NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

JOIN US!

Your support is needed to keep up the fight for the right to breathe clean air, and so that we can keep pushing back against the agenda of the tobacco cartel!

 

FARCES (Foster All Restrictions to Control and Eliminate Smoking) was founded by ordinary citizens as a way for ordinary citizens to fight a new type of propaganda crusade - anti-antitobacco, and hence against tobacco companies.  This is to say that Farces.org is anti-anti-antitobacco as first there were antitobacco organizations warning of the use of tobacco and then there were anti-antitobacco organizations attempting to negate their warnings.

 

FARCES is active in local political fights, in the media, and in research. We believe that we have a huge internet base to recruit from. FARCES members in several countries are involved in activism, recruitment and education. And our numbers are growing every day.

Many - but certainly not all - of our members and supporters are non-smokers. What we really have in common is a concern that today's aggressive lobbying by the tobacco cartel is leading to a number of highly undesirable consequences: a "drug-war" style victimization of one-quarter of the population; onerous taxation disproportionately aimed at lower income earners; run-away litigation resulting in a massive transfer of wealth to lawyers and government; a de facto disrespect for the idea of individual rights; the dangerous debasement and misrepresentation of science in order to expedite a political agenda.

 

FARCES is not a creature of the tobacco industry, and certainly does not receive funding from Big Tobacco. This means we do not have to "toe the line" within the confines of some corporate agenda--or risk moneys not being laundered to us. It means we are free to call 'em as we see 'em - and to criticize not only the proponents of tobacco, but governments (which we frequently do). It also means that your support is even more important, to ensure the continuation of this independent voice against the corruption of the anti-antitobacco cartel.
