An Effective Approach to Tobacco Regulation
Dr. C. Everett Koop '37 said last week that America's tobacco companies are "equally evil" as the sellers of illegal drugs, and that they're the "real terrorists" in our world. With all possible respect to the former surgeon general, whom I have met and admire tremendously, I think his (and everybody else's) insistence on blaming the tobacco companies for the epidemic of cigarette smoking is, these days, illogical and unproductive.
