I read on my tobacco control page that the IPA took funding from the tobacco industry, with evidence relating back to 1993. It turns out that in 1993 I wasn't even in Australia, so I don't know how this would affect me.
The other thing to bear in mind is that tobacco advertising in Australia wasn't illegal in 1993, so I wouldn't be surprised if the IPA took money from the tobacco industry in 1993. I wouldn't be surprised if major newspaper groups took funding from the tobacco industry in 1993. As a matter of fact, I hope you are shocked to hear that the Australian Labor Party was soliciting donations from the tobacco industry as recently as 2011, so they may very well have taken money from the tobacco industry in the distant past, but to be quite honest, so was everybody. It was a legal industry that was advertising, that was promoting its products. It's hard to get excited about this.
