BOOKS:

The Cigarette Papers Available Online at No Cost

The online version of the book The Cigarette Papers is now available at no cost to the viewer through Galen II, the digital library of the University of California San Francisco (http://ark.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/ft8489p25j/). A collaboration between the UCSF Library Center for Knowledge Management and the UC Press, the book reveals that the tobacco industry had known for decades that smoking is addictive and that tobacco products cause disease and death.

The Cigarette Papers illustrates how the tobacco industry has engaged in tactics to try to convince the public that there is still doubt about the harmful effects of tobacco or that the effects have been exaggerated.  These campaigns of misinformation have been designed to maintain company profits, to block government regulation, and to defeat lawsuits filed by individuals with tobacco caused illnesses.

The book is based on over 10,000 pages of tobacco documents from the Brown and Williamson Corporation that had been sent anonymously to Professor Stanton A. Glantz at UCSF.

In July 1995, the UCSF Library/CKM released the Brown and Williamson documents for public use on the Internet.  In 1997, Glantz and his colleagues Lisa A. Bero, Ph.D., Peter Hanauer, L.L. B., John Slade, M. D., and Deborah E. Barnes, B. A., wrote The Cigarette Papers, a scientific and legal analysis of those documents published by the University of California Press .   Also in 1997, The Cigarette Papers was made available for annual subscriptions through the Galen II website.

The entire text of the book is searchable, providing much broader access to content than through the index of the paper version.  Additionally, there are hypertext links from the online book citations to the relevant Brown and Williamson documents.  Readers have the opportunity to scrutinize the authors? interpretations of the documents and to draw their own conclusions.
