	R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (RJR), based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and founded by Richard Joshua Reynolds in 1874, is the second-largest tobacco firm in the global tobacco industry, and the second-largest U.S. firm (behind Philip Morris).
		During the 1980s and 1990s, the firm was part of a corporation called RJR Nabisco, but Nabisco was spun out of RJR Nabisco in 1999, in part due to pressure from tobacco-related lawsuits.
		These articles were later used as the basis of a bestselling book, Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco, and then into a made-for-TV film.

	RJR Nabisco: Transnational Tobacco Trafficker
		RJR advertised, for example: "More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette." While downplaying the significance of the evidence of smokingÆs hazards, RJR hedged its bets in 1954 by introducing a filtered cigarette brand called Winston, which went on to become one of the perennially best- selling brands in the United States.
		Nabisco itself was born of the merger of two rival baking groups in 1898.
		RJR spokesperson Didi Witt says, "The cigarette was never meant to be targeted for any market other than adult male and female smokers, particularly Marlboro smokers." RJR did not withdraw the Dakota brand, and it is currently test-marketing Dakotas in Houston and Phoenix.

	RJR Nabisco suing spinoff proponents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		RJR said there is some merit to the spinoff idea, but the timing is wrong for turning over its remaining interest in the food business to RJR shareholders.
		But RJR Nabisco said in its lawsuit that LeBow and Icahn have violated securities law by conspiring to form a group to acquire a controlling interest in RJR Nabisco without disclosing that ambition as they seek shareholder backing.
		RJR said that LeBow and Icahn's failure to disclose these intentions as it seeks consent of fellow shareholders for an immediate spinoff of the food company violates federal securities laws that forbid "materially false or incomplete statements" in such a consent solicitation.

		RJR employees and/or agents even visited the Habur Gate, the entrance portal from Turkey into Iraq, to ensure that the cigarettes in question were being handled properly right up to the point where they were delivered across the border into Iraq.
