The Cigarette Papers

The Cigarette Papers

Stanton A. Glantz
4/5 ( ratings)
Around-the-clock tobacco talks, multibillion-dollar lawsuits against the major cigarette companies, and legislative wrangling over how much to tax a pack of cigarettes these are some of the most recent episodes in the war against the tobacco companies. "The Cigarette Papers" shows what started it all: revelations that tobacco companies had long known the grave dangers of smoking, and did nothing about it. In May 1994 a box containing 4,000 pages of internal tobacco industry documents arrived at the office of Professor Stanton Glantz at the University of California, San Francisco. The anonymous source of these "cigarette papers" was identified only as "Mr. Butts." These documents provide a shocking inside account of the activities of one tobacco company, Brown & Williamson, over more than thirty years. Quoting extensively from the documents themselves and analyzing what they reveal, "The Cigarette Papers" shows what the tobacco companies have known and galvanizes us to take action.
