The program chronicles the tobacco industry's decades long effort to create a "safer" cigarette.

In this interactive feature, take apart an online version of a conventional cigarette and compare it with two "safer" cigarette designs.

Reader's Digest, once the leader in editorial content against smoking and smoking-related diseases, and one of the first national magazines to refuse to accept money from tobacco companies, in a stunning reversal just six months ago started sneaking in tobacco company advertising in their issues from Phillip Morris for the first time in decades. These ads started with print versions of the propaganda running extensively and currently on TV, touting how wonderful Phillip Morris and its people are because of various charity programs, most begun by their current subsidiaries Kraft Foods and Miller Brewing Company, long before these companies were purchased by Phillip Morris solely as a tool to insinuate their advertising dollars into publications and media outlets that refused to deal with Phillip Morris directly. Ironically, most of these ads feature targeted age groups that smoking harms the most, i.e. young people and seniors. To date Reader's Digest has already received many complaints and requests for subscription cancellation due to this new policy 01/07/10 Smokefree Apartment House Registry The Registry is being developed in response to the many requests we have received from the public for information about rental units which are free of drifting tobacco smoke. The Smokefree Apartment House Registry is a project of Smokefree Air For Everyone (S.A.F.E.) and Community Partners, Los Angeles. For many years, hotels and motels have offered smokefree accommodations. The demand for "non-smoking rooms" is so great, in fact, that few hotels will guarantee a smokefree room, even when it is urgently requested. Preliminary surveys in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties indicate there is also a strong demand for smokefree accommodations in apartments and condominiums. It is unfortunate that in some buildings, tobacco smoke can drift from one unit into another, or can enter an apartment or condo from halls, stairs, balconies, and patios. Most Californians are aware of the health hazards of secondhand smoke and wish to be protected from it. However, many apartment owners are not aware that they have the choice to designate all or part of an apartment building or complex as smokefree. Smokefree apartments are less costly to maintain and may be cheaper to insure. We offer a free listing on our web site: to apartment owners who have chosen to establish a total or partial smokefree policy in their buildings. 01/05/23 Conscientious Consuming: The Boycott Against Tobacco Companies With an international, if outdated List of non-tobacco products 5/22/01 Tobacco Cessation Online Training Center Arizona Dept of Health has a great Library, including short, punchy, just-the-essentials referenced resources.

By their obstruction of the truth, the anti-smoking conspirators have caused the needless deaths and suffering of uncounted millions. They have compounded their crimes by persecuting the innocent, and stealing their victims' money to line their own over-privileged pockets, under the pretext of the Big Lie that smoking is an economic burden to society. Morally, the anti-smokers deserve to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity, and hanged like the Nazi war criminals.

Cigarette filters have been found in the stomachs of fish, birds, whales and other marine creatures who mistake them for food. Recent studies conducted by Clean Virginia Waterways show that the chemicals in cigarette butts easily leach out of the butts, and are deadly to water fleas (a small but important animal that lives in most freshwater lakes and streams as well as the ocean). Composed of cellulose acetate, a form of plastic, cigarette butts can persist in the environment as long as other forms of plastic. More than 470,000,000,000 cigarettes were smoked in the U.S. in 1998, and many butts are washed into rivers and streams from parking lots and streets via stormwater. 00/06/12 World's Fastest Clown Coming July 23, 2000 - The World's Fastest Clown's BE TOBACCO FREE!

By far the funniest of the Star Wars commercials, C-3PO enters a control room and finds R2-D2 smoking a cigarette. C-3PO tells Artoo how bad smoking really is, and that he wouldn't be a good example for others, upon which Artoo rids himself of it, and agrees upon it. Even though the commercial is funny, it has a very sad tone. The commercial is fairly rare, as it is not included on the 57 reel, but since it aired a lot, it shouldn't be too much of a journey to find. 5/19/99 Northern Light: USgovSearch Searching (not retrieval) is free till June 1.

Here's the French version This is not an anti-smoker site. . . This is an anti-tobacco company site. Tobacco companies are drug traffickers. They are motivated by greed. They prey on human weakness. They do everything in their power to entice people into addiction. They cause sickness, disability, and death with their products. They cause tremendous harm and expense to individuals and society. It is immoral and wrong that they continue to enrich themselves by poisoning and killing Canadians. Enough! It is time for action. Plan: We propose that the Canadian federal government take away the business licenses of all tobacco companies and assume responsibility for the production, distribution, and retail of tobacco products. . . 5/17/99 Periodical Contents Index Chadwyck-Healey.

A New Standard of Responsibility. Star Scientific, Inc. (OTC: STSI), formerly Star Tobacco and Pharmaceuticals, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eye Technologies, Inc. (OTC: EYTC), changed its name at its January 1999 Annual Meeting in Richmond to reflect the nature of its primary corporate focus, namely, to continue developing ``harm reduction'' and ``less toxic'' tobacco products, as well as a range of smoking cessation products, to assist adult smokers in making informed choices about health hazards. Star Tobacco and Pharmaceuticals was founded in 1990 for the purpose of commercializing improved tobacco products. It has a cigarette production facility in Petersburg, Virginia, capable of supporting $200 million worth of sales per year. The company is the exclusive worldwide licensee for an additive-free, novel curing process used to prepare tobacco for prescription cigarettes (CigRx). These cigarettes feature a complete absence of tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA). Tobacco and Health Know What You Smoke: Advance StarCure Technology The first totally new curing process in over a century, a revolution in tobacco science... Relevant Articles and Formal Papers A Star Compendium Of Important Tobacco Facts In order to understand Star's revolutionary tobacco technology, it is helpful to have a better understanding about regular tobacco. At the risk of oversimplification, the following points should be remembered: 1) Nicotine, while addictive, is not a carcinogen. (Carcinogens are cancer-producing materials). 2) Nicotine in moderation does not seem to be harmful. In fact, it may have beneficial effects such as enhancing short-term memory. 3) In addition to nicotine, regular tobacco contains a naturally-occurring mood elevator, a so-called monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor. This ``anti-depressant" may be as important as nicotine, if not more so, for consumer satisfaction. 4) The only medically significant carcinogens in regular tobacco are a special group of nitrosamines (tobacco-specific nitrosamine; TSNA). These chemicals produce lung cancer, esophageal and bladder cancer. 5) Burning tobacco (smoking) produces other known carcinogens such as benzo[a]pyrenes. Benzo[a]pyrene is known to be carcinogenic, albeit much weaker than TSNA's. Generally speaking, these ``gas phase" carcinogens can be significantly reduced with filter technology. 4/8/99 Get Outraged From the Mass. Tobacco Control Project.

The tobacco connection, with links to articles. Fanning the flames of these scandals have been Media Moguls, who have used their networks to force-feed the public a daily diet of wall-to-wall Clinton scandal coverage. One of these Moguls is RUPERT MURDOCH, the head of a huge Multi-Media Network which includes TV Guide, the New York Post and the FOX Network. In addition, Murdoch sits on the board of directors of PHILIP MORRIS, a tobacco conglomerate. Murdoch also sits on the board of trustees of THE CATO INSTITUTE, an organization that is funded by RICHARD MELLON SCAIFE. Indeed, it is through the Cato Institute that the powers of Richard Mellon Scaife, Rupert Murdoch, and the Big Tobacco companies are most obviously connected, since all three of these parties contribute funds to CATO. It should come as no surprise then, that Cato has provided aggressive legal advocacy for the Tobacco Industry in it's fight against the government. Given that there is ample evidence that Scaife may have laundered funds through the American Spectator, it follows logically that there may also be evidence, yet unearthed, that CATO is a vehicle by which the money of these three entities has been pooled and diverted towards backing nefarious activities.

It's all about the nature of one's relationship to this world and to life itself. There is very little that is, in and of itself, harmful, it is only how we choose to interact and relate with it that makes it so. It is precisely the critical importance of being in the 'right relationship' with all of life and how that relationship is expressed in the social, cultural and ceremonial life of Native Americans, that this documentary will explore. 12/4/98 Polish Secret Document Site From Polski McSpotlight.

Semi-incoherent riff--with some nuggets--on history of tobacco from a would-be online mag looking for cigar advertisers When Christopher Columbus discovered America, he encountered one particular group of primitive people, the Tainos, bossing around all the rest of the native population, that is, the very peaceful Siboneyan guys. All of them, however, were using a weird kind of tobacco. . . . The tobacco (TABACO) name is derived from an American Indian word applied both to a tube for inhaling the smoke and to a cylinder of leaf prepared for smoking. The word "cigar" is suspected to come from Mayan "sikar", to smoke, where "sik" stands for "tobacco" and "ar" suggests "large or dark". No wonder some people feel "sik" after smoking very large, dark cigars!!! -Very interesting...but stupid! 09/26/98 The Proposed Tobacco Settlement and the African American Community: The Kiss of Death Vernellia R.

The Deal with Smoking 08/24/98 ASH THAILAND Spectacularly informative, well-done site. Among its treasures: Smoking Prevalence in Thailand by Number and Percentage 1966 - 1996 There has been a gradual decline in the prevalence of smoking in Thailand largely due to the absence of the aggressive marketing of tobacco that has been seen in other countries. However, despite declines in the percentage of Thai's who smoke, the number of smokers is increasing. Legislation The Marlboro Man Comes to Thailand History of Thai advertising History of Thai Tobacco Control 1976-1997 Circumventing Thai Law Women and Smoking While the Thai Tobacco Monopoly (TTM) was the sole producer of tobacco products in Thailand only cigarette brands with high nicotine and tar levels were produced. It is speculated that this, coupled with no advertising or marketing directed at women, greatly contributed to the low smoking rates amongst Thai women. Since the opening of the market many cigarette brands which target women have entered the market, with Virginia Slims leading the pack. Social Indicators Education levels amongst Thai smokers are very low. Few have gone beyond the compulsary seven years of schooling. Female smokers are particularly likely to have no formal education at all. 08/24/98 State Capital Strategies Information Site "Your quick connection to data on state governments."

Bernays and the history of public relations Website for the book by Larry Tye Those papers offer up insights on more than just the profession of public relations, however. They also provide illuminating and sometimes disturbing background on some of the most interesting episodes of 20th Century history, from the way American tobacco tycoons made it socially acceptable for women to smoke, to the way other titans of industry convinced us to pave over our landscape and switch to beer as the "beverage of moderation." The companies involved aren't likely to release their records of those campaigns, assuming they still exist. But Bernays saved each scrap of paper he sent out or took in, and provided for them to be made public on his death. In so doing, he let us see just how those policies were made and how, in many cases, they were founded on deception.

Remarkably, Judge Wynn expects to succeed. He had never heard of Grossman or corporate charter revocations, when in May 1998 he filed a complaint in state court in Birmingham, Alabama, demanding that the corporate charters of Philip Morris, Brown & Williamson, R.J. Reynolds, The Liggett Group, and Lorillard Corporation be revoked. . . He stumbled across an obscure 19th century statute giving any citizen the right to petition the state for a "writ of quo warranto" - a Latin phrase meaning "by what authority?" As Judge Wynn explains it, the writ of quo warranto allows a citizen to file a lawsuit against any corporation, posing the question: By what authority are you holding a corporate franchise to do business, when you are in fact breaking the law? 12/2/99 American Cancer Society Tobacco Control Page 12/2/99 American Lung Association Tobacco Control Page ASH--Action on Smoking & Health 7/11/96 Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) is offering $25,000.00 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of current or former tobacco industry executives for cigarette related felonies ASH's Secret Documents Page 9/27/96 Internet Health Watch Reviews ASH Website Reuters Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights Another pioneering organization joins the Web.

The REBEL has been created to assist with building awareness and recruitment.

Grannis Jr. MD. I am a physician and thoracic (chest) surgeon with almost 30 years of experience treating patients with tobacco related diseases including lung cancer, bronchitis and emphysema, coronary artery disease (heart attack), carotid vascular disease (stroke or CVA) and many other diseases. This page is an outgrowth of my experience with The Lung Cancer and Cigarette Smoking Web Page . . . Through the E-mail and form feedback features of that page, have come hundreds of inquiries from young people for information on tobacco and tobacco-caused diseases. 27% of requests for help or information have come from people age 21 and under. Most questions relate to help in gathering information for the preparation of school reports, requests for information on smoking cessation or concerns about their own health or the health of family and friends. An abstract of my experience with the Lung Cancer and Cigarette Smoking Web Page presented to the World Congress on Lung Cancer in Dublin Ireland is offered here. Attempts to direct these young people to sources of information available on the Internet and World Wide Web, that would help answer their questions and needs, have been frustrating. Searches of the WWW for information on tobacco yield a wealth of great information from hundreds of different web sites. There is, however, an appreciable dearth of information available on the WWW, and in general, on tobacco and tobacco-caused disease, that is age-specific and appropriate for young people. 01/01/02 Project: Up in Smoke Subject of the 1/2/01 New York Newsday article, "Teens' Message Is 'Butt Out' / Youths of Taiwanese descent organize a campaign against smoking" Simple, fast, nicely done. Go Queens! Their project, an antismoking Web site they called "Project: Up in Smoke," was edged out by a Brooklyn team's effort to make Brooklyn College smoke-free, and the Queens youths each missed out on $2,000 scholarships. But the Queens students said they were in the project for more than the money and have kept their Web site alive. Smokers' Stories We logged on to a few support forums on the web and asked people for a few of their experiences with smoking and quitting. The answer we got was pretty overwhelming. Here, we picked out a few ones to share. Crackdown Selling cigarettes to people under 18 is illegal, everybody knows that. Yet some stores and even supermarkets do it anyway. Ever wish you could make them pay some heavy coinage? Well - now you can. Type in the name and/or address of the store, and send it to us. We'll send the information to the folks at the American Cancer Society (ACS), who'll go and check it out. If they're caught, fines can run upwards of $1000-more than most delis and bodegas can afford. Get revenge on that store that's ruining your friend's or loved one's life. 00/09/08 Tobacco Prevention and Education Program Full, rich resource center from Oregon's Dept. of Health.

We also work to further the education of those who are not completely familiar with our disease, and we provide a support mailing list for our members. . . In late November of 1997, Gary Bain, Mick Wagner and Sharon Adkins, were members of another COPD support group. We had an idea that there might be interest in forming sort of a "members profile" site that would be accessible by the group we were members of at that time. . . We started it in December of 1997 and it took off like gangbusters. Suddenly everyone was interested in completing the Questionnaire to see how they compared to others by actually comparing the Profiles in writing. We kept adding questions to it as well. It still is one of our favorite parts of our "family" and can be seen by clicking on Members Pages and Profiles from http://www.emphysema.net/bindex.html .. . .

The incidence is rising at an alarming rate in both men and women. Ninety percent of cases are caused by active or passive smoking and therefore could be avoided or prevented. Smoking is a major factor in the development of many other cancers, cardiovascular disease and chronic lung disease. As a consequence of smoking, nicotine addiction in our children is a major worldwide epidemic requiring immediate action. In order to help achieve its goal of eliminating lung cancer, the IASLC: 1. Requests governments to: 1) Develop new methods of preventing smoking, and therefore nicotine addiction, in children. 2) Forbid smoking in all public facilities and transportation systems to protect non-smokers from the effects of passive smoking. 3) Through governmental and public notifications and advertising, warn of the ill effects of smoking on health. 4) Increase taxes on tobacco in order to prevent its use. 5) Enforce higher copayments by smokers for the cost of treatment of smoking related diseases. 6) Requests introduction of anti-smoking education at all levels of education. 2. Encourages other medical societies and health care institutions to join in campaigns against smoking and for anti-smoking education. 3. Encourages all health care providers to receive training in counseling on stopping smoking. 4. Requests all industrial sectors and media organs to eliminate tobacco advertising and marketing. 5. Promises to produce materials that will aid in education concerning smoking and lung cancer. 03/03/30 Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center (TTURC) University of Pennsylvania The Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center (TTURC) represents a unique partnership between the Abramson Cancer Center, School of Medicine and Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania and the Lombardi Cancer Center and Institute for Health Care Research and Policy at Georgetown University.

Often when people, such as yourself, come to my office for the first time, a considerable portion of the time we have arranged to spend together is spent asking and answering questions. On the one hand, that is quite understandable and responsible. Were I to seek the assistance of a professional, I too, would have many questions. Unfortunately, the process of asking and answering questions is a time consuming one - one that will reduce, perhaps significantly, the amount of time available for us to engage in the work we have set out to do - help you become smoke-free. With that in mind, and in the interest of utilizing the time we have together as efficiently and effectively as possible, I have, on the pages high-lighted below, assembled a variety of information that you can review before we meet. I expect that most, if not all, of your concerns will be addressed. Should you have additional questions or feel a need for clarification of any of the information I have provided, I would appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concerns either when we meet or via email. 02/01/16 Nicstik (Canada) The original idea for nicotine replacement products came from the tobacco pickers in the 1900's. It was noted that the pickers who were not protected by long gloves were developing toxicity from the plants. When the wrist was exposed the plant extracts were absorbed through the skin into the blood stream. The concept for all nicotine replacement products is to give the brain an amount of the drug so the patient will be able to resist the strong urge to light up. Cigarettes contain many other chemicals and it is much better for them to be exposed to a small amount of nicotine only. The nicotine receptor in the brain is very sensitive and many smokers develop a habit where it has to be satisfied every 2 to 3 hrs. If not they get severe nicotine "stress" and are not able to concentrate on the necessary tasks of life. However more smokers are giving up their habit due to strong pressure from the health groups and the anti-smoking movements that have proved second hand smoke is a carcinogen. We are able to help our patients by giving them a small amount of nicotine as they use other programs to help overcome their addiction. The Nicstick allows our patients to control the amount of drug they need when they need it. 02/01/19 BC Doctors' Stop Smoking Program Canada 01/01/10 QuitSmokingDiet.com LLC.

There are new medications that can help you quit smoking. By themselves, they work. But smoking cessation experts, and smokers themselves, know that quitting requires more than dealing with the physical cravings alone. You need to deal with the psychological aspects of your smoking habit, and this requires changing your behavior. . . Experts agree, however, that the most effective behavioral support program is one designed just for you, and used in conjunction with a stop smoking aid, such as Nicorette or NicoDerm CQ. In fact, clinical studies prove that the Committed Quitters Program can improve your chances of quitting by more than 25%, versus the use of nicotine therapy replacement alone. Please take a few minutes to explore this site, which offers a comprehensive guide for all smokers. No matter where you are in the quitting process, there is something here for you. Even if you have no interest in quitting, we can help you understand your smoking habit, and how it compares to other smokers. But if you are interested in quitting, we can really help you. From understanding nicotine addiction and the range of quitting options available, to dealing with high risk situations once you have quit, you will find it here!

Concerned that scientific societies separately would lack the resources and expertise to lead a major technical infrastructure shift in publications, Stanford University, in founding HighWire, accepted the role of partner, agent of change, and advisor. Begun as a close collaboration of scientists, librarians and publishers, it has not strayed from that model in its six years of rapid growth. Under the guidance of its publishing partners, HighWire's approach to online publishing of scholarly journals is not simply to mount electronic images of printed pages; rather, by adding links among authors, articles and citations, advanced searching capabilities, high-resolution images and multimedia, and interactivity, the electronic versions provide added dimensions to the information provided in the printed journals. 00/12/19 Recent ETS News Stories from the Center for Social Gerontology 00/12/06 Inforetrieve Medical/Scientific clearinghouse; commericial, but it can lead you to articles.

We still work hard to accomplish these goals today. Our members are "any persons, firms or corporations that own land to which a Burley Tobacco Quota is assigned and any tenant or lessee of such land." We are a cooperative - we are owned and managed by the growers who make up its membership. Before 1941, farmers were basically left to fend for themselves against the tobacco companies for fair prices. Growers received pennies a pound for their hard labor crop. Times were tough and prices were unfair. However, concerned citizens saw the plight of the burley tobacco farmer and led the way to a new organization that would change the U.S. tobacco industry. The Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association of Lexington, Kentucky was the first to fight for fair prices for burley producers of Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, and West Virginia. Today, we still serve the burley producer by maintaining the price support program and representing producer concerns.

(Thanks for the tip to Larry Breed) 12/22/96 Smoke and Illusion A fresh if idiosyncratic look at the tobacco situation-- from considering pesticides and manufacturing processes as the basis of cigarettes' health effects, to using tobacco to produce ethanol. Another example of tobacco contemplation as an emergent (and surprisingly personal) art form. This site is dedicated to the idea that it may not be tobacco which is the cause of much, or most smoking-related disease and death. The role of chronic sublethal exposure to cigarette pesticides, the use of contaminated paper industry waste materials, the presence of hazardous solvent residues, the use of foreign tobacco wastes, and many other new avenues of evidence are explored. We suggest new product liability strategies for cigarette victims and their families, new routes to more effective community-level regulation, and new reasons for young people to understand the importance of not smoking cigarettes and using other so-called tobacco products. We also propose some interesting, maybe startling new uses for tobacco - including one that was awarded the 1993 Energy-Related Social Invention of the Year in the UK [Updated to new site 11/15/02] 12/27/96 The European Experience with Native American Tobacco Bill Drake's spectacular cross-cultural investigation, filled with hard-to-find and trenchant source material, plus Drake's own analysis. A must. From the preface: It is a curious fact that while the Whites took the material tobacco from the Indians they took with it no fragment of the world that accompanied it, nor were they at first aware that there was such a world. After all of the generations that have elapsed since its introduction among the Whites, it has woven itself scarcely at all into their psychology and mythology. Nicotine is enshrined among the Whites only as a drug, as a taste, as a habit, along with the seeking after mild and tasty forms, while the Native peoples make tobacco a heritage from the gods, a strange path which juts from there into this world and leads to the very ends of magic. -- Clyde Kluckholn, 1908 01/12/97 And Don't miss Drake's Cigarettes and Pesticides Bibliography A massive compilation.This bibliography represents a late 1996 deep search of world scientific and medical journal literature, both online and in libraries . . . oddly, there seems to be almost no funded research into the role of pesticides in tobacco industry-related disease and death.

Omni is important because it is the first reduced carcinogen cigarette that tastes, smokes, and burns just like any other premium cigarette. As we all know, smoking is addictive and hazardous to your health. However, the medical community has identified specific carcinogens that are a major cause of lung cancer in smokers. In a groundbreaking move, we have greatly reduced many of these. Let me be perfectly clear - there is no such thing as a safe cigarette, and we do not encourage anyone to smoke. But, we strongly believe that if you do smoke, Omni is the best alternative. While Omni has not been proven to reduce health risks, the significant reduction of carcinogen levels is, in our opinion, a major step in the right direction. 01/11/23 Rothmans 01/06/08 Richemont 1/24/99 OMAHA CIGARETTES A NATIVE AMERICAN OWNED COMPANY These cigarettes are made from 100% natural tobacco by the Omaha Tribe in Nebraska which manufactures them on the sovereign land of the Omaha Nation. 1/24/99 Stone Tobacco Cigarettes made from 100% natural tobacco only $11.95 per carton* FREE shipping on orders of four or more cartons Stone Tobacco is owned by a member of the Omaha Tribe in Nebraska.

If approved, Loews would issue the tracking stock through a public offering representing a minority interest in the economic performance of Lorillard, Loews' tobacco subsidiary. "The tracking stock proposal amounts to a clear admission by management that Loews' structure as a conglomerate has obscured the full value of Loews' highly profitable Lorillard tobacco subsidiary," said Matthew Walker, HERE General Vice President. "However, rather than spinning-off Lorillard to shareholders and allowing shareholders to realize the full value of the tobacco asset, our company has proposed a financial gimmick that doesn't maximize value for shareholders" Walker said. 06/03/98 DIMON Annual Report, Locations, Mission & Strategy, Officer profiles, history, more.

"Since 1997, the hospitality industry has made a considerable effort to make venues less smoky and as a result, the industry welcomed the publication of the White Paper on Tobacco Control by the Government in December 1998. Instead of imposing a ban on smoking in public places, the White Paper recognised that the hospitality industry could and would regulate itself voluntarily. Properly signed non-smoking areas, well-planned ventilation and air cleaning are the tools for self regulation. Managed effectively, they will help the trade get rid of the smoke but keep the smokers. The associations listed on this page have published detailed guidelines based on the Charter which should ensure that smokers and non-smokers continue to enjoy a cleaner atmosphere without the need for further regulation. The aim of this website, and indeed our aim in supporting the AIR initiative, is to help make simple, practical and cost effective solutions available to all to allow our customers, smokers and non-smokers alike, to continue to drink and eat together in harmony, and for our staff to enjoy cleaner air. 01/03/01 Cigarette Cover.com Canada's label-shrouding covers.

The National Smokers Alliance was reportedly the brainchild of Philip Morris and B-M. In 1994, National Journal writer Peter Stone observed NSA "is increasingly looking like a subsidiary of Burson-Marsteller," and noted the PR firm "used its grassroots lobbying unit, the Advocacy Communications Team, to start building membership in the group last year." Thomas Humber, a Burson-Marsteller vice-president, is president and CEO of the NSA. Burson executives Kenneth Rietz and Pierre Salinger are active, as is Peter G. Kelly, a prominent Democrat with the firm of Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly, which is owned by Burson-Marsteller. --from Smokin' by John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton. "If you look at Burson-Marsteller, [tobacco is] only one of thousands of clients," [CEO] Rietz says. But of those thousands, Philip Morris and NSA sit comfortably among the firm's top five Washington clients. -- from Tobacco Dole, Mother Jones. The Role of the Public Relations Professional By Harold Burson Chairman, Burson-Marsteller "The second role which the public relations person must fulfill is that of corporate conscience. I trust you will not infer from this that a person must be a public relations professional to be sensitive or that public relations people behave in ways that are either more moral and ethical or more in the public interest than executives with different titles. There are others in the corporate hierarchy who may possess the same amount or even more of these attributes than the individuals responsible for public relations. But the fact is that being the professional corporate conscience is not part of the job description of other executives. It is part of the job description of the chief public relations officer." 12/05/97 Unismoke The universal symbol of an adult and wanton pleasure is now fashionably embroidered onto stylish wearing apparel created for those individuals who make and live proudly by their own informed decisions.

The Life Skills Training program is a proven, highly effective, substance abuse prevention/competency enhancement program designed to focus primarily on the major social and psychological factors promoting substance use/abuse. The LST program was developed by Dr. Gilbert J. Botvin, a leading expert on drug abuse prevention, for middle or junior high school students. It consists of 15 classes that can be implemented in the first year of middle school (usually the 6th grade) or the first year of junior high (usually the 7th grade). The program includes five major components, which consist of two to six lessons and are designed to be taught in sequence. 02/28/98 We Card Site Coalition for Responsible Retailing. Challenge: find a word about the health effects of tobacco. 02/06/97 Convenience Store News 90% of smokers start by the age of 18; 50% by the age of 15. Where have they been getting supplied? Is there a black market in the US? No, it's all over-the-counter, and sting operations indicate convenience stores have a notoriously lousy record when it comes to selling smokes to kids. Here's PR on the National Association of Convenience Stores' No Ifs Ands Or Butts Program in association with the Jaycees. As usual, it's tough talk of "No ifs, ands, or butts about it, tobacco isn't for kids, and they shouldn't be able to buy tobacco products at convenience stores or anywhere. But why isn't tobacco for kids? No particular health reason given, it might as well be just plain adult orneriness. This is the "Daring Kids to Smoke" ploy, the tough-worded dare spread through the Coalition for Responsible Tobacco Retailing's "We Card" program. 01/20/98 NACS and Congress National Association of Convenience Store Owners is against the settlement To assist you in your discussion with your Member, NACS has prepared a document entitled "Why NACS Does Not Support the Tobacco Settlement," which contains talking points on the deal cut between the tobacco companies and state attorneys general.

Arising out of RJR-MacDonald Inc. vs. Attorney General of Canada and Imperial Tobacco Ltd. vs. Attorney General of Canada, in which I gave statistical advice to the tobacco companies' legal team, I was commissioned by the Confederation of European Community Cigarette Manufacturers to write a critique of the much quoted New Zealand Toxic Substances Board report Health or Tobacco: An End to Tobacco Advertising and Promotion. Actually the critique was of the paper subsequently published in a learned journal by the same authors. The critique itself was also published (as Stewart, M J, 1992, Tobacco Consumption and Advertising Restrictions: A Critique of Laugesen and Meads (1991). International Journal of Advertising, 11, 97-115. [50 kbytes]). Following this I was commissioned to carry out some original statistical analysis - basically to do properly what the New Zealand team had done in an incredibly slipshod, if not fraudulent, manner. This showed that the six countries which had introduced tobacco advertising bans by 1990 had, if anything, increased their tobacco consumption over what would have been expected. This work was also published, (as Stewart, M J, 1993, The effect of advertising bans on tobacco consumption in OECD countries. International Journal of Advertising, 12, 155- 180. [47 kbytes]). If you need a statistical argument 'taking apart', especially if in the fields of advertising, marketing, opinion polls, market research surveys, and public policy, please get in touch with me, Michael Stewart, principal of Abbey Management Services.

The documents show that BAT does not do the smuggling itself, but works through middlemen that do the actual smuggling.

(TR, who campaigned on a "Clean Government" platform, would be ashamed to see how dirty we still are 90 years later.) Something is very rotten in American politics when nearly every candidate for office is dependent on a tiny, economic elite to mount their campaigns, when candidates are judged first and foremost by how much money they can raise, and when lawmakers tilt public policy toward those who finance their campaigns. What can be done to reduce special interest influence, end the money chase that diverts lawmakers' precious time and attention, and make it possible for candidates to run for office without having to sell themselves to the highest bidders? These are the fundamental problems that must be addressed by any serious reform of our campaign system.

Last June, the Philip Morris tobacco company announced that it would penalize retailers convicted of selling cigarettes to minors. But after the company declined to act against 17 Minnesota stores caught selling to under-age buyers, Minnesota attorney general Hubert Humphrey III charged that the firm's "Action Against Access" campaign was an empty promise made with no real plans for implementation. Philip Morris attorneys replied that they will, indeed, take action, but only when they have verifiable reports from the state.

Dokoureno? is a project that seeks to raise awareness about tobacco dependence, but without the zealotry of other anti-smoking campaigns. The Czech name is a clever double entendre which translates as "Enough Smoke?" for the English speaker. It's the brainchild of Jiri David, a leading middle-generation Czech artist, father and dynamo. "I'm not interested in general campaigns against smoking," says David, a former smoker. "I would not participate in one. Our project is not about joining in with the usual proclamations about anti-smoking. It's about the personal approach of each participating artist." Starting Wednesday, Sept. 6, the works of more than a dozen artists participating in Dokoureno? will be on display in the Manes gallery. On Sept. 14, around 20 works -- photographs, objects, sculptures, paintings, video and a billboard -- will be auctioned. . . Havel wrote for the project: "As a man who smoked regularly for 45 years ... I don't feel I can say anything to anyone or even spread any kind of anti-smoking message. I feel I should inform the future smokers that to smoke means to write off part of your own freedom." 02/04/12 Research for International Tobacco Control RITC is an international secretariat that funds multidisciplinary tobacco control research projects in developing countries. 6/17/99 Tobacco Law Compendium (TLC) Canada's most comprehensive source of legal information concerning tobacco issues...

The exhibit features a copy of King James I's anti-tobaco tirade, "A Counterblaste to Tobacco" (1604); a translation of "Joyfull Newes out of the Newe Founde World," (1571) which touts tobacco's curative properties in treating toothache and cancer, etc., and photos of Ronald Reagan, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams and Stan Musial vouching for "mild" Chesterfield cigarettes.

It made us who we were and who we are. Yet, for all it's importance, most of us know relatively little about it - and about our own tobacco heritage. Billy Yeargin, a tobacco historian, has the knowledge to bring this great history to life. His ability to mix facts about tobacco history and other native agricultural products with humorous, often personal anecdotes makes him one of the most sought-after classroom, seminar and after dinner speakers on this subject. 00/11/04 The Tobacco Project Xu Bing's installation at the Duke Homestead in Raleigh, NC 06/15/97 The Duke Homestead and Tobacco Museum A rich trove of tobacco artifacts and exhibits on the site of James B.

The ads that are illustrated and discussed can all be summed up under the phrase manipulative advertising. The 'subliminal' adverts are unethical and can be considered to breach professional guidelines. In some countries (not the US nor the UK) they may also be illegal. . . Smokers and potential smokers in the UK and US A, in particular, are recommended to give careful consideration to the activities of ad agencies responsible for cigarette advertising. Cigarette ads constitute a disproportionate amount of the semi-subliminal ads. Concerned individuals should also consider the impact of such ads on young children, who may be more perceptive than the average adult where the 'recognition' of embedded elements in ads are concerned. 2/28/00 Truth in Advertising: The 1940s and 50s Cigarette ads and copy 7/20/99 Jim's Burnt Offerings Cigarette ads galore!

Illustrated. 00/09/05 Artful TruthHealthy Propaganda Arts Project The WolfsonianFlorida International University is a pilot program that teaches fourth- through sixth-grade students how art, design, and advertising particularly tobacco advertising convey persuasive messages that can influence emotions and actions. This art-education initiative was created by The WolfsonianFlorida International University, and was funded by the State of Florida, Division of Health, Awareness and Tobacco. . . Students learn about the ways in which art communicates ideas, and they apply that knowledge to analyze the persuasive tactics used in advertisements. Knowledge is power, and once students learn to recognize propaganda as such, we believe they will be less susceptible to it. Artful Truth empowers students: It teaches them to recognize when they are being manipulated, it gives them a voice, and it encourages them to become advocates of their beliefs. Artful Truth provides several learning resources for instructor and student use, as well as numerous opportunities for student expression. 00/08/31 Tobacco Ad Gallery From CTFK.

Web article ran 6/23/97. 9/30/97 American Matchcovers Collecting Club with a nice History of Matchcover Collecting Joshua Pusey, a Philadelphia lawyer and patent attorney, is credited with the first matchbook in 1889. With matches, made originally for his personal use, this Philadelphia lawyer parleyed the patent rights to Diamond Match Co. for $4,000 in 1896. Pusey probably cut the first matchbook from a cardboard-like material with a pair of of5ce shears. On a small wood stove, he boiled up the original volatile formula for the match head and striking surface mixture. . . With life breathed back into the match industry through the need for popular patriotic and military advertising, the O.P.A. (Office of Price Administration) insisted that a free book of matches accompany every pack of cigarettes. Free matchbooks became a mainstay. They were so much a part of every cigarette purchase, that the O.P.A. saw this practice as mandatory and regulations ensured continued free matchbooks with cigarette and cigar purchases. 11/19/03 Rathkamp Matchcover Society BADvertising Institute Hilarious counter-advertising materials Advertising Ethics Book list 01/01/10 Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation Nymox is currently offering two products, AlzheimAlert(TM) and NicAlert(TM). . .

In keeping with her belief that music has the power to heal and should not be used to harm, Leslie rejected their offer and started Virginia SLAM!, an organization committed to exposing corporate deception and exploitation. Leslie also started SLAM!Records, a record label devoted to targeting industries or organizations which hurt humanity, and SLAM!ing them with the healing power of music. SLAM!Records has produced two previous SLAM! concerts that focused on keeping the tobacco industry out of music. SLAM!1 and 2 featured the Indigo Girls, Shawn Mullins, Jill Sobule, and Leslie Nuchow. A portion of the proceeds from SLAM!Records' releases and from SLAM! concerts are given to other charitable organizations. 12/31/98 Tobacco: Behind the Smoke and Mirrors Visual Mentor's mission is "to develop a highly visual k-12 curriculum, that combines advanced computer graphics and visual effects with dramatic story lines." The tobacco industry has succeeded where many health education programs have failed because they capitalize on the deep social needs that most compel adolescents: to fit in, to exert independence from parental control, and to demonstrate physical agility and sexual allure. These motivational techniques are mirrored in Tobacco: Behind the Smoke and Mirrors. However, in a strategy of reversal, we will show not how smoking makes a teen "belong," but how it induces social scorn and ostracization; not how smoking liberates adolescents from adult control, but how it makes them dependent customers of tobacco companies; not how smoking enhances their physical and sexual identity, but instead takes a toll on their prowess and looks right now, not in some conjectured future as an adult. 12/13/96 The Oregon Mint-Snuff Co.
