  We think it's obvious that through good economy or bad, fears of terrorism, corporate scandal, and even health fears, people keep smoking. It's not going away. Many of this country's founding fathers were tobacco farmers. People have been smoking for centuries. While the percentage of people smoking in the U.S. may have declined, many people do not realize the huge worldwide market for tobacco products. "The tobacco industry contributes substantially to the economies of over 150 countries, with more than 100 million people world wide depending on it for employment. Tobacco is the world's most widely cultivated non-food crop."*

What can you do to help? Well, the easiest thing to do is to stop smoking or encourage your friends and family to stop smoking. You'll better their health, and decrease tobacco demand.

Over the years, the collection has grown to include books and manuscripts in more than twenty languages. Although the collection is devoted to tobacco and includes almost every important work dealing with the subject, it also contains many historical and literary works in which tobacco receives only incidental mention. Among the fields represented in the collection are American and English literature and medicine. Materials as diverse as rare herbals, government proclamations and edicts from Europe and the Americas, and early records of travel in the New World may be found here. In addition to its comprehensive holdings on the history of tobacco, the Arents Tobacco Collection has a representative collection on the technical aspects of the subject; covered are such topics as "Smoking and Health," "Chemical Composition of Tobacco," "Tobacco Manufacture," and "Tobacco Marketing." The Arents Collection of Books in Parts contains over 1,200 items and is one of the best collections assembled on the principle that the books therein appeared serially in separate numbers and are still in their original state. Books in parts may be defined as works by an author or authors which are published piecemeal over a period of time, each unit having its separate cover.

• 2001/07/27 READER'S DIGEST BREAKS DECADES-LONG POLICY and ACCEPTS TOBACCO COMPANY ADVERTISINGLeslie Bell tracks the doings of Reader's Digest, which, considering its history, is quite interesting.
  
  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

  Infectious diseases are the leading preventable causes of death in the United States and throughout the world, and always have been. 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.

  Every day, billions of cigarettes are dumped, one at a time, on our sidewalks, beaches, nature trails, gardens, and other public places. In fact, cigarettes are the most littered item in America. Cigarette litter can ruin even the most picturesque setting, but in addition to being unsightly, cigarette litter is damaging to the environment and also the cause of numerous fires every year, some of them fatal. CigaretteLitter.Org is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to significantly reducing the amount of cigarette litter through educational campaigns. Most people who litter their cigarettes don't fully understand the consequences of their actions. This web site and our other educational efforts are designed to get the facts out about cigarette litter to both smokers and non-smokers. Once people know the truth, they will be much more hesitant to unthinkingly flick their cigarette butts on the ground.

  Welcome to the Cigarette Butts as Litter web site. Here, you can learn all about the #1 source of litter on earth! . . NOT JUST UGLY TOXIC TOO Cigarette butts are not just ugly - they also present a threat to wildlife. 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.

  The IMS combines the convenience of a dispenser with the security of an advanced inventory management system. When a customer wishes to purchase cigarettes they pay your bartender or cashier. He or she will then activate the SaleWatch machine with a keycard and dispense the cigarettes. The machine tells you in advance when a brand is sold out and keeps exact count of the number of cigarette packs dispensed by the machine. The IMS is not a vending machine! It does not accept any form of payment. No cash, tokens or credit cards are put in the machine. Every transaction is made face-to-face with a person and therefore is an over-the-counter sale.

• 2003/20/00Framing the Framework Convention The FCTC Scorecard Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada
  
  The first drafts of the proposed Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and related protocols will provoke much discussion - and many differing opinions -- among traditional allies in public health. With the potential for so many comments and different opinions, it becomes important not only to make comments on the documents, but to have a way of considering comments, ones own and other peoples comments as well, so that all views can be taken into account in working towards a more polished international instrument that is both representative of a global consensus and an effective public health measure. This proposal seeks to provide a way to help participants evaluate and keep track of the various concerns and options are raised.

In October of 1998, after considerable preparation, I initiated contact to the IRS through a prestigious lawfirm expert in tax matters, relative to the SMALLEST of DOZENS of false claims made by the tobacco companies which span over four decades. . . This first example involved the tobacco companies not paying income taxes, FICA, social security, Medicare or employment taxes on moneys realized in profits through wholesale cigarette price increases relative to tobacco company representative contingency funds and the "values" of those funds as the tobacco company representative were held accountable for.

• 6/3/99 Star Wars Anti-Smoking Ad Campaign From 1983-84? Probably the only shot in existence of R2D2 smoking.
  
  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 Canadian Tobacco Companies: Crimes against Humanity Intense, good design, nicely done--if there are no libel charges(!) 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. . .

  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).

  • 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.

• 3/18/99 Yes, Hillary, There is a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy! 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. One of the most obvious conflicts of interest is that KEN STARR is a former tobacco attorney, whose appointment was allegedly spearheaded by North Carolina Senators JESSE HELMS and LAUCH FAIRCLOTH
