Here are the best reads on the global tobacco industry.Special report: BAT exposéSpecial report: SmokingInteractive guide: smoking and healthThe weblog: latest issues in links The influence of tobaccoThe addictive cigaretteAn excellent analysis on what makes up a cigarette - from the point of view of a tobacco company, an anti-tobacco lobby and a leading scientist. It's the addictive effects of nicotine combined with the carcinogenic effects of the burning tobacco that could get you. From the BBC World Service's special report on the tobacco trade.BBC World ServiceThe political fundingOpensecrets.org is a website that records data on campaign contributions in the US, published by the Centre for Responsive Politics. It shows that tobacco companies donated almost $3m (£2.1m) to candidates in the US elections, over $2m of which went to Republican candidates. The largest individual recipient was George Bush.opensecrets.orgDependence on the tobacco tradeMalawi's economy is so dependent on tobacco that global anti-smoking initiatives will create poverty, tobacco farmers say. As the UN looks into ways of diversifying the crop, production is rising. Hosted on allAfrica.com.allAfrica.comChild labour "rampant" in Malawi tobacco industry - allAfrica.com Cigarette smugglingThe investigation into BATThis is the report published by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, revealing the role it is alleged BAT played in smuggling their own cigarettes - as gleaned from BAT's own files, which it was forced to make public after a US court ruling. The Guardian's assistant editor in charge of investigations, David Leigh, was involved in the search.International Consortium of Investigative Journalists23.08.2001, David Leigh: Big Tobacco could get burnt31.01.2000, David Leigh: Global disclosureSpecial report: BAT exposéHow can cigarette smuggling be reduced?This BMJ study examines ways in which cigarette smuggling might be reduced. Reducing taxes on cigarettes, as in Canada and Sweden, is a disastrous way to combat smuggling, it says: better to target smugglers directly at an international level. It points out that most smuggling is supply-driven, not dependent on market forces, as manufacturers have claimed.BMJ The elusive truthLying about the risksTime.com examines the recent case of dying smoker Richard Boeken, awarded $3bn (£2.1bn) by a US jury after claiming that cigarette manufacturer Philip Morris lied about the risks of smoking. A judge later reduced damages to $100m.Time11.08.2001: Philip Morris to appeal $100 million damagesThe ghost of cigarette advertising pastRegulation magazine reprints an article from 1986, in which it examined the ways that tobacco companies advertised their product in the 1940s and 1950s - including directly refuting the health fears of the smoker. Regulation"Smoke all you want"This wartime ad for Juleps is a case in point. From a collection in Chickenhead.com.Truth in advertising - Chickenhead.comJoe ChemoThese spoof ads from Adbusters help redress the balance.Adbusters Public health initiativesPiper that plays another tuneCNN reports on the ads published by the American Legacy Foundation, which was formed as a result of a 1998 US settlement with the tobacco industry. Its hard-hitting anti-smoking ads were produced with money donated by the tobacco industry - and the industry isn't happy.CNNAmerican Legacy FoundationAnti-tobacco TVThis US anti-smoking video, Unfiltered, is one of a series in which a group of teenage smokers find out about the dangers of smoking. This episode is the gruesome bit: the visit to the hospital pathology department, and the chance to get a look at some diseased lungs. Will teenagers get the message or find it all a bit too patronising?UnfilteredTell us something newSmoker Michael Gutierrez writes in AlterNet of the trouble with no-smoking week. "Catchy commercials and frequent scowls from others won't make me quit, like they didn't stop me from starting. It has to come from within me."Alternet Big tobacco fights backHow cost-effective is a death?This summer, Czech research produced for Philip Morris was published showing that the savings from the early deaths of smokers outweighed the medical costs of treating smoking-induced diseases. AlterNet was just one of many publications to find the study a bit distasteful.AlternetThe fightbackPerhaps such studies were meant to be part of Philip Morris' "new long-term effort" to "open a dialogue with the American people about issues that impact our business," as reported by Mother Jones.Mother JonesBAT repliesHere is the section of the BAT website entiteld "Tobacco - a controversial product".
