Indeed, the campaign against tobacco by the groups mentioned in the article has reached a fever pitch. If we adhere to the propoganda which these established special interest groups pitch, we must believe that there is no substance known to man that is more harmful than tobacco. Many US products are banned in Europe and other countries because of cancer causing agents. Yet, the same products other countries deem harmful are part of American diets on a daily basis.
What is also ignored is the fact that for every study the ACS, ALA, AHA, etc., release to demonize tobacco, particularly the harm of second hand smoke, there is a study to debunk their claims. This is the reason that none of my charitable contributions go to these entities. I support organizations which seek to find cures for ALS, MS, MD, Parkinson's and the like. I contribute to organizations which attempt to curtail societal ills like domestic abuse, child abuse and animal abuse and cruelty. The charities I support vary in cause but, they have an important common bond in their concern with finding answers without lobbying the government to increase taxes as a way to force their beliefs upon a free society.
The notice on the bottom should say, "Warning! The Surgeon General has been prevented from informing you that President Bush's caring is dangerous to your health."

The blog is like no other. How often do you get to see into the mind of the CEO of America's fasting growing PR company, 5W, from the man that runs it? Have you ever wondered what the CEO might read on a plane ride? Or perhaps what his take on the NBA’s recent gambling blunders? Perhaps you are more interested on how crisis communications really works.
When it comes to showing the truth about the people behind the industry, Torossian’s blog is insightful, compelling and updated at least once a week.
It's becoming pretty difficult to follow where the canidates stand on an issue. There's a website that can help figure out which candidate you match up best with in the 2008 presidential election. It's www.politichoice.com and has a candidate matching feature. Check it out, it's pretty cool...
I think this group has some interesting things to say about The American Cancer Society:
http://www.preventcancer.com/
Apparently, the doctor who founded it is such a threat to the ACS that universities get threated with funding cuts if they invite him to speak. (I believe that was reported in Project Censored, but not positive.) So many of these groups like ACS have sold out to special interests. But they have so ingratiated themselves into the public's heart it is almost impossible to speak out against them. Anyone ever refuse to support something pink ribbon was behind? You can't convice the average Josephina you are not some heartless creep, you might as well say you enjoy kicking puppies. People just like to be manipulatied I guess!
