Kloepfer, William J.
William Kloepfer (President of the Tobacco Institute) gives a combative portrayal of the industry's fight against public health. Kloepfer portrays public health advocates as "the invaders." States "Some of our retaliation is working" against workplace restrictions. States desire to "clone" Lew Solmon, who argued on the industry's behalf against the social costs theory of smoking. Describes efforts to "offset the onslaught of research we expect in the next 18-24 months from the antis." States "our objective is to contain and redefine the environmental smoke issue in order to decrease the pressure for safety measures. States, "we need to be candid with ourselves in recognizing that it will never be established that there are no effects" of secondhand tobacco smoke.
