Secret Poisoning of Cigs, OK...Smoking Them, Banned.

Watchdog | 27.12.2003 21:20 | Ecology | Health | World

Anyone interested at all in the "smoking" ban story, and how it is essentially an Evasion of Liabilities for the Cig Industry, ought Google terms such as 'Radiation Cigarettes', Pesticides Tobacco', 'DDT Tobacco', 'Dioxin Tobacco', 'POPs Tobacco', etc. But here are links to bits of integral info...that you will not find in the corporate media...or in your legislators' speeches.

( Other postings here on this topic have unaccountably been trimmed. This "smoking" thing is about the environment, toxic chemicals, public health, corporate crime, the war on nature, evasion of liabilities, Big oil, pesticides, chlorine, scapegoating innocent victims and so on. It is NOT just about rude smokers in Pubs...nor about protecting public health. Please offer these links to your environmental groups and others...and to pub owners and their attorneys.)
