(MNAT007267450) (N.M., L & M Liability Notebook, Section 3, Personnel List) He was an Assistant Research Director for Liggett & Myers, Inc. until 1979. He was assigned to identify the ingredients in cigarette smoke that caused cancer in mice. For 25 years, Mold worked on a project to develop a safer cigarette. By 1980, he had developed a cigarette that would be safe to smoke. Mold concluded that cigarette smoking contributed to lung cancer in human beings. Mold has knowledge of the health hazards of tobacco products and the suppression of research and development by the tobacco industry. (ABC Primetime Live 02/25/93) James David Mold was Head of Liggett & Meyers Organic Chemical Research. (PMI's Introduction to Privilege Log and Glossary of Names, Estate of Burl Butler v. PMI, et al, April 19, 1996) James Mold was a scientist for Liggett & Myers in 1955. Address: Durham, NC. He went to work for Liggett in 1955 and he was assigned to identify the ingredients in cigarette smoke that caused cancer in lab mice. They found what the materials present that were causing the cancers on mice skin. The company Executives said "go ahead" to see if a safer cigarette could be developed. Dr. Mold spent 25 years working on the "XA" project developing a different cigarette, specially treated with chemicals that caused no cancer in lab animals. By 1980 he had developed a cigarette that would be safe to smoke. When the XA cigarettes were finally ready for production and marketing in 1978, company lawyers stepped in and scuttled the project. The legal department was afraid that putting out such a cigarette would hurt their courtroom defenses (ABC Primetime Live 2/25/93). Dr. James Mold, while an assistant research director at Liggett in the late 1950s or early 1960s concluded that cigarette smoking contributed to the incidence of lung cancer in human beings. Mold has admitted that CTR's research efforts were not directed to resolving the smoking and health issues and that Liggett Executives did not permit him to publish information about the Liggett/A.D. Little mouse painting experiments, which confirmed that the contents of cigarette smoke caused cancer (Allman complaint, p. 49). Scientists and consultants for Liggett Group Inc. poured more than 20 years into developing a catalyst--made of palladium and magnesium nitrate--that purportedly destroyed cancer-causing compounds in cigarette smoke, according to testimony in a New Jersey wrongful-death case [Cipollone? Haines?] (LAT 7/19/94), Bmt. Project TAME, as it was known inside the company, was abandoned about 1979 because of litigation fears, according to testimony [in Cipollone] by Liggett's former assistant research director, James D. Mold (LAT 7/19/94). According to Mold, "They felt that such a cigarette, if put on the market, would seriously indict them for having sold other types of cigarettes", in a deposition, Mold said that he was forbidden by Liggett to publish his research on the subject (LAT 7/19/94).

HEADLINE: THE GROWING MILITANCY OF THE NATION'S NONSMOKERS
BYLINE: By JANE E. BRODY
BODY:
T WENTYyears ago last week, the Surgeon General of the United States shocked
smokers with news of just how deadly the cigarette habit is. The 1964 report,
prepared by experts who had been approved by cigarette manufacturers, described
mounting evidence that smoking contributed heavily to hundreds of thousands of
deaths each year from heart disease, lung disease and cancer, particularly among
men.
Research has since confirmed and extended those findings, establishing links
between cigarette smoking and a bone disease known as osteoporosis, heart
attacks among women using birth control pills, ulcers, influenza, a dozen types
of cancer, abnormalities among the unborn children of smokers and low birth
weights, which characterize a large percentage of high-risk infants.
The risks of smoking to women, in particular, are now all too apparent. For
example, lung cancer - once the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths among women
- this year will move to the number two slot, just behind breast cancer
nationwide and ahead of it in several states. Two-thirds to three-fourths of
lung cancer deaths are attributable to cigarette smoking.
But the wind is shifting. Changes in attitude are leading to changes in laws
and institutional practices.
Per capita consumption of cigarettes - the number sold in a year divided by
the number of people 18 years and older - has dropped steadily since 1974, as
the antismoking campaign has heated up. Last year it went down by about 5
percent, the biggest decline since 1950, perhaps because cigarette prices
skyrocketed. Although some 53 million American adults continue to smoke, more
than 30 million have quit since 1964. Smoking among teen-agers, which approached
29 percent of high school seniors in 1977, dropped to 21 percent by 1982.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that nonsmokers have gone onto the offensive.
Workers in many places are insisting that employers segregate smokers and
provide air-cleaning devices. People are unapologetically prohibiting smoking in
their homes and automobiles. A growing number routinely ask smokers to put out
cigarettes in restricted areas, such as elevators, even grabbing the offending
cigarette and snuffing it out themselves when met with a refusal.
Neither 'Cool' nor 'Chic'
There are reasons for this new militancy. Within the last few years
researchers have documented the dangers of ''passive smoking,'' including a
TI0149-0783

higher-than-normal incidence of lung cancer among the nonsmoking spouses of
smokers. Studies show that those who work near or live with smokers are more
likely to suffer respiratory damage than those who do not.
There are signs that the image of the smoker as ''cool'' or chic has
withered. In a University of Wisconsin study released last week, college
students ranked people pictured with cigarettes as less sexy, honest and mature
than the same people pictured without cigarettes. As part of the return of
middle-class youth to traditional values, many teen-agers are saying they
disdain cigarettes as a form of drug abuse. As more adults catch the fitness
bug, they, too, look upon smoking as an unhealthy habit.
Institutions are responding to these trends. Airlines set aside 70 percent of
seats for nonsmokers, as against 20 percent in the 1960's. Most commuter
airlines prohibit smoking entirely, as do many bus lines. Passenger trains offer
at least two nonsmoking cars for every smoker.
About 36 states and many cities have passed smoking control laws - a
development approved by more than half the smokers queried in a recent Gallup
Poll. New York City bans smoking in supermarkets. Minnesota requires restaurants
and workplaces to provide no-smoking sections. In California, statewide
initiatives that would have segregated smokers in the workplace failed in 1978
and again in 1980. Then the nonsmokers switched tactics.
''We learned that a state initiative is essentially an advertising contest,
and nobody knows how to advertise better than the cigarette industry,'' said Dr.
Stanton Glantz, an associate professor of medicine at the University of
California in San Francisco and co-founder of Californians for Nonsmokers"
Rights. So the nonsmoking lobby went local, campaigning in cities and towns for
no- smoking ordinances.
Laws segregating smokers in the workplace are now on the books in 21 cities
and counties. After a battle between the tobacco industry, which spent millions
of dollars warning against government regulation, and the antismoking lobby,
which urged citizens to ''Tell the Cigarette Industry to Butt Out,'' San
Francisco voters recently upheld an ordinance requiring employers to make a
reasonable accommodation between smokers and nonsmokers. If an accord is not
possible, nonsmokers' rights are to prevail.
The struggle against the ill effects of smoking, however, is not over.
Although there has been a dramatic reduction in cigarette tar and nicotine,
which may reduce smoking-related cancers, the resulting increase in the carbon
monoxide content of the smoke may increase heart attacks. Among adults who
smoke, the proportion of heavy smokers has risen. Such people have great
difficulty quitting unassisted. In general, so do women, possibly because they
tend to use cigarettes to relieve tension and anxiety (more men say they smoke
primarily for pleasure) and because they fear the weight gain that commonly
follows. Up to 75 percent of all quitters can be expected to relapse.
Campaigning in the Youth Market
The new quit-smoking programs attack the habit at its source, building the
smoker's confidence and assertiveness before taking direct action. For example,
the "life-skills training'' program for young people, pioneered by two
psychologists, Richard I. Evans at the University of Houston and Gilbert J.

Botvin at Cornell University Medical College, teaches such things as coping with
anxiety and improving self-image. (Information on the method is being published
by the National Institute on Drug Abuse in ''The Saying 'No' Technique.'')
Then there is ''Death in the West,'' a powerful 30- minute documentary
produced in Britain several years ago for Thames television. As a result of a
lawsuit involving charges of deceit and copyright violation, Thames agreed never
to distribute or license the film, and not to rebroadcast it in Britain; it had
been shown once in 1976. But a bootlegged copy reached the United States.
Set in Arizona, ''Death in the West'' includes interviews with six men,
portrayed as cowboys, who are dying from diseases caused by smoking. A
particularly powerful scene shows one man astride his horse amid the splendor,
and theme music, of ''Marlboro country.'' A closeup reveals air tubes in the
man's nose and an oxygen tank strapped to his saddle.
The Marlboro ad campaign of the 1960's is reputed to have been the most
successful in history. Marlboro is the most popular cigarette among children.
''The film turns the extraordinary emotive power of the Marlboro image against
itself,'' said Dr. Glantz, who helped develop a curriculum to accompany the
film. Youngsters clip cigarette advertisements, interview smokers, see the tar
and nicotine that's inhaled, hear how advertisers aim at the youth market and
learn about the health effects of smoking. The film has been shown in 40 states;
90,000 children in California alone have used the five-day curriculum.
According to Dr. Glantz, it is working. Research has shown that warnings of
an early death at age 60 mean little to 12-year-olds. ''Children that age want
to control their lives, and the cigarette industry tells them if you smoke
you'll be in control,'' Dr. Glantz said. ''The curriculum and film show smokers
losing control.''
THOSE MOST LIKELY TO LIGHT UP
DATA collected by the Department of Health and Human Services show that,
compared with nonsmokers, adult smokers are more often risk-takers who are
extroverted, defiant and impulsive. They consume more coffee, alcohol,
psychoactive drugs and aspirin than people who don't smoke and are more likely
to be divorced or separated. Smoking rates are generally highest for those at
the lowest socioeconomic levels. Among men, blue-collar workers are the heaviest
smokers. Among women, white-collar workers smoke more. Housewives are more
likely to smoke than working women.
Compared with nonsmoking peers, teen- agers who smoke are likely to have
family and friends who smoke. They seem outgoing and rebellious toward
authority. College-bound youngsters and those from higher socioeconomic
backgrounds are less likely to smoke. Girls who smoke are more social and less
athletic than nonsmokers; they read less and get lower grades. In interviews
with 267 girls aged 13 to 17, more than 30 percent of the smokers said they had
had sexual relations, as against 8 percent of nonsmokers. One-third said they
hate school; only 15 percent of nonsmokers said they hate school.
