a labelling law is quite premature. But for the sake of argument suppose that the con nection between excessive smoking and lung cancer were established: why pick on cigarettes? Why not require every product which human beings take into their bodies to be so labelled? Under such a precedent every bottle of alcoholic bev erages would bear a sticker saying something like “exces sive use of this product may cause you to lose conscious ness, lose your job, waste your money, beat your wife and see pink elephants.” Why not label every pound of coffee “excessive use of this product may cause you insomnia and nervousness.” And we are sure the medical profession could come up with similar applicable labels for every single item of hu man consumption—salt, suger, sausage, dill-pickles, but termik and spigot-water. The pertinent business about the connection between health and cigarettes is not tire use, but the excessive use. And the same thing applies to everything else, includ ing work, sleep, exercise and conversation. Why single out cigarettes?
