[C-U Smokefree] Fwd: [JoeCherner-announce]New York Issues Fire-Safe Cigarette Standards

Hi there--

FYI.

Of special quick note from Joe's e-mail is the following: " Ironically, 
secret documents from Philip Morris reveal that it had successfully test marketed a 
fire-safe Marlboro cigarette in 1987, but decided to shelve the project until 
"public pressure builds unduly."  Fire-safe cigarettes result in fewer 
cigarettes sold as smokers simply re-light cigarettes that go out instead of having 
to buy new ones."

All the best for a healthy and happy new year!

PS.  I am preparing a summary of industry's diversionary tactics and what 
industry hoped to gain from such tactics--hope to post the summary on this 
listserve soon.
