Description: Blog post about how the tobacco companies have battled against the Proposition 56 ballot initiative, pouring more than $71 million to date into a campaign funding radio and TV ads that have been decried as “supremely sleazy” by the editorial board of the Mercury News, and pilloried by health advocates, the Politifact fact-checking organization and other newspapers including the Los Angeles Times. The opposition campaign, titled “No on 56: Stop the Special Interest Tax Grab,” has so far been 100 percent funded by tobacco companies, with just two companies, Philip Morris (via their affiliate, Altria) and RJ Reynolds donating n excess of $50 million. While Prop. 56 had significant support in polls taken in September, proponents worry that support is slipping under the barrage of cigarette company ads.
