In April 2003, the US General Accounting Office (GAO) condemned lax government oversight of pesticide residues in cigarettes. http://www.gao.gov/atext/d03485.txt
Or, if a problem there, Google up "GAO tobacco pesticides".

Just about any one of them can be helpful in undermining the bogus "war on tobacco" or "war on smokers". Bogus because the campaign is about protecting the cigarette industry, including all ingredients/contaminants suppliers, their advertisers, and all their insurers and investors...not to mention their friends in government positions.

If an official or other says that tobacco did this or that, the alarm bells must ring.
