JOHN SLADE, M.D.
University of of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
St. Peter's Medical Center
254 Eden Avenue
New Brunswick, New Jersey 08903
Dr. Slade is 38 years old. Received his B.A. from Oberlin
College and a M.D. from Emory University in 1974. His letter
of June 17, 1987 indicates that he intends to testify on the
issue of causation, including the tobacco industry's efforts
to refute the causation issue, and on addiction.
He is currently working on a grant with the Hunterton
Health Fund entitled "Training Health Professionals in the
Cessation of Tobacco Use". He is obviously~n advocate for
the anti-smoking campai.gn and isinvolved.-~n community activities
such as the Advisory Council to Stop Teenage Addiction to
Tobacco, Palo Alto, California (1987 to the present) and was
a Program Chairman for the "Treating Tobacco Dependence"
1987 Symposium of the Committee on Drug and Alcohol Abuse
of the Medical Society of New Jersey.
I note that one of his publications is Slade, Kopelowitz
and Nissenblatt, An Analysis of R. J. Reynolds' Position Paper
on Health Effects of Smoking, Tobacco Products Litigation
Reporter, Parts I, II and III, 1986; Part IV, 1987. Other
publications of interest are:
Slade, Statistics, Smoking and Health, JAMA, 1986, Volume
255 at 1015, 1016;
Slade, A Disease Model of Cigarette Use, New York State Journal
of Medicine 1985, 85 (7):294-298.
He also made a presentation entitled An Examination of
Tobacco Industry Research on Smoking and Health presented
at the Second National Conference on Tobacco Products Liability,
Boston, January 1986. Additionally, he presented a paper
Tobacco and Tobacco Dependence at the annual meeting of the
American Medical Society on Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependencies,
San Francisco, April, 1986. Finally, I expect that his presentation
"Proving Causation", The Third National Conference On Tobacco
Products Liability, Boston, January, 1987 would be of interest.
Dr. Slade included as part of his report, a copy of a
book review which is to be published shortly. In this review,
he concludes that "Nicotine Dependence is by far the Country's
greatest drug problem". He discusses the nicotine withdrawal
syndrome and refers to the DSM III outline as set forth in
the American Psychiatric Association Standards.
In summary, Dr. Slade is obviously an anti-smoking advocate
who has come to Mr. Fine from the tobacco litigation project.
I suspect that R. J. Reynolds may have assembled information
on Dr. Sladefrom other sources.
