Clarke may be sound-ish on jazz and Iraq - but what about BAT?

Guardian Unlimited | Guardian daily comment | Smoke and mirrors: "Let us begin by examining BAT's contribution to public health. Smoking, according to the World Health Organisation, 'is currently responsible for the death of one in 10 adults worldwide ... Half the people that smoke today - that is about 650 million people - will eventually be killed by tobacco.' BAT sells one-sixth of the world's cigarettes. Were responsibility to be divided according to market share, we could accuse it of causing the deaths of 100 million people."
