THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY'S SECONDHAND SCIENCE

Chuckie claims this is spam but I disagree.

The Quack Disinformation network funded by those below plus other
related industries also put out Propaganda on Lyme Disease ... and use
disgraced Ed McSweegan as their authority.

Very possibly Chuckie is this dubious junk scientist himself:

JunkScience.com was set up with the same money ... and the tobacco $$$
was pooled with silicone $$$ and Exxon $$$ and Monsanto $$$ and Cell
Phone $$$ to expand their Disinformation Network.

This includes ACSH.org and their quacky frontgroups ...


3. THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY'S SECONDHAND SCIENCE
http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/conte...7537/321-a/DC1
A new study by researchers at the University of California, San
Francisco found that the tobacco industry "recruited and managed an
international network of more than 80 scientific and medical experts
in Europe, Asia and elsewhere in a bid to avoid regulations on
secondhand smoke." In 1991 alone, the industry spent $3.3 million
(2.8 m Euros) on the program, according to company documents. The
program's goal was "to influence policy makers, media and the
public" by having industry consultants attend conferences, present
papers and lobby, all while hiding or obscuring the tobacco
industry's role. The program began in 1987. By 1991, "every member
of the organising committee of an international conference on indoor
air quality in Bangkok ... was a tobacco industry consultant." And,
"as of early 2004, no document has been located indicating that the
program has been terminated."
