Glantz, Stanton Arnold, Ph.D.

(UCSF Professor of Medicine, Author of "The Cigarette Papers") Stanton A. Glantz worked for the Institute for Health Policy Studies at the University of California--San Francisco (1994)

(LAT 8/8/94), Professor of Medicine, University of California--San Francisco (1994) (LAT 9/18/94). Stanton A. Glantz and Lisa R.A. Smith conducted research analyzing sales tax data from 15 cities in California and Colorado with smoke-free ordinances and compared the statistics to those in cities of similar income, population and smoking prevalence that did not have bans. They found that restaurant businesses had not suffered as a result of the ordinances. The work was published in the July 1994 issue of the American Journal of Public Health (LAT 8/8/94). Glantz says: "The tobacco industry trained anti-smoking researchers to be irresponsibly cautious . . . Tobacco industry intimidation causes the health community to apply a standard of proof so high on smoking and has historically delayed actions year after year. The tobacco industry jumps up and down and screams controversy! It gives cigarette companies their best asset--credibility. It's a fig leaf for politicians." (LAT 9/18/94). (Castano Expert List)
