There wasn't any thread that I know of that was pulled. It was an actual copy of the study I found that was posted in a .pdf version that could be downloaded from tobaccofreekids.org. That link to the study went dead somewhere in the five hours since I posted it on a message board and the next person tried to download it.

Now the author of the "study" is telling at least some people that it's not available. Yet it appears some folks in the anti-smoker industry have access to it and are using it.

It's obviously not peer reviewed, and it's apparently not available to those who ask for it who have a different opinion than Stan Glantz and the authors. What does that tell you?

Thanks for your reply. In response to your question "What does that tell you?",it tells me that the antis are very powerful.

I find this whole thing frightening, and would do so even if I were a non-smoker. The fact that one rabid group of fanatics has so much power should scare any red blooded American citizen.

The mainstream press should be ashamed of itself for not doing more digging into this so called smoking danger.
