5. Tobacco Industry Statements in the Department of Justice Lawsuit

Author

Waxman, Henry A

Subjects
Department of Justice Lawsuit, tobacco litigation
Abstract

At the request of Rep. Henry A. Waxman, this report examines recently submitted filings by the five largest cigarette manufacturers in the civil suit brought by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). The report assesses the truthfulness of company positions on three critical health issues: (1) the health effects of smoking; (2) the health effects of environmental tobacco smoke; and (3) the addictiveness of nicotine. The report also examines three companies’ statements about previously controversial issues: Philip Morris’s statements on control of nicotine, R.J. Reynolds’s statements on marketing to children, and British American Tobacco’s statements on document destruction.The report finds that when forced to take legally binding positions, the tobacco industry still does not accept scientific consensus about the harms of their products.

Abstract

ISSUE: Unsustainably high prescription drug prices are a concern for patients, employers, states, and the federal government. There is widespread public support for addressing the problem, and enacting policies to lower drug prices has been a top concern for Congress and the administration over the past three years. Despite this attention, structural changes have not been enacted to rein in drug prices. GOAL: To document the drivers of high U.S. prescription drug prices and offer a broad range of feasible federal policy actions. METHODS: Interviews with experts and organizations engaged on policies related to prescription drug pricing. Review of policy documents, white papers, journal articles, proposals, and position statements. KEY FINDINGS: Action in five areas is key to increasing access to and affordability of medications for Americans: 1) allow the federal government to become a more responsible purchaser; 2) stop patent abuses and anticompetitive practices that block price competition; 3) build a sustainable biosimilar market to create price competition; 4) fix incentives in the drug supply chain and make the supply chain more transparent; and 5) ensure public accountability in the government-funded drug development process. Congress and regulators have a wide range of tools at their disposal to address high drug prices and spending. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
