Which tobacco company sponsored this "research"?

"Low-Nicotine Cigarettes Fail to Sway Smokers"....what a joke of a title and spin on results


A 40% reduction in number of cigarettes smoked (a year after the study ended!!!) is not positive???

"Smokers who received research cigarettes had stated that they consumed an average 20 cigarettes daily at the start of the study. This fluctuated slightly during the first 12 months and plunged to a reported 13 cigarettes at the two-year mark."

This is even 12 months after participants stopped getting the low nicotine cigarettes!!

"At 12 months, provision of both regular and research cigarettes was terminated.."

The so called conclusions of Dr Benowitz is suspect at best and at worst his academic credentials should be reviewed by UCSF, San Francisco General Hospital (assuming they're not on the take by big tobacco also), the American medical Association.

What smoker wouldn't be ecstatic by being able to reduce their smoking 40% and not change a single thing about how they smoke or how their cigarette tastes?

What's the process for challenging the "findings" of yet another bogus big tobacco spin report?
