AUTISM STUDY DOC FRAUD: This is the study that created the fear of vaccines causing autism. It was published in the prestigious British Medical Journal in 1998 by a doctor named Andrew Wakefield. The doctor is now being accused of "deliberate and elaborate fraud" for creating false information. The British Medical Journal officially retracted the article last year. An investigation continued. The new findings say five of the 12 children in the study had previously documented developmental problems before getting the MMR shot.
TIGHTER TOBACCO LAWS: Tighter regulations for tobacco are going into effect. Any product that was introduced or altered since February 2007 must now be reviewed by the FDA in order to remain on the market. The law applies to cigarettes, roll-your-own tobacco and all smokeless products. More than 200 new tobacco products are introduced every year.
