Is tobacco control the new Big Tobacco?
How should we understand the widespread hostility to tobacco harm reduction in the mainstream tobacco control community and much of the public health community? I don’t think we can ignore it any more… the symmetries and parallels with the worst excesses of “Big Tobacco” of the 1970s can no longer be ignored. The methods, ethics and consequences are all too similar, and becoming increasingly common.
