CTFK conducts misleading push poll
http://www.tobaccofreekids.org/content/press_office/2013/2013_06_survey/Annotated for Release.pdf
then claims most Americans want FDA to regulate e-cigarettes and cigars
New Poll: Americans Strongly Back FDA Authority over Tobacco, Want FDA to Regulate Cigars, E-Cigaret - Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids
fails to disclose receiving >$100 million from Big Pharma

Interestingly, CTFK's poll found that 80% of respondent supported FDA regulations to
"Require tobacco companies to take measures, when scientifically possible, to make tobacco products less harmful"
and that 75% of respondents supported FDA regulations to
"Require that any new tobacco products be no more harmful than existing tobacco products"

But of course, CTFK failed to acknowledge (or inform its poll respondents) that FDA regulation of e-cigarettes would ban e-cigarettes, and would prohibit tobacco companies from marketing these far less harmful alternatives to smokers (while keeping lethal cigarettes legal).


While CTFK has never disclosed that its received >$100 million from Big Pharma since 1994, at least CTFK's deceptive push poll acknowledges that it was funded by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which is the largest shareholder of Johnson & Johnson stock.
