research director disclosed that the American Tobacco Company had unsuccessfully attempted to eliminate or reduce the elements in tobacco which produce these polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Plaintiffs' witness Dr. Wynder testified that certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons had definitely been isolated and identified in cigarette smoke. These polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons In addition, the American Tobacco Company's answer to interrogatories showed that the American Tobacco Company since 1927 had been conducting frequent tests showing not only the presence of measurable quantities of arsenic in the mainstream smoke of Lucky Strikes, but also showing that from 1927 to 1951 the amount of arsenic in Lucky Strikes and in the mainstream smoke of Lucky Strikes regularly increased year by year more than three fold from 11.9 micrograms per cigarette in 1927 to 42.1 micro- grams in 1951, and from .52 micrograms in the mainstream smoke in 1927 to 1.85 micrograms in 1951. "we are convinced that smoking is a cause of king cancer" that arsenic has an irritative, accumulative effect and is a factor in the production of cancer of the lung So when Surgeon General Luther L. Terry issued the report of his special commission on smoking in January 1964, it was front page news. For the first time, Smoking and Health: Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General emphatically linked smoking to lung cancer and other diseases. To many people, the findings were not entirely surprising. Evidence of smoking as a cause of lung cancer had surfaced much earlier. For that reason, a national commission was requested in 1961 by an alliance of the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, the National Tuberculosis Association and the American Public Health Association. Tobacco use imposes enormous public health and fnancial costs on this nation —costs that are completely avoidable. Until we end tobacco use, more people will become addicted, more people will become sick, more families will be devastated by the loss of loved ones, and the nation will continue to incur damaging medical and lost productivity costs. Now is the time to fully implement proven and effective interventions that reduce tobacco-caused death and disease and to help end this public health epidemic once and for all. in health care costs and loss of productivity. This new Surgeon General’s report focuses on cigarettes and cigarette smoke to provide further evidence on how cigarettes cause addiction and premature death. It identifes better approaches to helping people stop smoking and brings to light new ideas for how to lower the incidence of smoking-caused disease. Twenty years of successful state efforts show that the more states invest in tobacco control programs, the greater the reductions in smoking, and the longer states maintain such programs, the greater and faster the impact. The largest impacts come when we increase tobacco prices, ban smoking in public places, offer affordable and accessible cessation treatments and services, and combine media campaigns with other initiatives. We have outlined a level of state investment in comprehensive tobacco control and prevention efforts that, if implemented, would result in an estimated fve million fewer smokers over the next fve years. Hundreds of thousands of premature deaths caused by tobacco use could be prevented, and many fewer of the nations’ children would be deprived by premature death of their aunts, uncles, parents, and grandparents. Importantly, in 2009 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration received statutory authority to regulate tobacco products. This has the potential to lead to even greater progress in reducing morbidity and mortality from tobacco use. Tobacco prevention and control efforts need to be commensurate with the harm caused by tobacco use. Otherwise, tobacco use will remain the largest cause of preventable illness and death in our nation for decades to come. When we help Americans quit tobacco use and prevent our youth from ever starting, we all beneft. Now is the time for comprehensive public health and regulatory approaches to tobacco control. We have the knowledge and tools to largely eliminate tobacco caused disease. If we seize this moment, we will make a difference in all of our communities and in the lives of generations to come. American Tobacco Company Using Subliminal Messages When   ). The title read, "WIDOW, AN UNSUNG HERO" and "SMOKERS WIDOW." I am glad to finally see justice in an unjust world. All the money in the world could not bring back the life that I lost but the money could have helped my widow, son and two small daughters too. Terry’s 10-man commission met in late 1962. After 14 months of studying 7,000 articles with more than 150 consultants, the commission reported that average smokers had a nine- to tenfold risk of developing lung cancer compared to nonsmokers. Heavy smokers had at least a twenty-fold risk. The report also implicated smoking as a cause of chronic bronchitis, emphysema and heart disease. All thanks to EDWIN M GREEN SR.
