| Résumé : |
The overarching goal of tobacco control is to re- duce illness by reducing consumption. Most programs try to reach this goal by targeting the individual smokers. But what if it was possible to reach the goal by starting at the other end of the chain, by starting at the corporation instead? This paper looks at one area where corporations can be affected – the area of law. While the corporate façade can often seemingly impenetrable and even impervious to individual consumers, there are ways to force big corporations to sit up and take notice. Some of those ways are discussed in this paper. While the information in this booklet was taken from various sources, some of the most helpful have been “The Law of Partnerships and Corporations” by Anthony VanDuzer, and “Product Liability in Canada” by Dean Edgell. Both of these books are comprehensive texts that explain the law clearly and simply. Another excellent source of information is “Tobacco Litigation Worldwide” by Lisbeth Pedersen of the Norwegian Agency for Health and social Welfare, which gives a country- by-country overview of legal actions taken against tobacco companies. |
