...research studies made in the past three years, the report repeats that cigarette tars can cause lung cancer; it depressingly documents further evidence that the weed can bring on peptic ulcers, aortic aneurysm, cancer of the larynx, mouth, pharynx, esophagus and bladder. A two-pack-a-day smoker aged 55 to 64, says the report, has 34 times more chance of dying of lung cancer than a nonsmoker. But an equally grave danger may be coronary heart disease caused by the massive doses of nicotine and carbon monoxide in cigarettes...

We believe that improved filters would help stop premature loss of life from lung cancer, emphysema, heart-artery disease, and other diseases associated with heavy smoking...
...over to bigger McCann-Erickson, Inc. as a vice president. Even in a peripatetic business, Foote moved around more than most. He left McCann not once but twice, the first time over "policy differences," the second because of what he describes as a crisis of conscience. A reformed chain smoker who worried increasingly about cancer, Foote finally decided not to work for any agency that had a cigarette client. After 1964, he spent much of his time with the National Interagency Council on Smoking and Health. An ad that he wrote for the cancer society is one of his personal...
