I think that it took something like 20 or 30 years between when the first

research indicated the link between smoking and lung cancer and the

beginnings of legislation to put labels on tobacco products.. and then many

more years before people started winning lawsuits - and then having their

cases drawn out on appeal another few years..

To the best of my knowledge, there are STILL corporations who insist that

asbestos is harmless...

There is an archive of tobacco industry documents which came out in lawsuit

discovery that show that the tobacco companies own internal research had

shown that tobacco caused lung cancer and was addictive MANY years before

the news started circulating around..

That is why the state governments sued them during the clinton

administration.. I think, because they knew it was killing people and still

sold it and claimed that it was harmless.

Thanks for the info. The Executive Summary does a great job of

laying out the facts regarding the history of the health effects of

tobacco. I would recommend that everyone read this if you get a

chance. It sounds very similar to what's happening with the coverup

regarding toxic mold.

Does anyone have something similar regarding asbestos?
