RE: Joint Meeting of ETS Advisory Groups - London, April 8, 1986

Abstract

Recounts meeting of industry ETS advisory groups, representing major tobacco companies and trade associations. Reports on: IAQ survey by Tobacco Advisory Council; Verband interest in industry sponsored epidemiological studies of sidestream smoke, "reported to contain many mutagenic and/or carcinogenic substances"; Verband concern over upgrading of acetaldehyde to A1 level in Germany "because there is close to 2mg in the sidestream of a typical cigarette"; TI projects on ETS including approach of Japanese industry with intention of obtaining raw Hirayama data for re-evaluation; and RJR airplane air quality study. Suggest future meetings to share research and that RJR seek representation on Tobacco Advisory Council Research Committee.

Argued in a 1988 joint meeting of the worldwide tobacco companies that the industry should stop developing "marketable science" for use in public relations to fight the secondhand smoke issue and instead should establish a safe threshold for exposure to secondhand smoke.
