Tobacco publishing ban for researchers at industry-owned firms

Last year, the Swiss American tobacco company Philip Morris International , which owns some of the world’s popular cigarette brands, took over UK-based pharmaceutical firm Vectura. In response, six health bodies, including the American Thoracic Society , the European Respiratory Society and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases, have issued a joint statement describing the move as “highly unethical and inappropriate”.

Moira Gilchrist, vice-president of strategic and scientific communications at PMI in Lausanne, Switzerland, says the idea that the company would use Vectura’s technology in this way is “false and without basis”.

DalmeetS DalmeetS another great article. Well done.

Thanks gregory1downey for clarifying that atscommunity “have never said — nor will we ever — that we would discourage our patients from using technologies or bone fide medications developed by a company owned by Big Tobacco.” Perhaps you should update your press release?

Are there still people out there confused about the potential harms/benefits of tobacco? I thought that ship sailed decades ago.

Can we please do this for all toxic industry lobbyists?
