I'm not arguing
against the science, I'm cautioning that the enthusiasts sound like they're
making the same argument still currently being
made for sidestream
tobacco, and methylmercury, and CO2 emission from fossil fuel.
In its defence of two actions
against Imperial
Tobacco, one being litigation by British Columbia for health care costs incurred by BC to treat illnesses caused by
tobacco usage, and the second being a claim by class members who bought «light» or «mild» cigarettes, Imperial
Tobacco sought to add Canada as a third party, based on statements Canada
made to
tobacco companies and the public about the purportedly lesser risk of «light» reduced - tar cigarettes as compared with normal cigarettes.
