Document Summary
Over the last 450 years tobacco has become a major contributor to the economy. Deliberately sought to create doubt in the minds of legislators and the public about the effects of smoking. Shs (second hand smoke) has been linked causally with sudden infant death syndrome (sids) in major reports such as the 2004 us. Tobacco industry executives deployed the concept of information to shit full moral responsibility for the harms caused by tobacco products to consumers. Discourses about smoking have a powerful influence on attributions of responsibility whether the consumer or the provider is ultimately to blame. Tobacco promotion and the social and economic context of smoking. Encouraging children/young adults to experiment and slip into regular use. Discouraging full and open discussion of the hazards of smoking as a result of media dependence on advertising revenues. Muting opposition to controls on tobacco as a result of the dependence of organizations receiving sponsorship from tobacco companies.
