2009年在美国声名鹊起的茶党主张有限的政府和低税收。茶党组织,特别是美国繁荣和自由工作组织,反对无烟法和烟草税。我们使用了传统烟草文档库、Wayback Machine、谷歌、LexisNexis、媒体与民主中心和响应性政治中心(Opensecs.org)来检查烟草公司与茶党的联系。从20世纪80年代开始,烟草公司试图通过创建一场草根吸烟者权利运动,营造出广泛反对烟草控制政策的形象。与此同时,他们通过第三方团体资助和合作,如健全经济公民、法新社和FreedomWorks的前身,以完成他们的经济和政治议程。一些关键的参与者、战略和这些团体向茶党组织传达的信息一直在延续。2012年,茶党开始在国际上传播。茶党不是一个纯粹的草根运动,是在2009年自发发展起来的,它是随着时间的推移而发展起来的,部分是通过烟草行业和其他企业利益集团数十年的工作。对于美国和国际上的控烟倡导者来说,重要的是预测和应对茶党对烟草控制政策的反对,并确保政策制定者、媒体和公众了解烟草行业、茶党及其相关组织之间的长期联系。
The Tea Party, which gained prominence in the USA in 2009, advocates limited government and low taxes. Tea Party organisations, particularly Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks, oppose smoke-free laws and tobacco taxes. We used the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library, the Wayback Machine, Google, LexisNexis, the Center for Media and Democracy and the Center for Responsive Politics (opensecrets.org) to examine the tobacco companies’ connections to the Tea Party. Starting in the 1980s, tobacco companies worked to create the appearance of broad opposition to tobacco control policies by attempting to create a grassroots smokers’ rights movement. Simultaneously, they funded and worked through third-party groups, such as Citizens for a Sound Economy, the predecessor of AFP and FreedomWorks, to accomplish their economic and political agenda. There has been continuity of some key players, strategies and messages from these groups to Tea Party organisations. As of 2012, the Tea Party was beginning to spread internationally. Rather than being a purely grassroots movement that spontaneously developed in 2009, the Tea Party has developed over time, in part through decades of work by the tobacco industry and other corporate interests. It is important for tobacco control advocates in the USA and internationally, to anticipate and counter Tea Party opposition to tobacco control policies and ensure that policymakers, the media and the public understand the longstanding connection between the tobacco industry, the Tea Party and its associated organisations.
