The health hazards of cigarettes were scientifically established by the 1930s. What kept those findings under wraps for so long? This program explores the history of medical research into smoking and the sustained efforts of tobacco companies to block public scrutiny of their deadly product. Renowned anti-smoking activists—including Dr. Stanton Glanz of the University of California San Francisco, Dr. Robert Proctor of Stanford University, and Tobacco.org founder Gene Borio—discuss links between war and cigarette production, the creation of the duplicitous Council for Tobacco Research, the present-day health consequences of Big Tobacco tactics, and other issues.
