Subject: PUBLIC COMMENT ON FEDERAL REGISTER FW: fundign for tobacco control needs to be cut by 50 TO 75 % - those who smoke know they invite cancer

THIS AGENCY IS TAKING OUR TAX DOLLARS AND FUNDING STUDIES ON HOW SOUTH ASIANS USE TOBACCO. WE JUST HAD RESULTS OF CANCER CENTER OF NJ WHICH HAD A STUDY FUNDED BY CDC ON HOW SOUTH ASIANS USE TOBACCO. WHY IN HELL ARE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS IN THESE TIMES OF ECONOMIC CHAOS BEING ASKED TO FUND A STUDY LIKE THAT? WHY ARE US TAX DOLLARS BEING USED FOR BOONDOGGLE SURVEYS LIKE THAT? WE  NEED TO SHUT DOWN ALL THE STUPID BOONDOGGLE WASTEFUL PROJECTS COMING OUT OF THIS CDC, WHICH EXISTS ON LY TO MAKE JOBS FOR ITSLE, AND NOT TO TRULY HELP AMERICA TO BE MORE HEALTHFUL. THIS AGENCY IS TOTALLY NON PRODUCTIVE. ALTHOUGH THIS AGENCY HAS BEEN FULLY FUNDED FOR THE PAST 50 YEARS, AMERICA'S STANDING ON HEALTH CARE HAS SUNK TO ABOIUT 27TH IN THE WORLD, BELOW SO MANY OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE THIRD WORLD. THE WASTE GOING ON AT CDC IS ENORMOUS. TOBACCO IS OLD HAT AND THOSE WHO SMOKE NOW KNOW CANCER IS THE RESULT. I SEE NO REASON TO FUND ANYMORE. IT IS TIME TO WASH OUR HANDS ON THIS. IT IS LEGAL TO SELL IT AND USE. IT.I IF IT WAS TRULY AN ISSUE, IT WOULD BE OUTLAWED.I SEE NO REASON TO CONTINUE THIS BOONDOGGLE AT CDC, WHICH IS A TOTALLY UNPRODUCTIVE, WASTEFUL AGENCY, JEAN PUBLIC ADDRESS IF REQUIRED
