The Tobacco Industry: Lobbying to Cause Disease

“Tobacco is unsafe for long-term use, even in small amounts. It is the only consumer product that kills about half of its long-term customers when used as intended by the manufacturer. This puts the tobacco companies on a collision course with public health.
