Surgeon General's report in 1964. Many studies even before WWII demonstrated a connection between cigarettes and cancer - and to other diseases. From papers obtained by a multi-state lawsuit against the tobacco industry, first they tried to make a healthy cigarette only to discover cigarettes destroy health even worse than expected. So the industry stopped trying the impossible - to make a safe cigarette - and started protecting their turf. Having learned from science how at risk their entire industry was, the cigarette industry quickly learned Rush Limbaugh tactics.
Where is this study that claims no relationship between smoking and lung cancer? Where is this study that claims no relationship between smoking and heart complications? Where is this study that so contradicts the Surgeon General after so many generations of science repeatedly confirmed that 1964 report? Where is this study that proves both the AMA and ACS have been lying for two generations? Those are really bold accusations with no supporting evidence. Accusations currently done in Rush Limbaugh style - without supporting facts. Show me.
Meanwhile cigarettes are not the topic. The topic is about responsible news sources; which somehow are confused with shampoo (that will somehow cure dead hair like Sadam's WMDs). You got the example correct. But why then associate a shampoo commerical as an example of news? And why did you do what Rush Limbaugh types do - confuse all lurkers here with irrelevant nonsense about second hand smoke? People who believe Fox News is news and believe Rush Limbaugh is honest - they would do that spinning for confusion.
(Honest? The professional propagandist Limbaugh just got arrested again on drug charges. Something expected of professional liars.)
So you actually believe that cigarettes are not deadly? Show us what responsible news sources somehow forgot to show us. Show us how 40 years of undisputed Surgeon General research got it all wrong. Show us this conspiracy to destroy a patriotic American tobacco industry - that conspired even to addict 14 year olds to nicotine. Oh. Honest tobacco executives would not do that? Clearly 40 years of news sources are lying - just like the Pond's Institute and shampoo companies. Clearly we should instead trust the tobacco industry - not the Surgeon General?
Are you saying responsible news services lie - conspire with the AMA and ACS to pervert truth? Someone tried that previously - claimed that all news sources lie - and only ended up getting angry when he could not defend himself. But lets see these studies - kept from us by responsible news services - that prove no relationship between cigarettes and lung cancer. Show us how the news services conspired with the AMA and ACS to deny us truth - because that is what you appear to claim? Show us where causal smoking increased health - as only those 1960s advertisements from the tobacco industry claimed.
Maybe tobacco can also cure dead hair? I know I put that study somewhere.
