I deleted the unsubstantiated section about TII having taken money from tobacco companies That section had two sources the book Merchants of Doubt and a pdf of an article titled Smoke and Mirrors The Tobacco Industry s Influence on the Phony Grassroots Campaign for Liability Limits I have read and searched through Merchants of Doubt and there is zero mention in it about tobacco donations to TII The Smoke and Mirrors article says The Independent Institute published a study opposing cigarette taxes while taking money from several major tobacco firms Their source for this is Americans for Nonsmokers Rights Tobacco Industry Front Groups October 11 1995 However there is no link to this source or way to find it online so there is no way of verifying it or finding out what it is based on so it is heresay Wikipedia should certainly not post that TII took tobacco donations until a verifiable primary source can be found to back it up Even if such a source does exist the relevance of posting about tobacco donations is dubious Even if TII had taken donations from the tobacco industry in the 90s that is hardly notable in the context of a multi million dollar organization that has taken donations from thousands of sources over the years
