message: I note someone's added statistics on the tobacco (damnable typos 203.129.34.62) industry from Euromonitor.  I remind people that Euromonitor is not a PD resource; I'm quite sure they mention something about red hot pokers in bums for copyvios when you log in.  Perhaps an alternate, free source could be found for this information?  Prospectus' usually include information about the composition of the business.203.129.34.62 09:19, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I came to this article to look for articles about the tabacco industry:
* How many companies, whats there name
* How much do they sell in USD market share etc
* Who is producing and how much (how many tons)
* etc etc
Instead I find some general info about some lawsuit in the US...

message: "Abstract:The major tobacco manufacturers discovered that polonium was part of tobacco and tobacco smoke more than 40 years ago and attempted, but failed, to remove this radioactive substance from their products. Internal tobacco industry documents reveal that the companies suppressed publication of their own internal research to avoid heightening the public’s awareness of radioactivity in cigarettes. Tobacco companies continue to minimize their knowledge about polonium-210 in cigarettes in smoking and health litigation. Cigarette packs should carry a radiation-exposure warning label."

thread_title:  Over 40 years ago tobacco companies discovered tobacco and its smoke contains [[Polonium]] -210 and suppressed the findings to avoid public attention  

message: The conflicting points of view section appears relatively skewed towards the Tobacco Industry. The first paragraph itself is somewhat fair, but the second paragraph provides a completely unsupported statement in favor of the industry, which is not in any way offset by any statement in opposition of the industry (that produces a product proven to carry severe health issues). 
Also, "conflicting points of view," seems like an odd choice for a header.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dupreem (talk • contribs) 14:50, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
