Abstract

Every year, tobacco causes 3,600 deaths in Slovenia and 6 million deaths worldwide. In »Golden Holocaust: Origins of the Cigarette Catastrophe and the Case for Abolition«, Robert N. Proctor reveals the tobacco industry‘s practices from the beginning of the 19th century to the present day. Proctor proves that the tobacco industry executed the worst misuse of science since the Nazi era. Te tobacco industry to this day continues deceiving its costumers with ineffective flters, false tar values, the addition of anesthetics and bronchodilators to the tobacco mixtures, chemical processing of the nicotine into a more potent form, etc. Cigarettes remain as dangerous a product as they were 70 years ago. Abolition of the tobacco industry is possible – to reach this goal, it is crucial to prevent the sale of cigarettes to young generations. In many countries doctors play an important role in striving for this objective.
