"Smoking and Health: Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General of the United States" Leonard M. Schuman MD Hand Signed 3X5 Card.
ES-4272E
Smoking and Health: Report of the
Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General of the United States was
a landmark report published on January 11, 1964,[1] by the Surgeon General's Advisory
Committee on Smoking and Health, chaired by the then Surgeon
General of the United States, Dr. Luther Leonidas Terry, M.D., regarding the negative health
effects of tobacco smoking. Although
it was not the first such declaration—or even the first declaration by an
official of the United States of America—it
is notable for being arguably the most famous such declaration and has had
lasting and widespread effects both on the tobacco industry and on the worldwide perception of
smoking. The health effects of tobacco had
been debated by users, medical experts, and governments alike since its
introduction to European culture. Hard evidence for the ill effects
of smoking became apparent with the results of several long-term studies
conducted in the early to middle twentieth century, such as the epidemiology
studies of Richard Doll and
pathology studies of Oscar Auerbach. On June
12, 1957, then-Surgeon General Leroy Burney "declared
it the official position of the U.S. Public Health Service that the evidence
pointed to a causal relationship between smoking and lung cancer"A
committee of the United Kingdom's Royal College of
Physicians issued a report on March 7, 1962,
Which "clearly indicted cigarette smoking
as a cause of lung cancer and bronchitis" and argued that "it
probably contributed to cardiovascular disease as well."
After pressure from the American Cancer Society,
the American Heart Association,
the National Tuberculosis
Association, and the American Public F. Kennedy authorized Surgeon General Terry's
creation of the Advisory Committee. The committee met from November 1962 to
January 1964 and analyzed over 7,000 scientific articles and papers.
