Question

True or false? until recently, congress provided subsidies to tobacco growers and has been very reluctant to pass legislation opposed by the industry.

Answer 1

That is "True".

For around seventy years, going back to the Great Depression, the legislature forced production constrains on individual tobacco cultivates yet ensured a artificially high cost for the harvest. The strategy kept up order in the tobacco developing business for a considerable length of time and kept numerous little agriculturists alive. At the point when Congress voted a ballot in late 2004 to take out the government's contribution in the business, it was seen as an approach to standardize the cost of tobacco and make U.S. tobacco cultivating more focused over the long haul.
