Reuters quote of the day, September 21

London, Sep 20 (Reuters) Following is a notable quote from history. ''The same people who tell us that smoking doesn't cause cancer are now telling us that advertising cigarettes doesn't cause smoking.'' -- Ellen Goodman, US columnist, in Newsweek magazine in July 1986. Major cigarette makers went on trial on September 21, 2004 in the US government's 0 billion case, which accused the tobacco industry of deliberately deceiving the public about the risks of smoking since the 1950s.
