==Alcohol==
The [[Society for the Study of Addiction]] published a paper by researchers at the Deakin University School of Psychology, Australia, about a study of use of public relations companies by the [[alcohol industry]].  The study proposes that "...alcohol industry 'social aspects/public relations' organizations (SAPROs) serve the agenda of lending credibility to industry claims of [[corporate responsibility]] while promoting ineffective industry-friendly interventions (such as school-based education or TV advertising campaigns) and creating doubt about interventions which have a strong evidence base (such as higher taxes on alcoholic beverages)."

The study concluded that Australian SAPRO [[Drinkwise]] "has been used by the alcohol industry to create an impression of [[social responsibility]] while promoting interventions that maintain profits and campaigning against effective interventions such as higher taxes on alcohol".<ref>{{cite journal|last=Miller|first=Peter G.|author2=de Groot, Florentine|author3=McKenzie, Stephen|author4=Droste, Nicolas|title=Alcohol industry use of social aspect public relations organizations against preventative health measures|journal=Society for the Study of Addiction|date=10 May 2011|volume=106|series=Vested Interests|issue=9|pages=1560–1567|doi=10.1111/j.1360-0443.2011.03499.x|pmid=21781203|url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1360-0443.2011.03499.x|url-access=subscription}}</ref>
