The risque acronym Citizens United against Nannying Tyrants has some outstanding research on www.tobaccotactics.org It’s raison-d’etre is:
"Editorial Oversight"
“After big business suffered several spectacular media defeats, from the Mclibel suit where McDonalds won the suit but lost the war, to Monsanto’s underestimation of resistance to genetically modified organisms, corporations are fighting back. Hard. From surveillance to legal suits, from lobbyists crafting laws to PR groups’ greenwashing crimes Battling Big Business reveals how corporate giants attempt to control their “enemies”—and how groups and individuals can fight back.So we have taxpayer’s money being spent on foreign detective agencies to spy on people who are pro-choice on smoking and anti tobacco control. I think at the very least the public should know how much money is being paid to host this site.
To be fair is does seem well researched and generally accurate. It is no doubt in response to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) 5.3 clause which specifically excludes tobacco companies from any consultation process in government policy. Like children who think there are monsters in the wardrobe, anyone who agrees in the most part or partially have to be in the pay of Big Tobacco too.
