You might want to review the Ontario Medical Association's recent Media
Release and Statement on Tobacco Industry Programs. Although the situation
is slightly different in that these programs were developed by the tobacco

an example of the type of programming that they would be willing to fund.
The website address for these are:

http://www.oma.org/phealth/smokeandmirrors.htm This is a report on
tobacco industry programming.
