==Bush and the tobacco industry==
George W. Bush, his family and many members of his administration have been friendly towards tobacco companies. Bush's chief political advisor [[Karl Rove]] carried on a dual role as a paid lobbyist for [[Philip Morris]] while also advising George W. Bush when he was Governor of Texas. Ex-Wisconsin Governor [[Tommy Thompson]], Bush's appointment to head the Department of Health and Human Services, was also friendly to tobacco companies, having taken several trips funded substantially by tobacco companies, according to CorpWatch.[http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=896] After his failed reelection bid, George H.W. Bush, (G.W. Bush's father) rode in [[Philip Morris]] corporate aircraft, gave talks on behalf of PM, accepted honoraria paid by the cigarette maker and helped PM promote its [[Accommodation Program]].[http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/vvf94a00]
