A doctors’ organisation and physiotherapists’ network have become the latest groups to throw their weight behind a Dutch court case against the big four tobacco firms, accusing them of grievous bodily harm and fraud.
The NTvG represents some 250 doctors while nearly 2,000 physiotherapists are members of the ClaudicationNet foundation, the Volkskrant said on Friday.
‘We doctors want to take on the tobacco industry together with patients,’ Dink Legemate, a chief surgeon at Amsterdam’s AMC teaching hospital and board member of the NTvG.
‘We see the heartache caused by the tobacco industry every day: amputated legs, heart attacks, strokes, people who have shorter lives because they smoked and wrestle with the fact they are going to die.’
Between 70% and 80% of the organisation’s members backed the decision to join the court case, Legemate said.
Cancer charity KWF Kankerbestrijding joined the campaign, launched by smoker Anne Marie van Veen, in March.
Deliberate harm
The aim of the ‘Sick of Smoking’ campaign is not to win damages for patients but to get the big tobacco firms convicted of deliberately causing harm. They have done this by expressly making cigarettes addictive, the organisation says.
In particular, the case accuses the industry of using cigarettes that give false readings in test results through the use of tiny ventilation holes in filters.
Cigarette smoke is tested in laboratories for tar and nicotine, but the results are distorted by the use of holes. These are closed up by the mouth and fingers when people smoke, but left open during the testing process. This means people are inhaling up to 2.5 times more chemicals than lab reports show.
The public prosecution department still has to decide whether to proceed with a prosecution.

“… The Shift in Human Nature
You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.
In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?
Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.
What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. ...”
