Ministry blasts tobacco award bid

The Ministry of Health has added its voice to a chorus of opposition to a tobacco research project being nominated for a prestigious national prize.

China National Tobacco, which doubles as a corporation and government bureau, says its scientists have reduced the harm of cigarettes and has put forward their research for the 2012 National Award for Science and Technology.

The inclusion of the project on a long list published by the Ministry of Science and Technology has led to harsh protests.
