Je vous félicite pour la décision de vous joindre aux autres provinces et territoires au Canada et d’entreprendre des démarches afin de tenir responsable les principaux fabricants de tabac au pays, non seulement pour avoir manqué à leur obligation d’informer le public sur la nocivité de leurs produits, mais surtout pour avoir mis en œuvre une vaste conspiration visant à jeter le doute au sein des législateurs et du public sur les véritables dangers de l’usage du tabac. À notre avis, cette initiative ne vise pas à savoir si les fabricants de tabac ont commis ou non une telle fraude mais plutôt de connaître l’ampleur de celle-ci. Il suffit simplement de jeter un coup d’œil aux documents publiés à ce jour par différentes instances juridiques pour comprendre que la communauté de la santé, dont nous faisons partie, n’exagère en rien lorsqu’elle qualifie d’odieux le comportement de l’industrie du tabac au Canada.

  • 1 Rylander Affair Professor Ragnar Rylander Was a Member of The
    Rylander Affair Professor Ragnar Rylander was a member of the faculty at the University of Geneva who did extensive research funded by the tobacco industry. After litigation Rylander lost against two tobacco control advocates (for defamation), the University conducted the equivalent of a UC Privilege and Tenure Hearing. The report was made public. In contrast the to unwillingness of UCORP and others at UC, the Committee viewed the issues in the broader context. As a result of this recommendation, the President of the University of Geneva announced that the university would not longer accept money from the tobacco industry. Here is an announcement of the decision and some associated links: Geneva, Friday October 29, 2004 16h00 local time The University of Geneva just made public a few hours ago its report on the "Affaire Rylander". Here are two excerpts of the summary (translation by PAD), which set the tone of the whole report. "The scientific community and the public must know that Ragnar Rylander's studies on the effects of environmental tobacco smoke on health are marred with serious suspicion, because the author has not revealed his conflicts of interest which were susceptible of influencing the significance of these studies and because he cannot be considered as an independent scientist, considering his role as secret employee of the tobacco industry. The Fact Finding Commission proposes that the following journals be notified of this situation: - European Journal of Public Health; - Archives of Environmental Health; -International Journal of Epidemiology" "Prof. Rylander's multiple breaches of scientific integrity take their full significance only when placed in the framework of the strategy conceived and carried out by the tobacco industry to throw doubt on the toxicity of tobacco smoke, particularly for the non-smokers.

Mittweida, Hochschule Mittweida, Fakultät Medien, Bachelorarbeit, 2011 Referat: Tabak hat wie kein anderes Konsumgut über Jahrhunderte eine extreme Wand- lung vollzogen – von der einstigen Heilpflanze des Orients, zum anerkannten Suchtmittel, bis hin zur propagierten Ursache einer weltweiten Epidemie. Nach- dem die BRD vergeblich gegen die EU-Richtlinie geklagt hatte, wurde diese im Jahr 2007 in Deutschland in nationales Recht umgesetzt. Damit trat das Werbe- verbot für Tabakerzeugnisse in Kraft, welches eine Vielzahl von Vermarktungs- kanälen massiv einschränkt. Zudem ist derzeit die EU-Tabakproduktrichtlinie in einem umstrittenen Revisionsverfahren, wonach bald mit zusätzlichen Restrik- tionen zur Tabakvermarktung zu rechnen ist. Aus aktuellem Anlass untersucht die vorliegende Arbeit die Tabakwerbung, mit dem Fokus alternative Wege und Strategien der Tabakhersteller bei der Vermarktung ihrer Produkte aufzuzeigen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt hierbei in der Untersuchung von Vermarktungskonzepten der BTL-Ebene für das Produktsegment der Zigarette, da diese nachweislich das konsum- und absatzstärkste Tabakprodukt weltweit darstellt.
