Highlights

  • The Tobacco Control industry perpetuates the belief that nicotine alone is what smokers want. This hinders any serious research for many other possibilities on what makes people enjoy tobacco.
  • Tobacco Control advocates have no problem throwing old, sick and frail people out into the elements whenever they want a smoke ... "for their own good".
  • Tobacco Control advocates support discrimination in employment for smokers even if they only smoke on their own time.
  • The Tobacco Control industry lobbies property owners and condominium boards to forbid smoking in one's own home.
  • Many Tobacco Control advocates believe that smokers are not worthy of state funded healthcare.
