Abstract

At the request of Rep. Henry A. Waxman, this report examines recently submitted filings by the five largest cigarette manufacturers in the civil suit brought by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). The report assesses the truthfulness of company positions on three critical health issues: (1) the health effects of smoking; (2) the health effects of environmental tobacco smoke; and (3) the addictiveness of nicotine. The report also examines three companies’ statements about previously controversial issues: Philip Morris’s statements on control of nicotine, R.J. Reynolds’s statements on marketing to children, and British American Tobacco’s statements on document destruction. The report finds that when forced to take legally binding positions, the tobacco industry still does not accept scientific consensus about the harms of their products.
