I think what you're referencing is an ad campaign put out by the Truth organization (
www.thetruth.com) called "Shards-o-Glass" (
www.shards-o-glass.com). The message behind the ad campaign (which in my opinion, is absolutely wonderful) is that even if a company's product is so outrageously detrimental to your health, and obviously so, they will try to market it as if it's not a big deal at all. Watch the mock commercial they made - genius.
And while tobacco by itself may not contain arsenic, large tobacco companies (including Philip Morris, makers of Marlboro) add a variety of different chemicals proven to cause cancer in laboratory tests.
