Judged: 6 6 6 ST. PAUL, Minn.- The smoke of 600 cigarettes contains about the same amount of the cancer-causing chemical benzopyrene as a charcoal-broiled steak, an industry researcher testified Monday in Minnesota's tobacco trial. Even so, tobacco companies beginning in the 1950s looked for ways to reduce or eliminate benzopyrene and other cancer-causing substances found in cigarettes, David Townsend said. The approach that was most successful, he said, was reducing the overall level of tar, the sticky substance produced when tobacco is burned that contains benzopyrene and other harmful chemicals. "Design tools have made a major reduction in tar and nicotine in the U.S. market over time," said Townsend, vice president of product development and assessment for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. The state and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota are suing the tobacco industry for $1.77 billion, plus punitive damages, alleging that companies knew about the dangers of smoking, lied about them and manipulated nicotine to keep smokers hooked. In addition to reducing tar, the companies conducted research on reducing the total smoke emissions of cigarettes, Townsend said. One process he described involved expanding tobacco so a smaller amount would fill the same space in a cigarette. "The process is not terribly different than popping popcorn," Townsend said. Tobacco is impregnated with a solvent that puffs up the leaf when heated, he said. Such research was published in the scientific literature of the day, Townsend said. Townsend was called by the defense to show that tobacco companies were extensively researching how to make cigarettes safer and were reporting their research results. Townsend also described how cigarette manufacturers worked with the National Cancer Institute in the 1970s to develop a safer cigarette. The government pulled out of the Tobacco Working Group in 1978 and no final report was issued, he said. As early as 1972, an article published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute suggested raising the pH of cigarettes, changing the form of the nicotine so smokers would still get the effects even though the actual levels of both tar and nicotine were lower, Townsend said. The 1981 U.S. surgeon general's report on smoking and health also suggested maintaining nicotine at a level where smokers would get maximum satisfaction with minimum health risk from tar, he said. The plaintiffs have alleged that cigarette makers manipulated nicotine levels so smokers would remain addicted, rather than as part of making a safer cigarette that would remain acceptable to smokers. |

Judged: 6 6 6 . Many people feel the need the discharge stinking wastes from the bottom end of their bodies. Mostly they have commonsense enough to accept that this bodily function is best performed in private. Smokers are pathetic addicts, unable to think clearly about their self-degradation, so they pursue the fantasy that so long as their waste gases are exhaled from the top end of their bodies we are all supposed to welcome them around us. America will be a cleaner place when the last cigarette addict coughs his way into the cancer ward. If they are too weak-willed to get clean, then they could emigrate - beautiful Zimbabwe awaits them, or Afghanistan. |
