Risks Associated with Smoking Cigarettes with Low Machine- Measured Yields of Tar and Nicotine

This monograph is unique in another important aspect. For the first time, the authors who prepared the various chapters have had extensive access to the information gleaned from the internal documents of the tobacco companies. The tobacco industry files now open to the public and Preface available on the Internet constitute some 33 million pages of formal and informal memos, meeting notes, research papers, and similar corporate documents. This will address important and timely issues on tobacco control, and will reflect our continuing mission to reduce cancer risk, incidence, morbidity, and mortality caused by tobacco use, as well as enhance the quality of life of current and former users of tobacco.
