n this article, the distortions of the cigarette industry will be analyzed at three relevant sites. All three sites continued from 1970 to 2000. These three sites are: 1) The carcinogenic site of cigarette smoking 2) The addictive site of nicotine 3) The health effects of secondhand smoke. Since the Crusades took place at the same time on all three sites, some of the year references may seem confusing. But I have checked these many times.

In the 1970s, scientific distortions by cigarette companies were in full swing. For example, the confidential correspondence of BAT has come to light today. “We can't just say that we are producers, not doctors. Consumers need to be made aware that smoking cigarettes is safe.”

Even worse, in 1972, Fred Panzer of the American Tobacco Association, in cigarette industry correspondence, made their dual role very clear. It said,

“For the past 20 years, the cigarette industry has fought for its interests on three fronts: litigation, politics and public opinion. It Email Data  was a great effort, but a winning effort. Our aim is to win. How to do this?


1. First, don't deny that cancer will happen. Instead, make the questioner doubt.

2. Second, smoking is not illegal. There should be an outcry that smokers have rights too.

3. Third, scientific research should be advocated for impartiality.”

Oh, how much they care about scientific research! The first and third attacks are a for-profit corporate system that confuses science with money. First questioning the results of scientific research and confusing the media for not knowing the whole truth. Next, it should be said that scientific research should be carried out without prejudice. By saying that, the public perception is that the science is biased against the cigarette companies. What an insert this is! Also, the customers are the people in this public space. They'll blow off a cigarette, dismissing the message that there's something fishy about it! What a blessing!

In the 1980s, this Cold War was even stronger. The US Surgeon General went one step further and stated, “Smoking is the single largest preventable cause of death in our society. "The biggest problem in public medicine is smoking," he said.

What did the cigarette companies say? “Smoking causes cancer is just a general opinion – that's all. A scientific conclusion is nothing then.

 

 

See how their tone changes. The only way to conclude is to deny that there isn't, to put aside all the scientific research and somehow continue to make a profit from the power of money!

In 1990, U.S. Justice Sarokhin put it so beautifully at the conclusion of a case against the cigarette industry (which should be put up as an epitaph in every town):

“When it comes to the question of consumer health or profit, the cigarette industry is clearly operating.

1. Concealing facts is considered more important than warning consumers.

2. Prioritizes sales over safety.

3. Values ​​money over virtue.

The industry knowingly and secretly dices up consumers' health for profit. The cigarette industry is the king of concealment.”

Anthony Colucci, who worked in research for the cigarette company RJ Reynolds, said in 1992 after he left the industry, “How long does it take to deny that cigarettes don't cause disease? Science is clear. Cigarettes kill. Why, this business, ”Cigarette smoking causes cancer. Shouldn't you publicly admit that this is the risk you take”? Consider one here. He is not saying that science has won. Only truth matters to science – success or failure, only matters to human beings.
