How about U.S.-based companies that open shell corporations in other
countries to avoid paying taxes?

re resp:22: I am in favor of nuclear power, have a neutral position on
guns, and a neutral position on animal testing. I am anti-abortion,
and against tobacco and gambling.

The problem with saying that RJR's activities aren't Nabisco's fault is that
at this point Nabsico is RJR. It may well be that the original owners of
Nabisco has absolutely nothing to do with tobacco, but the original owners
of Nabisco aren't who gets the money when you buy Nabsico products these days.

I don't buy Nabisco anything. What do they sell besides shredded wheat?

food products seem to be involved:
a-1 steak sauce
altoids
cheese nips

country-time crystal light
general foods
honey maid
jell-o
kool-aid

These all sound not much more healthy than tobacco - all based primarily on
alcohol, salt, sugar or fat - and possibly equally addictive. What is a
yuban or a snackwell or a maxim?

I don't think any of these are as unhealthy as tobacco. There isn't any
safe way to consume tobacco.
Most of the food products could be consumed safely as part of a balanced
diet, albeit some of these should not be very large parts. A lot of
these do have more than their fair share of salt and/or sugar, fat is
over-represented, and a few even have alcohol, but I think shredded
wheat and minute rice has none of these, and coffee is low. Beer has
some alcohol, but little sugar, less fat, and no salt. I think there's
nothing here that has all 4.

I like Grape-Nuts, thank you very much, and I don't think it's that
unhealthy =P

"There isn't any safe way to consume tobacco."
Sure there is--in a balloon. Same way you can safely consume mass quantities
of cocaine. ;)

Maxim? As in the "men's magazine"? Is owned by Nabisco? How odd...

re 57:
And given the number of people who die when those baloons burst, I
hardly think that can be called safe.

Well, if the idiots would remember to remove the air from the balloon
before tying it off...

Tobacco is used as an insecticide. It causes convulsions.

I think it's nicotine, specifically, that's used as an insecticide.
Which may very well be why tobacco plants evolved to produce it.
