Just the Facts on Smoking Published: December 5, 2012
To the Editor:
Re “Tobacco Companies Are Told to
Correct Lies About Smoking” (news
article, Nov. 27):
We applaud Judge G ladys Kessler’s
ruling ordering tobacco companies to
publish corrective statements that say
they lied to us about the dangers of
smoking and that clearly state the deadly health effects of smoking.
These statements are not “forced public confessions,” just the
indisputable truth.
The statements will also correct public misconceptions about the
health benefits of “low tar” and “light” cigarettes. Smoking kills, on average, 1,200
Americans a day. We think that it is shameful that Big Tobacco has been concealing the
dangers of smoking for decades.
I n the United States, smoking kills more people than AI DS, alcohol, car accidents,
murders, suicide, drugs and fires combined. I t’s time the American public heard that
sobering fact from the companies that have profited from the loss of life. I t’s not easy to
tell the truth when you’re Big Tobacco, but the time to do so is now.
