Here is an excellent link to New Internationalist magazine issue 369 - Hooked on Tobacco which covers the fact that multi-million dollar settlements, rising taxes and tough public health campaigns can give the impression that tobacco has had its day.  Not quite.  The World Health Organisation (WHO) predicts that by 2030 smoking will be the single biggest cause of death in the world.  This is reason enough for New Internationalist to dig deeper.  New Internationalist is an independent, not-for-profit communications cooperative.  It brings to life the people, the ideas and the action in the fight for global justice.  Check out this issue here: http://www.newint.org/issue369/
