This \u201ctruth\u201d serves as the foundation for tobacco control policymaking across most of the world.<br \/>\nPublic health bureaucrats, politicians and non-profit health advocacy groups believe so strongly in the evil of big tobacco that they ostracize any person or group they deem to be advancing the interests of the tobacco industry.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps big tobacco is evil.
