“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against… We’re after power and we mean it… There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed …nor enforced or objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system…that’s the game…”

The letter takes aim at “little cigars,” most of which have fiters attached. Before the FDA can regulate handmade cigars, it has to announce plans to do so and go through a years-long rulemaking process.

They have their hands full with regular cigarettes. Cigars are not coming under the FDA anytime soon.
