The report on film “Insider”

The most interesting thing is that the film was put on the events, which only recently had taken place in America. The real names of main characters of the story, played by Al Pacino and Russell Crowe, are Dr. Lowell Bergman and Uigand. Dr. Uigand actually testified in court against the tobacco company "Brown & Williamson" (by the way, the management of the company after the movie has filed a lawsuit against the producers of the film) and convinced the court of justice, so then in fifty U.S. states have filed lawsuits on tobacco companies for a total of 246 billion dollars.

This is not about that tobacco itself is addictive and harmful for health. The question is what chemical elements and compounds the tobacco companies add in production of cigarettes to have "better taste", "better smoke" and so on.

But they did not agree that the risk of adverse effects increases many times because of the additives to tobacco, which tobacco companies are doing in the name of merchantability. Of course, such information should be open, so the act of Dr. Uigand is a feat. CBS banned to show an interview with Ugind and was afraid of tobacco workers, though perfectly aware that
