| | "Q. Does cigarette smoking cause cancer? "A. I don't believe so. There's been no |
| | conclusive scientific evidence that convinces me that cigarette smoking causes |
| | cancer. "Q. This warning on the package which says that smoking causes lung |
| | cancer, heart disease and emphysema is inaccurate? You don't believe it's true? "A. |
| | That's correct. "Q. Because if you believed it were true, in good conscience you |
| | wouldn't sell this to Americans, would you, or foreigners, for that matter? "A. That's |
| | correct." |
| | Andrew H. Tisch, chairman and CEO, Lorillard, in a deposition in a case brought |
| | by airline flight attendants exposed to tobacco smoke (Washington Monthly, |

| | Since the 1950's, the tobacco industry has claimed that the evidence linking cancer |
| | with smoking is "merely statistical," and that it is "premature" to accept the "casual |
| | theory" that smoking may cause cancer. The point "is to insinuate doubt, to reassure |
| | smokers, and to stave off regulation through a combination of wishful thinking, |
| | nonsequiturs, and faulty logic." |

| | The common belief that there is an epidemic of death from cancer in developed |
| | countries is a myth. If the tobacco-caused cancer deaths are taken away, then the |
| | remaining cancer death rates are declining. |
