Big Tobacco must be contributing to the cash-flow
somewhere like the formula companies are.  I read
your statement below to my DH who is a family
practitioner.  He pointed out that if the strong
link between tobacco use and SIDS were made
generally known, the lawsuits (at least here in
the US) would be tremendous.  We'd see
plaintiff's awards above and beyond what we've
seen for cigarette smokers--juries would have a
lot more sympathy for an innocent baby who died
because someone else in it's home chose to smoke.
 

Interesting that formula and tobacco companies
employ some very similar underhanded practices.

Or what about tobacco, relegated to #4 on the  
recommendations. "Advise 
parents not to smoke....." blah blah blah. Why 
not say  "Smoking tobacco kills 
babies"? They say it in Canada.
    Why aren't they making a prohibition against 

tobacco? The evidence is 
iron-clad against tobacco in any form, first 
hand,  second hand, third 
hand.........you name it!
