more toxic punch than foreign brands, say researchers at the U.S.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In one of the first studies of its kind, researchers compared the levels

of tobacco-specific nitrosamines -- a main carcinogenic component of

tobacco -- in cigarette butts and in smokers from several countries.

hese "researchers" have crafted incomplete, misleading and

deceptive results. This cannot be accidental. The phrase "tobacco

specific nitrosamines" gives away the problem.

How the CDC, in addressing cancer, can ignore all the cancer-causing

pesticide residues in typical cigarettes, the dioxin-creating chlorine

chemicals and the chlorine-bleached paper, the carcinogenic levels of

radiation from certain Still Legal phosphate fertilizers, and the little

fact that a typical cigarette may not even be made from tobacco is a

question. It's a question the CDC cannot answer, and certainly does not

care to be asked.

The dioxins (from industrial chlorine, impossible from tobacco or any

plant) are not only cancer-causing themselves, they are "promoters" of

cancer, accelerating the cell damage. The CDC has no problem with

that---preferring to cast the blame onto Mother Nature's un-patented,

conveniently "sinful", tobacco and nicotine. Un-informed, un-protected,

secretly-poisoned smokers are also blamed, of course. Big Chlorine

(pesticides,

paper pulp, etc.) is off the hook again. Its license to poison, kill,

and evade liabilities and criminal consequences has not yet been

revoked. This epidemic situation regarding "studies" of "smoking" and

"tobacco" represents easily the most widespread corruption of medical

science in history. That "tobacco kills" has been made a tenet of

corporate religion. That Industrially-Contaminated Smoking Products is

the big killer is heresy.

By this routine disregard for chlorine in typical cigarettes, and the

resultant high levels of dioxin in the smoke, everyone, not just

smokers, remains endangered by chlorine and dioxin. Everyone's tax

dollars pay for the bogus "science" and illegitimate subsequent laws.

Chlorine keeps its "good name". It's as if Rachel Carson never lived.

If there are more of those nitrosamines in U.S. cigarettes, it

can only come from is the nicotine extract added to the cigarettes if

they

contain tobacco or not. Manufacturers require uniform nicotine levels in

each cigarette. They cannot depend on tobacco leaves having uniform

levels.

This his is about adding something to the products...not about some

mysteriously more potent tobacco plants.

As for the FDA--- The FDA is specifically forbidden by the "tobacco

regulation" law from doing anything about the agricultural parts of the

cigarette industry. True. The FDA may not set foot on a tobacco farm

to see the 450 or so different pesticides registered for tobacco use.

The FDA many not test a cigarette, or a smoking victim, for agricultural

chemicals. The FDA cannot stick a Geiger Counter into the

fertilizers.

The FDA may not visit any Curing Sheds to see the pesticides used

there. And---the FDA, apparently, cannot even look at all the kinds of

agricultural waste cellulose, none likely organic, used, in patented

ways, to make fake

tobacco.

The law says nothing either way about the FDA checking the cigarette

paper (usually

chlorine-bleached) in light of paper pulp being an agricultural

product. Since nicotine is also an agricultural product, from tobacco

after all, it may be that the FDA will not be allowed to even look at

nicotine levels even though the law does allow the FDA to lower nicotine

levels to almost zero.

It can't prohibit nicotine entirely because...well. ..without some

nicotine,

there would be no Drug there for the Food and DRUG Administration to

administer. No one seems concerned that, if nicotine levels are

lowered, that would prompt more and deeper smoking as smokers try to get

satisfying levels. That would be swell for taxes, but pretty bad for

human health and life.

The idea of permitting only plain tobacco smoking products---unless an

adulterant can be proven to not add to the still-undisclosed inherent

risks of plain tobacco---is an idea that the chlorine industries (oil,

pesticides, pharms, plastics, etc.) and their insurers, investors and

friends in government will not consider.
