From the news release, "UCSF released online (October 26) a million pages of formerly secret documents belonging to the world's second largest tobacco company (BAT). The papers, acquired legally but in the face of many BAT obstructions and delays, include documents related to international cigarette smuggling, BAT's efforts to thwart World Health Organization anti-smoking initiatives, and the on-going trial in the U.S. against six tobacco companies on federal racketeering charges for deceiving the public about cigarette smoking hazards."
