Corporations Say...No Smoking

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday November 14, 2002 09:53author by Watchdog Report this post to the editors

Onward to ANOTHER Prohibition

Before anyone goes along with the "wholesome" sounding anti-smoking crusade...please consider that this stuff HELPS the cigarette industry and their many ingredients suppliers, advertisers, insurers and investors...and gov't officials who allowed typical cigarettes to be so contaminated with dangerous, toxic, fire-starting, cancer-causing non-tobacco adulterants. WE, and the tobacco plant (nature) are blamed for effects of big corporate crimes.

Simply see a great,informative web site at www.ktc.com/~bdrake and THEN ask local or national "health" authorities what THEY have to say about dioxins in typical cigs...from all the still legal chlorine adulterants (bleached paper, pesticide residues, agricultural additives, Fake Tobacco made from industrial waste cellulose etc.).
Ask them about RADIATION (!) in cigs...from still legal (in the US certainly) uranium-contaminated phosphate tobacco fertilizers.
Ask about Fire-Starting additives used to make cigs burn faster and not go out (like natural tobacco) when untended.
Ask about Addiction-Enhancing additives...pput there so people smoke more and profit Big Cig more.
Ask about flavorings, sugars, artificial sweeteners, aromas, soothing additives etc...to all the better attract the kids.
Ask which of all this stuff has been tested for safety in this use. (NONE of it has.)
What do we get instead of prosecution of this cig cartel for mass, secret poisoning?...Bans on "smoking" (though "smoke" can mean anything)...while the industries that made cigs so bad get ignored.

Smoking even the purest tobacco may not be 100% safe (nothing is) but the CRIME of secretly adding known toxic and cancer-causing and addiction-enhancing stuff to a natural plant product that natuarally creates a withdrawal symptom, is a crime beyond understanding. Note that NO studies of unadulterated tobacco have yet been brought to legislatures or courts. How to then incict "tobacco" is a mystery...and an injustice. It's like "Reefer Madness" all over again.

STOP "war on tobacco". START War on cigs contamnated with deadly non-tobacco elements! And start war on gov't "regulators" who are in BED with these industries!
Anti-Smoking crusade is NOT about health, as they say. It's about minimizing liabilities for the cigarette manufacturers, the additives suppliers, the tobacco pesticide makers (oil and pharmaceuticals), lying advertisers, and ALL their insurers and investors. It's also a way for complicit gov't officials to look like they didn't have anything to do with this global crime.

See that site, above...and take it from there.
