"The antismokers are no longer a movement in transition, they are described as having 'come of age'. We only have to read very carefully their own literature and more specifically the new Tobacco Control international journal, which gives you the best digest of their conventional wisdom, of who is doing what, where and with whom's [sic] money ...This is the full editorial board of the 'Tobacco Control Journal'. [shows slide to meeting] I think that these slides speak for themselves. For the industry, this is not a golden circle but a new wall of Berlin, and we are locked in."
From a speech entitled "Our Opponents" to the INMAC Conference, Amsterdam 1992.

"Essentially, this journal offers a one-stop shopping guide for anti-smoking literature and other resources."
