Read this important Siegel blog—now

In a hard-hitting blog published yesterday, Dr. Michael Siegel, a professor in the Department of Community Health Sciences, Boston University School of Public Health, has shone a little light into some of the murky corners of U.S. tobacco control legislation.

He is at times scathing about the road that led to regulations on “lights” descriptors and flavors—regulations that have not achieved what the public might reasonably have expected them to have achieved.

Reading the blog it seems as though the public would have been better served if the regulatory process had been removed from the smoke-filled rooms in which it was apparently concocted, and then infused with the sort of candor that Siegel brings to these matters.

His blog is at http://tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/anti-smoking-researchers-attack-tobacco.html.
