ETS Issues

by Gene Borio

10 Jan 1969 Wakeham reviews maternal smoking/low-birth-weight babies studies
Exhibit 10269 (Philip Morris) Dr. Wakeham Goldsmith (president and vice-chairman) re: smoking and baby weight (cover memo to Exhibit 10270) January 10, 1969 “We now have a study of the effect of smoking and pregnancy which supports previous conclusions that smoking mothers produce smaller babies. . . The position of the medical people is that smaller babies suffer detrimental effects all through life. . . 6. All the investigations of this type agree that smoking mothers have babies of lower birth weight than non-smoking mothers, and that these lower weight babies are more likely to experience problems later in life."

Apr 1979 Enstrom attributes rise in lung cancer among nonsmokers to "factors other than personal cigarette smoking" (JNCI)
Enstrom, J.E. "Rising lung cancer mortality among nonsmokers." Journal of the National Cancer Institute 6 2 (4) : 7 55-7 60 ; 19 79. "[The data] suggest that a more complete understanding of lung cancer etiology is needed."
10 Apr 1985 TI REPORT ON PUBLIC SMOKING ISSUE
"REPORT ON PUBLIC SMOKING ISSUE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE APRIL 10, 1985" is Kloepfer's report to the Exec Cmte on methods used to combat the "nonsmoker battle for smoke-free air" on social, economic and scientific grounds. "The nonsmoker battle for smoke-free air -- more complicated than fire safety, more damaging than restrictions and a greater bottom line threat than excises...The logical appeal of smoke-free air is irresistible to politicians, commentators, even some smokers. It is the most effective way to reduce smoking....The focus is dangerously narrow: ambient smoke. Some of our retaliation is working....We have only begun, however, to take the decisions, make the commitments and exploit the opportunities that can win this battle over the basic social acceptability of smoking." "The bandwagon is not yet rolling down Tobacco Road. But at least we are slowing it down with these implementations of our plan." "We say no one knows if cigarette smoke is dangerous to the smoker, much less to the nonsmoker." "To summarize, the direction we are headed will be to deflect this [ETS] issue, to redefine it, to broaden it, to demonstrate as we have in the case of accidental fires and youth behavior that we are contributing to the solution rather than to the problem."
