USC Tobacco Industry Monitoring Project Collection
AH, Those Military Minds]
Abstract
Newpaper clippings from 1962 describing a move by the Air Force and potential move by the Navy to ban the distribution of gift cigarettes to its personel in hospitals. One article takes a negative view of this decision, the other is more factual. The last clipping describes a speech given by the Vice President of the Tobacco Institute Inc. saying that scientific research has "failed to support the theory that smoking plays a major role in lung cancer."
