U.S. Tobacco Must Issue “Corrective Statements” – When Will The Courts Demand The Same For Vaccine Makers “Tobacco Science”?
According to a federal court order, Altria, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard and Philip Morris USA were ordered to pay for and run newspaper and media advertisements stating:
“More people,” one ad says, “die every year from smoking than murder, AIDS, suicide, drugs, car crashes, and alcohol, combined.” Another reads: “Cigarette companies intentionally designed cigarettes with enough nicotine to create and sustain addiction.” [2]
But let’s be honest: Tobacco ‘scientists’ were able to convince and acculturate consumers to get hooked on and addicted to a known health-harming product and resulting health-damaging habit and addiction.
Tobacco science revisited: Tobacco kills! “Deceiving the public for decades.”

Tobacco companies designed products to make them more addictive! [1]
Recall how big tobacco knowingly and deliberately deceived and convinced consumers using tobacco products as something medical doctors practiced—so ‘safety’ was implied—and docs even had preferred brands!
In 1946, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company ran the following ad:
But R.J. Reynolds was not alone in the “conspiracy of deceit” regarding what’s become known as a classic pejorative for fraudulent science, “tobacco science.”
In the 1930s, Lucky Strike ran an ad stating that “20,679 Physicians say ‘Luckies are less irritating;’ ‘it’s toasted’!” [3]
A 1949 ad had a dentist saying, “As your Dentist, I would recommend Viceroys.” “Viceroys filter the smoke!” [4]
A cigarette branded as Murad, The Turkish Cigarette went so far as to show Santa Claus sitting on a snow-covered roof with his back against the chimney and this text prompting, “What could you Enjoy more this Xmas than Murad.” [5]
There were hundreds, if not thousands of advertisements, which spewed malicious fraud-filled lies about ‘tobacco science’ not affecting health adversely. Even to this very day, there are those scientists who, for a consulting fee, still promote ‘tobacco science’ for other industries. Those similar ‘scientists’ can be found testifying regarding the ‘safety’ and/or ‘efficacies’ of vaccines, AMI Smart Meters, cell phones, Wi-Fi, 5G, and other products, which the tobacco industry apparently taught product manufacturers how to sell with impunity, i.e., use supposedly credible ‘experts’ e.g., medical doctors, lawyers and PhD ‘experts’ who don’t follow emerging science but, for their high-end fees, will promote industry associations and professional societies mantras about the ‘proven safety’ of products or services regardless of the fact no short- or long-term health safety and/or environmental impact studies have been done. Those ‘experts’ standard refrains always are, “more studies need to be done.”
More studies never are enough, and never will be enough, for those promoting vested interest agendas like the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Communications Commission and all the alphabet agencies which have become corporate lackeys.
