Tobacco industry tactics

Edward L Sweda, Jr and Richard A Daynard

Tabacco Products Liability Projects, School of Law, Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Abstract

The tobacco industry's strong-arm tactics have been used consistently over many years. These tactics include: using the industry's size, wealth, and legal resources to intimidate individuals and local governmental bodies; setting up ‘front groups’ to make it appear that it has more allies than it really does; spending large sums of money to frame the public debate about smoking regulations around ‘right and liberty’ rather than health and portraying it tobacco company adversaries as extremists; ‘investing’ thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to politicians; and using financial resources to influences science. These tactics are designed to produce delay, giving the nicoline cartel more time to collect even more profits at the direct expense of millions of lives around the world.
