Welcome to TobaccoControl Tactics

TCTactics aims to provide up-to-date information on the Anti-Smoking Industry (aka 'Tobacco Control'), its allies and those promoting an anti-tobacco agenda. The website explores how this industry - with support from the pharmaceutical nicotine producers and government tax funds - influences and often distorts public health debates, using a whole raft of lobbying, public relations tactics and junk science.

This Wiki site is offered to you by those bloggers and their supportive smoking and non-smoking friends who are fed up with the continuing harrassment of smokers by NGOs and (junk-)scientists who use YOUR tax money and the money of the pharmaceutical nicotine treatment producers to 'denormalise' normal citizens. The website aims to be a central resource of information about the Tobacco Control lobby and its tactics for all of those who fight for Free Choice.
