Big Pesticides, and therefore Big Oil and Big Pharmaceuticals, is PART of Big Cig. People are banned from USING their products, but the industries are not banned from poisoning them...and their unwitting customers...to a high degree.
Relating to news that Gaitherberg, MD, may enact a "smoking" ban later in March....
* Getting to know your Cigarette Industry *

Here's an interesting site for those who may wish to question the character of certain pesticide firms....such as:
Bayer
Novartis
Drexel
Great Lakes Chemical
FMC Corporation (Philadelphia) (EIGHT tobacco pesticides on this list!)
Zeneca
Valent
Rohm & Haas (Philadelphia) (2 tobacco pesticides on this list)
Abbott (also maker of Death Penalty drugs)
Rohn-Poulenc
Fair Products
DuPont
Dow AgroSciences
Mycogen
Cochran
Agr Evo
American Cyanamid
and Uniroyal
This is about JUST SOME Tobacco Pesticides.
It is advice about how to not TOUCH their chemicals...yet, apparently, they and public regulatory officials don't mind if consumers unwittingly INHALE the residues in cigarettes...as long as consumers pay their own health care and funeral costs.
No CEOs from these firms have been brought to Congress or court to testify. No cig CEOs have been questioned about the safety of smoking residues of these pesticides, alone or in combination. None of the Gov’t officials who permit this have been publicly quizzed. And, commercial media haven’t expressed opinions or conducted investigations.
