煙草商是欺騙大師15

煙草業建立在操控和謊言之上,161718 煙草商每年耗資數十億美元進行花言巧語的公關活動、政治遊說,並資助他們自己的研究,以讓其欺騙行為獲得本就不應該擁有的可信度。1920 這個欺騙性的行業聲稱電子煙可幫助吸煙者戒香煙,卻又同時以孩童為目標,通過各種口味製造出青少年的電子煙流行病。21 不僅如此,吸電子煙的青少年有三倍機率更有可能吸香煙。22

這些所有的伎倆都不是什麼新鮮事:數十年來,煙草業一直操縱煙草產品中的尼古丁含量以增加成癮性。23 當肺癌與吸煙有所關聯時,煙草商就製造出濾嘴來欺騙世人,讓大眾誤認他們的香煙從此更安全。2425 

這個產業並不打算消失,它們可能已經變異成另一種形式,但卻仍然以欺詐手法推銷販售著成癮、疾病和死亡。262728
