I posted this back in early 2000..when all the tobacco companies were being sued in courts for billions..as a result of my information they returned to court and all judgements against the tobacco companies have been dropped...but this information was kept from the public and all search engines refused to list it...so here it is..hope to get some positive feed back from you...click HERE for original..

Tobacco Chemicals
(Canada)
Ever wonder where all those cancer causing chemicals come from that the government always tells us are in tobacco?

Well so did I. So I suspected that these chemicals are not natural to this organic plant. When I was working on my Uncles farm, he was showing and explaining to me about all the precautions that had to be taken in applying such on food plants. He explained that he had to be licensed by the government to use these dangerous chemicals.
I found out that his son went to southern Ontario to pick tobacco plants every summer. So out of curiosity I asked him. Do you know if there are any restrictions or regulations on the chemicals that are allowed to be applied on tobacco plants? To my astonishment he said that there were no restrictions.
Now I knew I was onto something. I also later found out that the tobacco farms are so contaminated by chemicals, that when a farm stops producing tobacco. They can not grow food items on this farm for at least 50 years (by government order)
Another thing I suspect is that over the years all the chemicals that were produced and found later to be hazardous to human health, were applied to tobacco plants. They had a large stock pile of banned chemicals. They thought it would be a great way to get rid of the excess chemicals.
Since I felt that cigarettes like food were consumed by humans, I thought that something was very wrong with this situation. So I wrote a letter to the federal health minister. Hon Minister Allan Rock of health Canada March 17, 2001 I mentioned to him my concerns.
It took some time to get a response, and when I did he did not deny by points. I was very dissatisfied with his response. And I sent a copy of my letter to many tobacco companies. I later received a phone call from a very interested major tobacco company executive. The executive was amazed at my findings. So I took this opportunity to ask the tobacco executive a few questions. I asked do the tobacco companies have anything to do with the growing of tobacco. The answer was NO. I asked if they added any chemicals to tobacco, the answer was NO. So I then said that its amazing to me how the Government knows that they are adding cancer causing chemicals to the plants and that the government was guilty of hiding this information from the public.I had heard the govern in a trial of the tobacco companies, that the tobacco companies were wilfully hiding information from the smokers. When in fact it was the government doing that.

At the time of my communication with the tobacco company. They were losing their cases in courts and being penalized with huge fines. This was all over the news. The tobacco companies went back to court with my information. And all of a sudden all the penalties seemed to disappear. I haven't heard, that there has been another judgement against the tobacco companies since.

Ever wonder why cancer for smokers is highest in developed countries. Because undeveloped countries (such as Cuba) do not use chemicals on their plants.

"The head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S., Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach, says plans by the government to regulate the amount of tobacco in cigarettes runs the risk of backfiring.

Eschenbach says if the FDA reduces the nicotine levels in cigarettes, people will simply adjust their smoking habits to maintain current levels of the addictive nicotine, smoke more and inhale more deeply and it may do more harm than good.

FDA chief speaks out against regulating nicotine content of cigarettes

Eschenbach who is a cancer surgeon believes the move would create a situation where public health would be radically worse and he says the FDA does not advocate such a position but aims to approve products that enhance health rather than destroy it.

Legislation was introduced by a group of bipartisan lawmakers last month that would give the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco, in part by reducing its nicotine content.

Von Eschenbach has repeatedly said that the issue of regulating tobacco is a complex one.

Smoking kills more than 400,000 Americans a year and he does not want the FDA to be in a position of determining that cigarettes are safe.

Although the FDA moved in 1996 to regulate tobacco, in 2000 the Supreme Court ruled that Congress had not authorized the agency to do so."

I must agree with Von Eschenbach- As a smoker, Im not happy about the poisons in cigarettes, but Natural tobacco is hard to find. Most of the poisons in cigarettes stem from processing and additives and the filter material. Regulating the Nicotine while not setting any standards to the other ingredients/pollutant content will do nothing at curbing the negative effects of smoking- rather amplify them. How about forcing the tobacco industry to make all natural cigarettes with natural tobacco and organic cotton filters, unbleached rice paper and additive free?Huh If the prodict wont taste as good, so what? Quit if you dont like them Cheesy
