The National Council Against Smoking has welcomed a landmark US court finding that the tobacco industry has lied for decades about the harmful effects of smoking in order to protect its profits.
NCAS director Dr Yussuf Saloojee said the judgement, which ruled that major cigarette makers had "publicly denied, distorted and minimised" the hazards of smoking, had exposed the "rotten core" at the heart of the tobacco industry.
"Its carefully crafted, but wafer thin, mask of respectability has been ripped off," he said in a statement on Friday. . . .
He said the tobacco amendment bill due to go before parliament this year would try to end some of the practices the US judge ruled were fraudulent.
The draft legislation sought to ban the use of labels such as "light" and "mild", and would stop companies from manipulating the design and composition of cigarettes to ensure high nicotine delivery and addiction. |
