..• I "We can no longer afford, as a nation or as individuals, to ignore the scientific proof or the human suffering and the loss of life caused by cigarette smoking." -Mrs. Barney Clark, wife of the world's first artificial heart recipient i "Our teens are being given the message that cigarette smoking is grown up, that 'CAMEL is where a man belongs' and that 'KOOL is the only way to play it.' Seductive advertising and peer pressure influence some 5,000 children to light up for the first time each day. A SMOKING GUN exam- ines the forces responsible for the continued popularity of cigarette smok- ing among young people, and offers ammunition to fight back." -Robert Keeshan, TV's Captain Kangaroo "While some progress has been made against cigarette smoking, the battle is far from over. There are still some 55 million smokers in the United States, and each year more than 300,000 die prematurely. American consumers must be provided with the facts about smoking and the ciga- rette industry if the battle is to be won." -Scott Ballin, J.D., American Heart Association s9oolGZts

A Ford drops an axle and six million cars are recalled. Yet there has never been a recall of a single brand of cigarettes, notwithstanding the more than 300,000 Americans who die each year as a result of using this product. . . . A SMOKING GUN is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand how and why the cigarette industry is literally selling consumers a pack of lies and getting away with murder." -Alan Blum, M.D., Editor, New York State Journal of Medicine "While a SMOKING GUN makes fascinating reading for everyone, it should definitely be on the 'must read' list of every smoker or potential smoker. If I had been fully informed about the dangers of smoking and the way in which the tobacco industry was manipulating me, perhaps I would have quit many years ago and it wouldn't have taken a diagnosis of lung cancer to finally make me kick the habit:' -Anthony DeFilippo, ex-smoker 9eootzte
