Abstract

The article explores the extremity of the antismoking movement in the U.S. Michael Siegel, a public-health doctor who has been a leader in the movement, has been labeled a traitor for questioning one of the medical claims about passive smoking, as well as the wisdom of extreme measures such as outdoor smoking bans. The author says that the tobacco industry has switched to questioning emerging evidence of the dangers of second-hand smoke, after the dangers of first-hand smoke became indisputable.
