Amazing little film here showing the evolution of a cigarette. The 6th sense is science, NOT the feeling you get when your relatives who have died of lung cancer are hovering around you.

Very interesting film paid by Tobbaco men about the strict testing that THEY do with each cigarrette, Of course, stuff like this might be laughed at today what with all the chemicals that the cigarrette companies were putting into the little buggers, this almost is one giant hoodwink. Still, there's some great shots of cigarrette processing (namely lucky strikes) and of tobacco fields themselves. It's just when they get into the lab you start to nod sarcastically.

The tobacco growers of America are making sure you have the best smoke possible. How? By using all the sense available to them, plus their new sixth sense: the Sense of Science!

Frightening look at the new American Tobacco Company's Research Lab, which is working hard to develop new tests and instruments to improve their cigs. At the end it's revealed that they're partnering with the University of Virginia's Medical school, and that their research "never stops."

Amazing.
