Debra,
    I can see and respect your frustration.  I wonder, though, how many
would-be smokers are deterred by the health warnings on cigarette packs.
Despite the warnings, it is the *same* target group - young, low-income
females - who are taking up smoking.  Perhaps they would also ignore
warnings on ABM cans, especially if a health professional told them to
supplement.  Of course, only a well-conducted study would confirm or refute
whether this is so.
