On April 14, 1994, the Chief Executive Officers of the seven largest tobacco companies in the United States testified before the House Subcommittee on Health and the Environment that they did not "believe" that nicotine was addictive. Indications that these CEOs were hardly being candid surfaced in the spring of 1996. Herb Block comments, "Internal documents showed a consistent pattern of knowledge and concealing of information on calculated efforts to promote and increase cigarette addiction." He portrays the CEOs with Pinocchio noses. / cigrtt_cartoon / smcig_cartoon

Herb Block has foreseen some issues, including the anti-smoking campaign that had barely begun in the United States in 1967, but in which he was personally involved. In 1959, he suffered a heart attack and after six weeks in the hospital, quit what had been a multi-pack-a-day habit. In his 1993 memoirs, Herblock: A Cartoonist's Life, he wrote: "For quite a while I resisted doing cartoons on the subject, not wanting to be a reformed smoker calling on others to conform. But with the health hazards increasingly obvious and tobacco companies showing a callous irresponsibility, it was clearly an issue worth working on." / cig_cemetery

The American rattlesnake
Cartoon shows "American" snake, the emblem used by Americans as a device on their flag before the adoption of the stars and stripes, with two of three coils around units of British soldiers, commanded by Burgoyne and Cornwallis at time of their surrender. Gillray is lampooning the British war effort. The verse printed below the image reflects the widespread sympathy in England for the American cause. / / bigsnake / smsnake
