And with exactly how much protest from the tobacco industry? I would like the names of these "medical sources" that directed the court as such with their "research".
As I see it, it took time before Bubba Clinton and his anti-smoking crowd were replaced with a more tolerant administration. The report you cited was generated under Bubba and thusly was tilted. Again, Federal Court rulings aren't without error - they'd have done the same if the report were overly whitewashed in smoking's favor.
Ok! Then what about our Government agency ORNL? Tilted as well? I don't see our PRESIDENT tilting anything! In fact, he has EASED retrictions on GORE'S clean air act.
