Product Description
This propaganda piece lobbies against big tobacco and portrays the tobacco industry as a lying, greedy, and cutthroat business that knowingly hides the truth about the health problems caused by smoking cigarettes. Table Of Contents: (1) Up In Smoke (1960) - BYU LDS Department of Education sponsored film that attacks the tobacco industry. This surprisingly progressive film portrays the tobacco industry as greedy and participating in deceitful advertising aimed at American youth. "I want ads in every Boy Scout magazine," says the big Tobacco boss of the fictitious cigarette company JB, which sells Humbar Cigarettes. When the CEO's son raises the health issues associated with smoking, he describes it as "nonsense" and explains that he is responsibility to the shareholder; all he does is just "puts a little whitewash over the rough spots." The Boss proceeds to show his son charts that show cancer and cigarette smoke are correlated, but continues to keep a hard line pronouncing, "money talks and right is says for you to quit biting the hand that feeds you." - 21 Minutes
