A couple of years back one of the major tobacco firms was involved in
sposoring a Web site in the US. I think it only lasted a few months before
the whole thing finished due to public pressue etc, etc.
Guess a search in either www.news.com or www.wired. com should result in
something.
Also, in the UK rizla has a site.
