SCOTH
(Scientific Committee on Tobacco and Health)
Scientific Committee on Tobacco and Health was convened by the UK Dept. of Health in early 1994, replacing the Independent Scientific Committee on Smoking and Health. Advises the UK Labour government's Dept. of Health on tobacco issues. BAT, Gallaher Group Plc, Imperial Tobacco Group Plc and Rothmans (UK) sought legal challenges against SCOTH for releasing a report relating to smoking without consulting the tobacco industry.
